Job description

The Backend Developer we hire will help DataWave Corp pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Redis sparingly and well. Boiled down: temporary, $80,000 - $114,000, 5 years of Linux, and a seat at the table where DataWave Corp decisions get made.

Key Responsibilities

• Catch the Mentoring race conditions that only surface under Dallas peak traffic
• Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Redis on-call at DataWave Corp
• Refactor the technology module DataWave Corp has been afraid to touch
• Question the learning-obsessed Mentoring pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Lead the Redis migration that finally retires DataWave Corp's ruthlessly-focused legacy stack

What You'll Bring

• Fluency in GitHub Actions earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labelled urgent
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email

DataWave Corp is an unpretentious, fiercely independent Dallas company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. At DataWave Corp you're trusted with the why, not just handed the what.

Your package includes $80,000 - $114,000, premium healthcare, and a generous home-office allowance for our distributed team.

Current and accurate as of this visit, the temporary opening stands ready.
