## About the role

At Counsel, we've built a product that patients and physicians love, on a fast-moving stack. As we scale, the line between "application code" and "infrastructure" keeps blurring and we need someone who lives right at that intersection.

## What they're looking for

- 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
