Job description

Job 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 Data Platform where data is both transformed for research and analysed by user projects within a Secure Data Environment (SDE). 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 within Informatics, helping to support researchers and clinicians to develop and implement exciting data analysis projects to personalise the treatment of patients.

Main duties of the job

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 Data Platform and its '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. 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.
