A bit about us

We’re Doccla, the virtual ward company. We provide patients and clinicians with the transformative power of remote patient monitoring.

Our existing customers are Hospitals, Community Services, and NHS Commissioners that we partner with to deliver tech enabled virtual wards. With our technology, logistics, and support patients can be discharged from a hospital ward to a virtual one and recover in the comfort of their own homes. Patients love our care pathways and health services become more efficient; it’s a win-win.

We are a young company with big aims and a lot of momentum. In the summer of 2022 we raised $18M in an oversubscribed A round led by General Catalyst, a top tier global VC fund and have gone from strength to strength since: we’ve won a series of large multiyear NHS contracts, extended 100% of our existing client contracts.

This is your chance to join us at a key stage of our growth. Our ambition is to be a category leader for virtual healthcare. You will be joining a highly entrepreneurial team that combines technical, clinical, operational, and commercial colleagues.

We're solving real problems for patients and health systems. we’re looking for dedicated people with a passion for healthcare.

Platform Cloud Migration Contractor

Doccla is looking for an experienced cloud platform developer for an immediate start to assist with a short-term project to migrate various existing workloads from a Microsoft Azure setup to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Our current platform is a mixture of microservices, written in various languages, which use a variety of self-hosted data storage and event streaming technologies for data persistence (mainly Postgres, Kafka and Redis, with some CockroachDB). We want to consolidate these services onto GCP, adopting hosted infrastructure for all dependencies and migrating the data hosted in CockroachDB to Postgres.

The ideal candidate must already have experience with Google Cloud Platform, in particular with the full lifecycle of Kubernetes services hosted in Google Kubernetes Engine, and with modern declarative cloud infrastructure practices, such as Continuous Delivery tooling and Infrastructure as Code.

Duration: we expect this project to take no more than 8 weeks to complete.

Working hours: normally UK business hours (8 hours per day). A small amount of work is expected outside normal business hours, at times agreed with the business, when the production stack is migrated, which cannot be migrated during working hours if any downtime will be incurred.

Required skills and experience:

  • Experience building and operating large cloud-native production applications in Google Cloud Platform, using Google Kubernetes Engine.
  • Comfortable writing idiomatic, easily understandable Terraform code to build and configure infrastructure, sometimes using Terragrunt as a wrapper to execute it.
  • Knowledge of ArgoCD and GitOps patterns for deploying software.
  • Understanding of modern practices regarding cloud-native security (such as zero trust) and have demonstrated experience implementing this in your work.
  • Good knowledge of cloud networking principles, particularly building secure ingress to services running in Kubernetes and managing lateral flow of information between services. We expect you to be able to hold your own across layers 3 to 7 of the stack.
  • Good knowledge of modern observability practices and the ability to integrate with these to provide visibility into the health of our stack. We’re using Datadog currently, and will move to Grafana Cloud soon.

Nice to haves:

  • Experience working in a regulated environment, whether healthcare or otherwise.
  • Knowledge or experience working with Aiven’s data hosting platform.
  • Knowledge or experience working with Terraform CI/CD tools. We use Spacelift.
