Cure Talent is delighted to be supporting an innovative UK based life sciences and medical technology company developing next generation diagnostic technology. As the business continues to scale its platform, systems, and infrastructure, they are now looking to appoint a Systems & Security Engineer to take ownership of internal security, cloud infrastructure, and monitoring capabilities (remote first working arrangement, with a few days per month in Bristol).
This is a hands-on role within a growing organisation, offering broad exposure across Linux based systems, cloud and on prem infrastructure, security tooling, and internal IT. You will play a key role in owning day to day security monitoring and infrastructure operations, while maintaining the agility required in a fast paced, regulated environment.
Key responsibilities:

Take ownership of day-to-day security monitoring, including investigating alerts, manual monitoring, and incident response
Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve Linux OS level issues across servers and infrastructure
Maintain, improve, and secure cloud and internal infrastructure, including monitoring, patching, automation, and hardening
Manage a mix of on prem and cloud infrastructure in a cloud agnostic environment, rather than relying on a single provider
Develop and maintain internal tooling, scripts, and dashboards to support auditing, monitoring, and reliability
We’re looking for a Systems & Security Engineer with:
Strong hands-on Linux experience, including OS level troubleshooting and system administration
Proven experience owning systems administration, infrastructure, and security responsibilities in a hands-on role
Experience managing cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP, alongside on prem systems
Solid understanding of security fundamentals including access control, monitoring, vulnerability management, and incident response
Scripting or automation experience using tools such as Python, Bash, or PowerShell
Desirable experience includes exposure to endpoint management or security tooling such as Microsoft Intune, CrowdStrike, or Wazuh, as well as experience working in startup, scale up, or regulated environments, though this is not essential.
If you’re a hands-on systems or infrastructure engineer with a strong interest in security, looking for a role with genuine ownership and impact in a growing MedTech business, we’d love to hear from you

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
