Developing cloud infrastructure to facilitate healthcare research
London, remote or hybrid
Use your AWS expertise to build secure and scalable cloud infrastructure that will facilitate research and development within the healthcare sector!
This company's diagnostics visualisation platform allows medical researchers to visualise and analyse clinical data in order to develop new treatments that will massively improve the lives of patients. Key to this is the creation of secure multi-tenant and multi-region storage solution that allows swift and secure access to various types of data. Data security and integrity is of paramount importance, and the solution needs to be compliant with healthcare industry software standards.
This role calls for strong AWS skills, rapid application development, and software development skills, a solid understanding of security aspects. You will also need excellent communication, collaboration, and organisational skills. Of prime importance is that you take a holistic, not just technical, view, and be proactive in reaching out to colleagues and clients to fully understand the product's requirements, stakeholders, and how it sits within the company's broader mission of creating world-leading software tools to further medical research.
Reporting directly to the Technical Product Lead, you'll be contributing to product architecture, designing and implementing services, and data pipelines; developing automated testing and CI/CD infrastructure.
You will need:

  • A 1st or 2.1 in Computer Science, Engineering, or a similarly relevant discipline, and substantial commercial software engineering experience; to be au fait with Agile ceremonies, version control, and CI/CD, and software testing.
  • Solid expertise in developing and deploying microservices on AWS; knowledge of Infrastructure-as-Code; DevOps, and experience with NoSQL databases.
  • Demonstrably good coding skills, ideally in Java and / or Python; knowledge of RESTful APIs and service integration patterns and security frameworks such as OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect (OIDC).
  • You must have full, existing, and unrestricted right to work in the UK.
    Not essential, but the following would be a bonus: Skills in containerisation/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes etc.); IaC; DynamoDB; Spring Boot and Gradle; knowledge of standards such as ISO 13485 or IEC 62304.
    This role is predominantly remote, with occasional attendance of the company's London office - you will therefore need to be based in the UK within a convenient travel distance. The role features an excellent salary, benefits package, and an option scheme. This is a great chance to make your mark in a company focussed on improving people's lives.
    Another top job from ECM, the high-tech recruitment experts.
    Even if this job's not quite right, do contact us now - we may well have the ideal job for you. To discuss your requirements call ecm or email your CV. We will always ask before forwarding your CV.
    Please apply (quoting ref: CV27559) only if you are eligible to live and work in the UK. By submitting your details you certify that the information you provide is accurate

Maths for Cloud Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are applying for cloud computing jobs in the UK you might have noticed something frustrating: job descriptions rarely ask for “maths” directly yet interviews often drift into capacity, performance, reliability, cost or security trade-offs that are maths in practice. The good news is you do not need degree-level theory to be job-ready. For most roles like Cloud Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, SRE, Cloud Architect, FinOps Analyst or Cloud Security Engineer you keep coming back to a small set of practical skills: Units, rates & back-of-the-envelope estimation (requests per second, throughput, latency, storage growth) Statistics for reliability & observability (percentiles, error rates, SLOs, error budgets) Capacity planning & queueing intuition (utilisation, saturation, Little’s Law) Cost modelling & optimisation (right-sizing, break-even thinking, cost per transaction) Trade-off reasoning under constraints (performance vs cost vs reliability) This guide explains exactly what to learn plus a 6-week plan & portfolio projects you can publish to prove it.

Neurodiversity in Cloud Computing Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Cloud computing sits at the heart of modern tech. Almost every digital product runs on someone’s cloud platform – from banking apps & streaming services to AI tools & online shops. Behind those platforms are teams of cloud engineers, architects, SREs, security specialists & more. These roles demand problem-solvers who can think in systems, spot patterns, stay calm under pressure & imagine better ways to build & run infrastructure. That makes cloud computing a natural fit for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you are neurodivergent & considering a cloud career, you might have heard messages like “you’re too distracted for engineering”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for operations”. In reality, many traits that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia are exactly what cloud teams need. This guide is written for cloud computing job seekers in the UK. We will cover: What neurodiversity means in a cloud context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to cloud roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you should have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in cloud computing – & how to turn “different thinking” into a professional superpower.

Cloud Computing Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the cloud computing jobs market in the UK is shifting again. The era of “lift & shift everything to the cloud” is giving way to a more mature, cost-conscious & security-focused phase. Many organisations are tightening budgets, some are rationalising cloud spend, yet demand for strong cloud talent remains high – especially around multi-cloud, FinOps, cloud security, data platforms & AI on cloud. Vendors are racing to integrate generative AI into their offerings, enterprises are modernising legacy estates, & regulators are asking tougher questions about resilience, sovereignty & risk. At the same time, some roles are being automated or commoditised, & the bar for cloud roles keeps rising. Whether you are a cloud job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building cloud teams, understanding the key cloud computing hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
