Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Counsel Health is on a mission to revolutionize healthcare with AI-driven solutions. They are seeking a Backend Infrastructure Engineer who will bridge the gap between application code and infrastructure, focusing on CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure, and backend services to support their innovative healthcare platform.
Responsibilities
- Shape our infrastructure-as-code. Develop and maintain our cloud infrastructure using Terraform
- Build and improve CI/CD. Own our build, test, and deployment pipelines end to end. Your goal is to make deploying to production boring; fast, reliable, automatic
- Write real backend code. Contribute production backend services and core server-side systems. You write application code, rather than simply orchestrating it
- Build our core archetypes. Create production-grade patterns for new deployments, jobs, consumers, and workers. Think: an abstract base stream consumer or cron executor built for reuse across the team
- Make other engineers faster. Improve local dev workflows, cut build times, kill flaky infrastructure, and build the internal tools people actually want to use
- Strengthen security and compliance. Work closely with our security and compliance team to harden our infrastructure posture — secrets management, IAM policies, network isolation, and audit logging in a HIPAA-regulated environment
Skills
- 3–5 years of professional experience in backend engineering, infrastructure engineering, or a mix of both
- Strong proficiency in at least one strongly-typed or compiled language (Go, Rust, Java, Typed Python, TypeScript, etc.)
- Experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure cloud services
- Familiarity with containerized environments and Docker
- Just as comfortable in an IDE writing application code as in a terminal managing cloud infrastructure, because backend and infra aren't separate disciplines to you
- Already scripting the fix by the third time you'd otherwise have to do something manually
- Understands how a request travels from a user's browser through a load balancer, into a container, to a database, and back, and can debug any layer along the way
- Reaches for the right tool over the trendy one and would rather ship something working today than architect something perfect next quarter
- Can explain infrastructure decisions to product engineers and translate product requirements into infrastructure changes
- Hands-on experience writing and maintaining Terraform (or equivalent IaC tooling)
- A track record building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, CircleCI, or similar)
- Kubernetes experience
- Experience with TypeScript/Node.js
- Experience working in a regulated environment (HIPAA, SOC 2, etc.)
Benefits
- Comprehensive healthcare, vision + dental
