Job description

At Ross Stores, Tailwind CSS isn't a buzzword on a slide, it's Tuesday, and we need a Backend Developer who feels the same way. Trade your Java and 3 years for $88,000 - $115,000 at Ross Stores, and the growth that follows is yours to build.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull Ross Stores's Ansible stack out of the TX region before the migration deadline
• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Kubernetes acceptance criteria
• Catch the playfully-serious Ansible regression in staging before it ever reaches Irving customers
• Containerize applications and manage deployments with Kotlin and Ansible
• Sketch Tailwind CSS sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
• Keep Ross Stores's Ansible dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for craft-focused production environments

What You'll Bring

• Comfort with the temporary cadence of an Irving-based operation
• Demonstrated comfort presenting to mid-level leadership
• 5 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• Around 5+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role

For technology teams who've been burned before, Ross Stores is the data-honest Irving, TX partner that finally keeps its promises. We move fast on Java but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.

The $88,000 - $115,000 we offer comes attached to mentorship, a clear ladder, real benefits, and flexible temporary days you can plan around.

Active as of this moment, the Irving, TX role accepts resumes daily.
