Founding Engineer, Infrastructure

Parambil • New York City, NY

16h • $160,000 - $200,000 • Onsite

About The Position

About Parambil We're building AI infrastructure for the $50B personal injury legal market. Every year, millions of injury cases move through the legal system. Attorneys spend weeks reviewing medical records - hundreds of pages per case - to find the critical details that determine case outcomes. It's time-intensive, expensive, and leaves room for human error. Parambil is solving this with AI. Our platform transforms medical record review from weeks of manual work into minutes of intelligent analysis. We help attorneys quickly identify key medical facts, surface case-critical details, and build stronger arguments for their clients. Our traction speaks for itself: 10x revenue and customer growth in the past year Trusted by leading personal injury law firms and major enterprises (including cruise lines) $8M raised from top-tier investors including Bling Capital, NVP, and Daybreak ($6M in our most recent round) Founded by veterans from McKinsey QuantumBlack, Yale/Stanford Medicine, and Emory CS Advised by post-exit CTOs and AI researchers We've found product-market fit and we're scaling fast. We're building the future of legal AI from our NYC office near Grand Central with a small, technical, and focused team. What We're Looking For We need our first dedicated infrastructure engineer - someone who will own our infrastructure, scale our systems, and ensure we can handle rapid growth without breaking. You'll also jump into TypeScript when needed, whether it's building internal tools, optimizing backend services, or helping ship features during critical moments. This is a rare opportunity to define infrastructure practices from the ground up at a fast-growing AI startup, working on challenges that span AWS architecture, deployment pipelines, observability, data infrastructure, security, and scalability. You'll work directly with our CTO and engineering team to build infrastructure that's reliable, secure, and enables the team to move fast.

Requirements

• Core infrastructure experience: 5+ years building and scaling production infrastructure
• Deep AWS expertise: EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, VPC, IAM, CloudWatch, load balancing, auto-scaling

• Production experience with CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
• Solid understanding of networking, security, and system architecture
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools (DataDog, CloudWatch, Grafana, or similar)
• Database operations and optimization experience (PostgreSQL preferred)
• Full-stack capabilities: Comfortable writing TypeScript - you can build internal tools, debug backend issues, and contribute to the application when needed
• Experience optimizing backend services for performance and reliability
• Understanding of modern web architecture: APIs, authentication, job queues, caching
• Able to work across the stack when the team needs help shipping
