About TORTUS At TORTUS we work with clinicians and hospitals to provide clinically safe and reliable AI. We use a combination of speech-to-text and LLM models to infer information about your visit with a clinician (GP, Paramedic, Surgery), and provide verified documentation and actions. Fundamentally, we are on a mission to eliminate human error in medicine. We've been doing this for the last 2 years, and 2025 saw our biggest increase in usage to date as we rolled out to a large proportion of UK GP surgeries and to London Ambulance and other notable organisations. We have made smart decisions early, which have helped us reach this point. As we look to 2026, we are striving for even more growth with more smart decisions. Todo that we need more of the right people working on difficult and exciting problems. What we're looking for Deep Kubernetes and production infrastructure expertise. If you've built, scaled, and operated critical systems in Kubernetes at production scale. We need someone who instinctively knows how to make systems reliable, observable, and maintainable. What else would be great 5 years of DevOps/Infrastructure experience IaC / GitOps (Terraform, ArgoCD) Microservice architecture patterns Event-based systems and queues Databases & memory stores (PostgreSQL, Redis) Monitoring & observability At least one programming language (we're not fussy) What does wild success look like? In 12-18 months, you've transformed our infrastructure reliability. Clinicians trust that TORTUS is there when they need it most. You've built robust observability that catches issues before they impact users. Our deployment pipeline is a thing of beauty - fast, safe, and boring in the best way. You've established patterns and practices that scale with us as we grow from dozens of trusts to hundreds. Where does this role take you? This is a foundational role in a company at an inflection point. Excel here and you'll shape how we scale to serve the NHS at national level. You could grow into leading our entire infrastructure function, or specialise deeper into security, platform engineering, or SRE leadership. We're building something that genuinely matters - your impact will be on systems that help clinicians care for millions of patients.
