This is an exciting time to join the UK’s largest private healthcare telemedicine company based in Hastings, East Sussex, who are expanding their IT Team due to organic growth.

Joining a dynamic team focusing on supporting Medica’s transition to a cloud‑native technology landscape.

Working across Medica’s cloud‑native platforms—from container orchestration and networking to identity and monitoring—you’ll develop observability capabilities and support reliable deployment workflows. You’ll troubleshoot infrastructure and pipeline issues, embed security and compliance controls, and contribute to incident response and continual improvement.
