Are you passionate about managing teams that build, own, and operate massively scalable systems? Do you have experience in building new teams and managing existing teams? 


In Platform, our mission is to provide Babylon Engineers with a global platform that has an unrivalled developer experience. These are exciting times - we provide tools and APIs to build the next generation of digital healthcare products at a pace that’s unprecedented in the healthcare industry.  


We are building a world class enterprise API platform for use by its developer community using a mix of best of breed solutions and custom development as required. Internal users will rely on the API platform to take a “Design First”, self service approach to creating API contracts using the latest API technologies such as GraphQL, OAS3 and JSON Schema which will then drive the rest of the process and toolchain to accelerate and automate the creation of mocking, testing, and documentation services for Babylon’s API estate. The goal is for developers to be able to rely on the Babylon API “platform aaS” to help them achieve their deliverables with minimum toil.


In addition, Babylon’s API “platform aaS” will deliver a collaborative governance framework for allowing all of the cross cutting teams to ensure that the APIs are consistent, secure, compliant, and performant throughout the API lifecycle.  


We’re looking for a Site Reliability Engineer with expertise, ambition, and passion for rapidly building and releasing global software products. As an SRE, you will help make our platform easier to build, test, deploy and more performant and reliable. We are launching Babylon across the globe and need to deal with the challenges of multiple regions and scale. 


You will help our team develop and evolve scalable, well tested, and maintainable APIs, applications / microservices. Our microservices are written in Java with some parts of the system in Ruby. We are evolving a GraphQL API layer written in Typescript and implementing Apollo federation. You are well versed with DDD, BDD and TDD and must be able to translate requirements into design and specs and create maintainable applications that are easily accessible to other engineers. You bring with you experience of working with and building well designed APIs. You naturally work in an agile way to produce high quality software that solves real problems simply and elegantly.  


You embrace platform thinking, continuous integration, and test driven development. You will uphold or set the standard for engineering excellence partnering with architects, and a team of highly skilled software engineers who are creating and evolving the platform that will let us rapidly engineer at scale. You are extremely ambitious about applying devops principles to your work across the full technology stack. 


You understand how to continuously deliver and iterate on foundational platform software and APIs, as well as incrementally migrate existing services and API features to a new API gateway. You will be comfortable making technical tradeoffs, and fast decisions whilst learning and adapting.
