How you can make a difference:
As Cloud Platform Lead, you own the end-to-end cloud infrastructure and platform strategy for Digital Health Solutions — Hamilton Medical's dedicated Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) business unit. The unit develops cloud-based applications including a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for critical care ventilation.
Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you are the single accountable owner for the Azure cloud environment: from day-to-day operations and incident response to long-term platform strategy, infrastructure-as-code foundations, security governance, and cost management. You work in a startup-like environment in close collaboration with the dev team with a high degree of autonomy and will be instrumental in maturing the platform as the products scales.
Your key responsibilities are:
Cloud Infrastructure & Operations
Own the Azure cloud environment end-to-end, including tenant administration, identity and access management (IAM), subscription governance, and resource organisation
Ensure platform reliability through proactive capacity planning, performance monitoring, incident response, and disaster recovery processes
Platform Engineering
Build and maintain reusable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) building blocks that enable engineering teams to ship reliably and safely
Define and enforce platform standards across environments (development, staging, production)
Platform Strategy & Roadmap
Own the cloud platform strategy and multi-quarter roadmap, aligning infrastructure evolution with product and business requirements
Communicate platform decisions and trade-offs clearly to a non-cloud-expert leadership team
Cloud Security & Compliance
Establish and maintain cloud infrastructure security standards in alignment with relevant frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2)
Govern the collaboration with the external virtual CISO (vCISO), ensuring accountability and follow-through on security requirements
Cost Management
Monitor, forecast, and optimise cloud spend; present cost reports and recommendations to leadership
That’s what you bring along:
Must-have
Proven hands-on experience owning Azure cloud infrastructure in a production environment (IAM, networking, compute, storage, monitoring)
Strong infrastructure-as-code skills
Ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment with minimal management overhead
Highly structured and analytical approach to problem-solving, with the ability to communicate clearly to non-technical stakeholders
Beneficial
Experience with cloud-based SaMD or regulated healthcare software environments
Familiarity with information security frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent
Experience engaging with external security partners (vCISO, pen-test providers, auditors)
Profile
Strong bias towards action — moves decisively in ambiguous environments rather than waiting for perfect information
Comfortable owning critical infrastructure and taking full accountability for outcomes
Self-starter who takes ownership and drives outcomes without being asked
Comfortable building structure and process from scratch in a startup-like setting
Communicates proactively and transparently with engineering peers and leadership alike
