Senior Software Engineer
About The Position
Courier Health is at an inflection point. We exist to get patients faster, better access to life-saving therapies, and every one of those patients depends on infrastructure that is reliable, secure, and ready to scale. The platform our engineers build on determines how quickly we can ship for our customers and how quickly patients feel it. This role owns that. You'll design, deploy, and evolve our serverless-first AWS platform (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge, AppSync, and Aurora) along with the multi-account architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and guardrails that let every engineer move fast and ship with confidence. It's a rare combination: deep technical ownership at an early-stage company, in a domain where the stakes are real. If you're motivated by the opportunity to have an outsized impact on not just your company, but the healthcare industry at large, this is the role.
Requirements
- 3–5 years of experience with public cloud infrastructure
- Deep expertise in AWS, including hands-on experience with serverless architectures (Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge) and container orchestration (EKS)
- Strong experience with Infrastructure as Code, particularly Terraform
- Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
- Familiarity with AWS Organizations, multi-account governance, and IAM Identity Center
- Proven ability to design, deploy, and monitor cloud infrastructure at scale
- Proficiency in at least one backend programming language
- You debate technical decisions constructively and advocate for the right solutions
- You work independently and take ownership without waiting to be asked while supporting engineers across multiple teams
- Motivated by our mission to improve healthcare through technology
- B.S. in Computer Science or a relevant field, or equivalent industry experience

Responsibilities

- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and broader developer platform that make compliant-by-default the path of least resistance for every engineer on the team.
