[Remote] Infrastructure Engineer (Backend)
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Counsel Health is a startup focused on revolutionizing healthcare with AI-driven solutions. They are seeking a Backend Infrastructure Engineer who will work at the intersection of application code and infrastructure, contributing to CI/CD pipelines, maintaining cloud infrastructure, and enhancing developer experience.
Responsibilities
- Contribute to Our Infrastructure-as-Code: develop and maintain our cloud infrastructure using Terraform
- Build & Improve CI/CD: Own our build, test, and deployment pipelines end-to-end. Your goal is to make deploying to production boring — fast, reliable, and automatic
- Backend Engineering: Write production backend services and contribute to core server-side systems. You're comfortable writing application code, not just orchestrating it
- Build Core Archetypes: Write production grade archetypes for new deployments, jobs, consumers, and workers. You’re comfortable building out an abstract base stream consumer or cron executor for widespread use
- Developer Experience: Be the engineer who makes other engineers faster. Improve local dev workflows, reduce build times, eliminate flaky infrastructure, and build internal tooling that the team actually wants to use
- Security & 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 hybrid of both
- Strong proficiency in at least one strongly-typed or compiled language (Go, Rust, Java, Typed Python, TypeScript, etc.)
- Experience with AWS/GCP/Azure cloud services
- Familiarity with containerized environments and Docker
- Hands-on experience writing and maintaining Terraform (or equivalent IaC tooling)
- Proven 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.) -- strong plus!
