Summary
Barts Health is one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, and one of Britain’s leading healthcare providers. We are now recruiting a Lead Cloud Engineer into a new role to help maintain, operate and scale the cloud infrastructure that will support the Barts Health Secure Data Environment where data is both transformed for research and analysed by user projects. This is a role that will expose you to world-leading research relating to patient and health care data – implementing the NHS goal of using data to save lives. The Lead Cloud Engineer, will be part of the Precision Medicine team, helping to support researchers and clinicians to develop and implement exciting data analysis projects to personalise the treatment of patients. For more information on the programme see https://bartslifesciences.org/
The successful candidate will have:
• Extensive experience of working with cloud services ideally within the NHS, academia or in the private sector.
• Substantial experience in undertaking technical tasks around cloud engineering for data and compute infrastructure, and software deployment on a public cloud provider.
• Experience in leading the delivery of public cloud solutions (ideally Azure) as part of a team.
• Experience in using an agile methodology to deliver infrastructure integration projects within a distributed team.
• Demonstrable scripting or programming skills (e.g., Python, BASH, Terraform, GitHub, etc.).
We are being funded initially by Barts Charity to establish a precision medicine programme which will unleash the full research potential of NHS patient data while ensuring it is accessed responsibly, legally and ethically – with patient engagement from the outset.
We are using modern cloud technology to build the Barts Health ‘Secure Data Environment’ (SDE) containing Barts Health patient data that complies with all necessary security and governance requirements. The SDE will need to be adaptable and usable for a range of different users supporting a range of analysis activities. We will look to source components of our SDE from other open-source work taking place in the community (such as the Azure TRE project) and make the resulting work publicly available.
The main duties of the Lead Cloud Engineer are to identify, investigate, implement and manage the cloud computing services and data management systems that comprise the SDE. In addition, the Lead Cloud Engineer will plan, design and organize customizations of the SDE for researchers and clinicians to support approved projects by working with teams of contractors. You will be continually evaluating the suitability and integrating open-source software and services into the SDE as required while ensuring the security of patient data.
