Senior Cloud Engineer

At [Employer], we're creating space for care by developing and improving digital healthcare applications that make a real difference in people's lives through several applications. From [Employer] Thuismeten, which helps healthcare professionals monitor patients remotely, to OMRON Connect, connecting millions of people with their health data through OMRON devices, and other applications that expand the possibilities of digital healthcare.

Together with healthcare professionals and partners around the world, we're working towards a future where people receive the right care in the right place. As our Senior Cloud Engineer, you'll help shape and modernise the cloud infrastructure behind these applications, building a reliable, scalable and future-proof foundation for millions of users worldwide.

Our applications have different histories, architectures and technical challenges. OMRON Connect, for example, runs on an AWS backend serving several million monthly active users. Parts of its infrastructure still carry legacy, including manual processes, scattered knowledge, inconsistent observability and release processes that make changes slower and riskier than they should be.

We're working towards a more consistent engineering foundation across our applications. Think Infrastructure as Code, cloud-native and event-driven architecture where it adds value, safe continuous deployment and observability by default. We're bringing more senior engineering expertise in-house to turn that ambition into concrete technical decisions, shared standards and a roadmap our teams can own. And that's where you come in 😉

Your role

You will work across our engineering teams, helping shape the cloud infrastructure behind our digital healthcare applications. Your focus will be on making the right architectural decisions, modernising existing platforms and enabling teams to independently build, maintain and improve their systems.

This isn't a greenfield architecture exercise. You will be improving live healthcare platforms while balancing technical improvements with product delivery, security, regulatory requirements and the realities of working with stakeholders across different countries, including the Netherlands and Japan.

What you will be doing, among others:

• Own and evolve the Cloud & Backend roadmap, translating the engineering vision into clear priorities, trade-offs and next steps.
• Drive cross-team architecture decisions to a close, making sure decisions are transparent, documented and followed through.
• Establish shared technical standards and guardrails that allow teams to work autonomously without creating unnecessary dependencies.
• Work hands-on with engineers on AWS and Terraform, reviewing designs and pull requests and challenging technical choices where needed.
• Coach and pair with engineers, helping knowledge spread across teams and supporting the growth of seniority and ownership.
• Work with product owners, QA, engineering leadership and colleagues in Japan to balance technical direction with product, regulatory, security and cost considerations.
• Help move the platform towards automated infrastructure, safer deployments and stronger observability without relying on a big-bang rewrite.

The responsibilities outlined above reflect how we currently envision this role. As we continue to grow and evolve, the scope and focus of the position may naturally change, influenced by your own ideas and insights. The way we work is built around the belief that everyone's input matters. If you see opportunities to improve the way we do things, or believe a process could be designed differently to achieve a better outcome, we encourage you to bring those ideas forward. Discuss them with your teammates, challenge the status quo, and help shape how we move forward together.

The ideal candidate…

… probably doesn't exist, but if you can tick most of the checkboxes below, please apply! We are looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership of complex technical challenges, makes pragmatic engineering decisions, and is excited about helping others succeed along the way.

You know when to step up, when to involve colleagues and when to move forward decisively. Working independently does not mean working in isolation for you. You feel at ease being both a self-starter and a committed team player, contributing to shared goals while taking responsibility for your own domain. You value open communication, transparency, and mutual trust.

• You have at least 5+ years of experience in cloud/backend engineering and multiple years of hands-on experience with AWS and Terraform (Infrastructure as Code).
• You are comfortable reviewing designs and pull requests. Experience with serverless and event-driven architectures is very valuable. All combined with experience in serverless AWS, Node.js/TypeScript tech stacks.
• You actively coach, pair, review and share knowledge, with a focus on building ownership and seniority across the teams around you.
• You understand what matters: the importance of making pragmatic technical choices within clear security, compliance and regulatory boundaries.
• You are open to working in a Holacratic organization and curious about our way of organizing work, roles, and responsibilities;
• English is our primary language for all internal communication at [Employer], so you're fluent in that language.
