Remote Backend Infrastructure Engineer

Description

Remote Backend Infrastructure Engineer

Shape the Future of Scalable Systemsโ€”From Anywhere

If solving infrastructure puzzles while sipping coffee in your favorite hoodie sounds like your kind of day, youโ€™re 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; weโ€™re 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 isnโ€™t 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 Youโ€™ll 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)

  • Youโ€™ve 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.
  • Youโ€™ve 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 youโ€™ve contributed to open-source projects or have a side-hustle cloud project you canโ€™t stop talking about.

Why Youโ€™ll Love It Here

  • Creative Autonomy: Your ideas arenโ€™t just welcomeโ€”they're expected.
  • Remote-First Culture: No cubicles, no clock-watching. Just results.
  • Real Impact: Youโ€™ll 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 letโ€™s reinvent backend engineering together.
