Senior Backend & Infrastructure Engineer

TL;DR

• EVERYMAN is scaling and looking for a Senior Backend & Infrastructure Engineer to own and harden the systems powering its digital-first healthcare platform
• You will improve infrastructure, security, observability, and backend architecture across a modern TypeScript/Node.js stack
• The role is ideal for a high-agency engineer with production experience of smaller-than-Google-scale systems — CI/CD, security, networking, containers, and databases
• You will join a small, fast-moving team of experienced builders focused on scalable, high-quality health outcomes with thoughtful use of LLMs

About Us

EVERYMAN Health is a fast-growing company building an approachable, digital-first medical practice in Switzerland to support men and women with science-backed end-to-end treatments in their pursuit of health and performance. We are a small team of experienced builders driven by a desire to deliver effective, high-quality health outcomes at scale. We value the ability to do deep, focused work. We use LLMs extensively without relinquishing human reasoning. We value kindness. We move fast.

The Role

As our Senior Backend & Infrastructure Engineer, you will own the foundation our healthcare application runs on while actively contributing to the core product. Your mission is to harden our systems, improve observability, and make decisions that ensure our architecture is robust and maintainable. You will sit at the intersection of DevOps and feature development, ensuring our stack (Node.js, TypeScript, Docker, Cloudflare) is secure, robust, and well architected. This requires a blend of deep operational knowledge and sharp software engineering skills.

What You'll Do

• Infrastructure improvement: Take ownership of our deployment and CI pipeline and make them simpler, more robust, and more maintainable. (Maybe move our Cloud Run setup to a VPS?)
• Backend Development: Write, review, and maintain production-ready backend application code in TypeScript.
• Security & Access Control: Conduct deep security reviews, assisted by LLMs. Reason critically about our authentication, login, and access patterns and execute on opportunities for improvements in our infrastructure and apps.
• Observability & Reliability: Set up excellent, clean observability pipelines to monitor system health and integrity and alert on relevant anomalies.

Who You Are

• End-to-end production experience: You’ve worked with production systems where you’ve “seen it before”, ideally in small-to-medium scale setups.
• Security-minded: You naturally think defensively. You care deeply about data privacy, secure default configurations, and protecting user information.
• Driven by reasoning: You can reason clearly about system architecture, security trade-offs, and failure modes. Your intuition for what makes a system robust is tuned by years of hands-on experience. You strongly prefer to build systems that are easy to reason about.
• High Agency: You manifest determination to make things happen, sustained over long periods of time, and make thoughtful decisions in the face of uncertain trade-offs.
• Technically skilled: You understand and can work with a broad range of technologies: networking, DNS, Linux environments, containers, practical cryptography, Node.js, TypeScript, relational databases, HTTP, and CI pipelines. You use LLMs and modern tools to accelerate your work without abdicating responsibility for the results.

Bonus Points

• Computer Science or Engineering degree.
• Deep familiarity with Cloudflare's ecosystem and network-level security.
• Prior experience dealing with data compliance (e.g. GDPR or equivalent frameworks).
• Previous experience at an early-stage startup.

What We Offer

• End-to-end ownership and a high degree of autonomy.
• Work with a small, experienced engineering team with a minimum of process and meetings.
• Remote work in CET +/- 2h or hybrid work in Zurich.

We are looking forward to your application! 🚀
