1What this role really is

You'll be a key player in building and looking after the nuts and bolts of our telemedicine platform. This isn't just about writing code; it's about making sure doctors can actually connect with patients, securely and reliably. You'll tackle specific features and make sure they work, from the first line of code to seeing it live in production. It’s a hands-on role where you'll get to see your work make a real difference, but also where you'll face some tricky problems.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

AWS (EC2, S3, RDS, Lambda, IAM)Intermediate

Deploying and managing EC2 instances, configuring S3 buckets for storage, setting up basic RDS databases, and understanding existing IAM policies for access control. You'll be using the console and CLI.

Twilio Video / Vonage APIIntermediate

Implementing front-end and back-end logic to initiate and manage video rooms, publish and subscribe to media tracks, and handle connection events using their SDKs. You'll be making sure video calls actually work.

JSON/REST APIsAdvanced

Designing, building, and consuming RESTful APIs, ensuring they are well-documented, secure, and performant. You'll be the person making sure our services can talk to each other and to external partners.

DockerIntermediate

Writing Dockerfiles for our applications, running containers locally for development and testing, and understanding how to build and push images to a registry. You'll be containerising our services.

Python (Django/Flask) / Node.js (Express)Advanced

Developing and maintaining API endpoints, implementing complex business logic, designing database schemas (typically PostgreSQL), and writing comprehensive unit and integration tests for our backend services.

Datadog / New RelicIntermediate

Using dashboards to monitor application health, setting up custom alerts for specific metrics, and using APM (Application Performance Monitoring) to trace and resolve performance bottlenecks. You'll be our eyes and ears on the platform.

Kubernetes (e.g., EKS)Basic

Deploying and managing applications on our existing Kubernetes clusters (likely EKS). You'll be writing Helm charts and debugging basic pod/service issues, understanding the fundamentals of how our services run in production.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Technical Implementation Strategy for a FeatureProposes options, requires approval from Senior Engineer.Chooses implementation approach for routine features, consults Senior Engineer for complex ones. Owns the 'how'.Defines implementation strategy for complex features, reviews and approves mid-level engineer's plans.
Incident Response & ResolutionFollows runbooks, escalates to Senior Engineer for anything beyond basic troubleshooting.Independently diagnoses and resolves routine P2/P3 incidents, escalates P1s and novel P2s. Leads the fix for issues they own.Leads P1 incident response, defines recovery strategies, and makes critical decisions under pressure.
Architectural ChangesIdentifies potential issues, suggests small improvements, requires full review.Proposes minor architectural improvements within existing services, requires review and approval from Senior Engineer/Lead.Designs and leads significant architectural changes for workstreams, gets buy-in from Lead/Staff Engineer.
Tool/Library SelectionSuggests tools, needs approval.Evaluates and recommends new libraries or minor tools for specific tasks, with review by Senior Engineer.Selects and vets major libraries or tools for workstreams, considering long-term impact and maintenance.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Platform Uptime for Owned Services
The percentage of time the services or features you're responsible for are available and working as expected.
Target · Maintain 99.9% availability on services you own or significantly contribute to.

If you're looking after the video call initiation service, we'd expect it to be up and running 99.9% of the time, meaning less than 45 minutes of downtime per month.

Assigned Ticket Resolution Rate
The proportion of incident or bug tickets assigned to you that are resolved within the agreed-upon sprint or SLA timeframe.
Target · Resolve 90% of assigned incident or bug tickets within the sprint cycle.

If you're assigned 10 bug tickets in a sprint, we'd expect 9 of them to be closed out by the end of that sprint.

Code Quality & Review Feedback
The number of significant issues or rejections on your pull requests (PRs) during code review, indicating the quality and adherence to standards of your submitted code.
Target · Fewer than 5% of your pull requests rejected for significant architectural, security, or quality issues.

If you submit 20 PRs in a quarter, we'd expect no more than one to be sent back for a major rework due to a security flaw or a fundamental design problem.

Security Vulnerability Remediation
How quickly you address and fix security vulnerabilities identified in the code or services you've built.
Target · Resolve 100% of critical security vulnerabilities within 24 hours and high vulnerabilities within 72 hours.

A critical vulnerability found in your API endpoint would need to be patched and deployed within a day, no exceptions.

Proactive Problem Identification
The ability to spot potential issues (performance bottlenecks, security gaps, compliance risks) before they become major problems, rather than just reacting to incidents.
  • You're bringing up concerns in stand-ups, suggesting improvements in code reviews, or setting up new monitoring alerts for things you've noticed could go wrong. You might flag a potential issue with a third-party API before it impacts users.
Effective Collaboration & Communication
How well you work with other teams (Product, QA, Support) and communicate technical concepts clearly, especially when troubleshooting or explaining trade-offs.
  • Product managers tell us you're easy to work with. You can explain a complex technical issue to a non-technical person without them glazing over. You proactively share updates on your work and ask for help when you're stuck, instead of going quiet.
Adherence to Healthcare Standards
Consistently applying FHIR, HL7, and HIPAA/HITECH principles in your designs and code, ensuring patient data is always handled correctly and securely.
  • Your code reviews rarely flag compliance issues. You can explain why a certain data field needs to be encrypted or why we need a BAA for a new vendor. You build features with patient privacy front and centre, not as an afterthought.
Quality of Documentation
Producing clear, concise, and up-to-date documentation for the services and features you build, making it easier for others to understand and maintain your work.
  • Other engineers can pick up your service and understand how it works without needing to ask you a dozen questions. Your API endpoints are well-documented, and your READMEs are actually helpful. Future-you (and everyone else) will thank you.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Real-World Impact

You get a buzz from knowing your code directly helps people access healthcare. Seeing a doctor connect with a patient because of the platform you helped build is incredibly rewarding.

You've just fixed a tricky bug in the video streaming, and you see a tweet from a patient thanking us for a seamless virtual appointment. That's your motivation right there.

Tackling Complex Technical Challenges

You enjoy wrestling with hard problems like optimising WebRTC for patchy connections or integrating with ancient hospital systems. The harder the puzzle, the more engaged you are.

Spending an afternoon debugging why a specific firewall configuration is blocking a video stream, and finally figuring out the obscure network setting that fixes it. That's a good day for you.

Building Secure & Reliable Systems

You're driven by the responsibility of protecting sensitive patient data and ensuring the platform is always available. You find satisfaction in building systems that are robust and trustworthy.

Successfully implementing a new encryption standard for data at rest, knowing that you've just made our patient data even safer. That sense of guardianship is a strong motivator.

What frustrates people
  • Debugging a clinician's terrible hospital Wi-Fi connection from a thousand miles away and being told the 'platform is down' because of it.
  • The soul-crushing process of integrating with a hospital's 20-year-old EMR that barely supports a non-standard version of HL7v2. It's like trying to talk to a dinosaur.
  • The constant tension between the product team's desire for 'delightful UI' and the security team's mandate for 'zero-trust architecture'. You're often stuck in the middle.
  • Explaining to executives why adding a 'simple' chat feature requires a three-month review of data retention policies, BAA verification, and a full threat model analysis. It's rarely 'simple'.
  • The sheer paranoia induced by knowing every line of code you write is subject to HIPAA audits and could potentially handle the medical data of millions. It's a heavy burden.
  • Receiving a P1 alert at 3 AM because a third-party e-prescription service went down, but everyone blames your platform first.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely greenfield development environment with no legacy code to touch.
  • A role where security and compliance are 'someone else's problem'.
  • A 9-to-5 job with no on-call responsibilities or urgent incident responses.
  • The ability to ship features without rigorous testing, security reviews, and compliance checks.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts the reliability and functionality of our core telemedicine services. Your work ensures that our platform is stable, secure, and performant, which in turn drives patient and provider satisfaction. Essentially, you're building the foundation that allows our business to deliver on its promise of accessible healthcare. If the platform isn't working, neither are we.

Inside the business
  • Product Managers (who define what we build)
  • QA Engineers (who break what you build, in a good way)
  • Security & Compliance Team (who make sure we don't end up in court)
  • Customer Support (who deal with users when things go wrong)
  • Clinical Operations (who actually use the platform day-to-day)
Outside the business
  • Healthcare Providers (doctors, nurses)
  • Patients (our ultimate users)
  • Third-party API providers (e.g., Twilio, EMR vendors)
  • Regulators (like the ICO for data privacy)

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2-5 years of hands-on experience in backend software development, ideally with a focus on API-driven services.
  • Proven experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred) and a good grasp of cloud-native principles.
  • Demonstrable experience with containerisation (Docker) and some exposure to orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • A solid understanding of database concepts, particularly relational databases like PostgreSQL, and writing efficient SQL queries.
  • Experience working in an Agile development environment (Scrum, Kanban) with a focus on iterative delivery.
  • A genuine interest in healthcare technology and a desire to make a positive impact on patient care.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Cloud Cost Optimisation (FinOps)

As our platform grows, cloud costs can quickly spiral. Understanding how to design and operate services efficiently in AWS (or other clouds) to reduce spend without compromising performance or reliability will become a critical skill.

Right-Sizing Instances · Reserved Instances & Savings Plans · Serverless Cost Models · Cost Allocation Tagging

  • This month: Review the AWS Cost Explorer for services you own. Identify the biggest cost drivers.
  • Next month: Research and propose one small change to reduce costs for a service, e.g., using a cheaper S3 storage class.
  • Month 3: Attend an AWS FinOps webinar or online course.
  • Month 4: Present a 'cost-saving idea' to your team.

Quick win: Check the 'idle resources' report in your AWS account and see if you can safely terminate anything. Low-hanging fruit, usually.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly contributing to open-source projects, especially those related to healthcare interoperability (FHIR) or real-time communication (WebRTC).
  • Attending industry conferences (e.g., AWS re:Invent, KubeCon, HLTH) or local meetups to stay current with trends and network.
  • Completing online courses or certifications in advanced cloud architecture, cybersecurity, or specific healthcare standards.
  • Writing technical blog posts or giving internal presentations on new technologies or best practices you've explored.
  • Mentoring junior engineers or participating in internal knowledge-sharing sessions.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: Prompt Engineering & LLM Integration for Healthcare

Competitors are already using AI to draft clinical summaries, analyse patient feedback, and even assist with coding. Engineers who can effectively 'talk' to Large Language Models (LLMs) and integrate them into our platform will be significantly more productive and innovative. This isn't future-gazing; it's happening now.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Telemedicine Platform Engineer is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of engineering work can be repetitive or time-consuming. Imagine if you could offload some of that grunt work and focus on the really interesting, complex problems. Well, you can. We're investing heavily in AI tools to help our engineers work smarter, not just harder.

For a Telemedicine Platform Engineer, this means less time sifting through endless logs, less time manually researching compliance rules, and more time actually building robust, secure features. We're already seeing engineers reclaim significant chunks of their week by letting AI handle the more tedious bits. Here's a glimpse of how you'll be using AI day-to-day:

AI-Powered Log Anomaly Detection

Instead of manually scanning terabytes of application and system logs, an AI tool will automatically flag subtle patterns that indicate a potential security breach or system failure, often before they trigger traditional alerts. It's like having a super-sleuth watching your logs 24/7.

Predictive Video Quality Monitoring

You'll use machine learning models that analyse real-time network data (like jitter, packet loss, and latency) to predict which live video sessions are likely to experience poor quality. This means we can proactively alert support or even attempt automated fixes, reducing reactive firefighting.

Compliance Research Assistant

Imagine asking a chatbot a complex question about HIPAA or internal data retention policies and getting an instant, context-aware answer. We use fine-tuned LLMs (Large Language Models) trained on all our regulatory documents, saving you days of sifting through dense legal texts and internal wikis.

Automated Post-Mortem Generation

After a production incident, an AI tool will synthesise all the data—Datadog alerts, PagerDuty timelines, Slack conversations, Jira tickets—into a structured first draft of a 'blameless post-mortem' report. This includes a timeline and suggested action items, dramatically speeding up our learning cycle.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Telemedicine Platform Engineer, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Telemedicine Platform Engineer: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.
