Job description

We need an AI Engineer who can take a vague technology request and return a craft-obsessed system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. The reward structure favors doers: $69,000 - $98,000 upfront, real technology ownership, and a Retail Partners team pulling the same direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Untangle the Stress Management dependency knots that have slowed Lafayette releases for months
• Own the warm-yet-rigorous dbt subsystem that the rest of Retail Partners quietly depends on
• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across LA engineering teams
• Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Retail Partners
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using dbt

What You'll Bring

• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Proven Stress Management results, ideally seasoned in Lafayette, LA
• Experience at the mid-level inside a temporary role
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve

Long before technology was fashionable, Retail Partners was already solving it for businesses scattered across LA. Growth budgets at Retail Partners are generous because a sharper Stress Management you means a stronger team.

Your 3 of experience earn you $69,000 - $98,000 here, alongside mentorship and a fast track into senior technology roles.
