Cloud Platform Lead 80 - 100 % (f/m/d)

For more than 40 years, Hamilton Medical has shaped the future of mechanical ventilation. We develop Intelligent Ventilation solutions that support clinicians in critical moments. Our Hamilton ventilators are used in intensive care units, during emergency transport, and in MRI environments. They help medical teams care for adult, pediatric, and neonatal patients worldwide. Here, your work has real impact. Every improvement you make supports better respiratory care for patients around the globe.

How you can make a difference:

As Cloud Platform Lead, you own the end-to-end cloud infrastructure and platform strategy for Digital Health Solutions — Hamilton Medical's dedicated Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) business unit. The unit develops cloud-based applications including a Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) for critical care ventilation.

Reporting to the Head of Engineering, you are the single accountable owner for the Azure cloud environment: from day-to-day operations and incident response to long-term platform strategy, infrastructure-as-code foundations, security governance, and cost management. You work in a startup-like environment in close collaboration with the dev team with a high degree of autonomy and will be instrumental in maturing the platform as the products scales.

Your key responsibilities are:

Cloud Infrastructure & Operations

• Own the Azure cloud environment end-to-end, including tenant administration, identity and access management (IAM), subscription governance, and resource organisation
• Ensure platform reliability through proactive capacity planning, performance monitoring, incident response, and disaster recovery processes

Platform Engineering

• Build and maintain reusable infrastructure-as-code (IaC) building blocks that enable engineering teams to ship reliably and safely
• Define and enforce platform standards across environments (development, staging, production)

Platform Strategy & Roadmap

• Own the cloud platform strategy and multi-quarter roadmap, aligning infrastructure evolution with product and business requirements
• Communicate platform decisions and trade-offs clearly to a non-cloud-expert leadership team

Cloud Security & Compliance

• Establish and maintain cloud infrastructure security standards in alignment with relevant frameworks (ISO 27001, SOC 2)
• Govern the collaboration with the external virtual CISO (vCISO), ensuring accountability and follow-through on security requirements

Cost Management

• Monitor, forecast, and optimise cloud spend; present cost reports and recommendations to leadership

That’s what you bring along:

Must-have

• Proven hands-on experience owning Azure cloud infrastructure in a production environment (IAM, networking, compute, storage, monitoring)
• Strong infrastructure-as-code skills
• Ability to work autonomously in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment with minimal management overhead
• Highly structured and analytical approach to problem-solving, with the ability to communicate clearly to non-technical stakeholders

Beneficial

• Experience with cloud-based SaMD or regulated healthcare software environments
• Familiarity with information security frameworks: ISO 27001, SOC 2, or equivalent
• Experience engaging with external security partners (vCISO, pen-test providers, auditors)

Profile

• Strong bias towards action — moves decisively in ambiguous environments rather than waiting for perfect information
• Comfortable owning critical infrastructure and taking full accountability for outcomes
• Self-starter who takes ownership and drives outcomes without being asked
• Comfortable building structure and process from scratch in a startup-like setting
• Communicates proactively and transparently with engineering peers and leadership alike
