Job description

As a Backend Developer at Media Advantage Corp, you will own features end to end, from architecture through deployment and monitoring. Cut to the chase and you get $81,000 - $117,000, a technology mandate, and Media Advantage Corp colleagues who treat ownership as the default.

Key Responsibilities

• Replace the brittle Java hack with a Time Management solution that survives Ames scale
• Re-architect the technology flow so Linux handles ten times Ames's current load
• Spot the unfussy Scrum anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Media Advantage Corp
• Backfill Linux test coverage on the riskiest corners of Media Advantage Corp's codebase
• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across IA engineering teams
• Own a technology service end to end, from Time Management schema to on-call rotation

What You'll Bring

• Enough Java to be dangerous, enough Scrum to be trusted
• Practical Critical Thinking skills sharpened in a full-time setting
• Working knowledge of GitLab CI alongside transferable Critical Thinking chops
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• Proven aptitude for Linux, ideally near Ames, IA
• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through

Media Advantage Corp doesn't sell technology so much as guarantee it, a gloriously-unglamorous distinction the Ames, IA team takes personally. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on GitLab CI and Time Management, not bureaucracy.

Count on $81,000 - $117,000, remote-first flexibility, parental leave, and a stipend for the tools and courses you need.
