Remote Backend Infrastructure Engineer
Description
Remote Backend Infrastructure Engineer
Shape the Future of Scalable SystemsโFrom Anywhere
If solving infrastructure puzzles while sipping coffee in your favorite hoodie sounds like your kind of day, youโre in the right place. Our mission? Simple: reimagine how backend systems can scale globally without breaking a sweat. We're seeking a Remote Backend Infrastructure Engineer to join a team that thrives on experimentation, elegance in design, and purposeful engineering. Here, we're not just building tech; weโre building the kind of infrastructure that other developers whisper about at meetups.
Our Journey: Innovation Meets Impact
What started as a two-person dream in a co-working space has become a remote-first engineering powerhouse. We've architected systems that power next-gen applications and real-time platforms that never sleep. Think millions of users, zero downtime, and one wildly passionate team. We believe backend infrastructure isnโt just about "what works"; it's about what scales, survives, and stuns. If cloud-native frameworks, CI/CD wizardry, and resilient microservices get your gears turning, this might just be your next great adventure.
What You'll Be Doing (Besides Breaking the Internet โ In a Good Way)
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable backend systems that serve global audiences with ease.
- Develop infrastructure-as-code pipelines using tools like Terraform, Pulumi, or your favorite flavor of cloud automation.
- Champion container orchestration (Docker + Kubernetes = your comfort zone).
- Optimize system performance, reduce latency, and diagnose backend bottlenecks faster than a speeding packet.
- Collaborate with DevOps, product, and security teams to ensure an iron-clad, yet flexible backend environment.
- Write elegant code and cleaner documentation (yes, we said it โ clean docs are sexy).
Life in the Remote Lane
We're a fully remote, fully trusted, and fully committed team dedicated to building a workplace where you can thrive. Whether you're based in a bustling city or a cabin in the woods with top-tier Wi-Fi, you're part of the team. We host virtual offsites (yes, those are a thing), spontaneous GIF battles, and asynchronous brainstorms that actually lead to action.
The Tech Youโll Touch
- Cloud Platforms: AWS, GCP, Azure (We love a good multi-cloud dance)
- Languages: Go, Python, Rust, TypeScript (pick your poison, but love it deeply)
- Tools: Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI/CD, Prometheus, Grafana, PostgreSQL, Redis, Kafka
- Monitoring: Cloud-native observability and APM tools that speak your language
- Security: Zero Trust, Identity Access Management, container hardening best practices
Who You Are (Besides Awesome)
- Youโve got 4+ years of experience in backend infrastructure engineering (and the scars to prove it).
- You're fluent in infrastructure design, container orchestration, and automating your way out of manual misery.
- You understand the art and science of scaling systems across distributed environments.
- Youโve worked in agile environments and still have a sense of humor.
- You're not just technically sharp; you're also a natural collaborator, eager to elevate the team.
- Bonus points if youโve contributed to open-source projects or have a side-hustle cloud project you canโt stop talking about.
Why Youโll Love It Here
- Creative Autonomy: Your ideas arenโt just welcomeโthey're expected.
- Remote-First Culture: No cubicles, no clock-watching. Just results.
- Real Impact: Youโll architect systems that touch real users in real time, every single day.
- Supportive Growth: Whether you want to lead a team, dive deeper into security, or master new stacks, we invest in your path.
- Salary: $147,660 annually, plus performance bonuses, remote perks, and gear of your choice.
Ready to Engineer the Unthinkable?
We're not looking for someone to "fill a role." We're searching for a curious mind, a system whisperer, a backend architect with a rebel's soul. If you're ready to build world-class infrastructure while working remotely on your terms, let's make it happen.
Apply now and letโs reinvent backend engineering together.
