About the job
About the Role
At Counsel Health, we have developed an innovative product that has garnered admiration from both patients and physicians, utilizing a fast-paced technology stack. As we continue to grow, the complexity between our application code and infrastructure is expanding. We are seeking a talented individual who thrives in this dynamic intersection.
We are in search of a Backend Infrastructure Engineer who embodies both software engineering and infrastructure expertise. This role is not about working in isolation writing Terraform scripts all day or solely delivering product features in React. Instead, you will work within the essential layer that connects our CI/CD pipelines, Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for our AWS environment, backend services, and the developer tools that empower our rapidly expanding engineering team.
Your Responsibilities
Enhance Our Infrastructure-as-Code: Design and manage our cloud infrastructure utilizing Terraform.
Optimize CI/CD Processes: Take ownership of our build, test, and deployment pipelines from start to finish. Aim to make production deployments effortless, speedy, reliable, and automated.
Backend Development: Create production-level backend services and contribute to our core server-side systems. You are proficient in writing application code, not just orchestrating it.
Create Core Archetypes: Develop production-grade archetypes for new deployments, jobs, consumers, and workers. You are adept at building an abstract base stream consumer or cron executor for widespread application.
Enhance Developer Experience: Act as the engineer who accelerates the productivity of other engineers. Streamline local development workflows, decrease build times, resolve flaky infrastructure issues, and create internal tools that the team genuinely values.
Security & Compliance: Collaborate closely with our security and compliance team to strengthen our infrastructure security posture, including secrets management, IAM policies, network isolation, and audit logging in a HIPAA-compliant environment.
Who You Are
A Bridge Builder: You feel at home in an IDE crafting application code as well as in a terminal managing cloud infrastructure. You view backend and infrastructure as intertwined disciplines.
An Automation Advocate: If a task is done manually more than twice, you are already scripting it for automation.
A Systems Thinker: You comprehend how a request traverses through various systems and how they interact.
