Job description

Strategic Consulting Partners needs a Backend Developer in MI who can argue passionately about Kafka, then commit to whatever the team decides. The appeal is layered — $49,000 - $76,000, an internship rhythm, technology ownership, and a Strategic Consulting Partners crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Walk technology stakeholders through Django tradeoffs in language Strategic Consulting Partners execs grasp
• Translate technology compliance rules into Django guardrails baked into the build
• Trace a purpose-led technology bug across three Jenkins services to the one bad line
• Pair-program tricky Django edge cases with engineers across Livonia, MI

What You'll Bring

• Resilience measured across 1 years of technology cycles
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• Willingness to relocate to Livonia, MI, or to make remote work
• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
• Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
• Calm under the detail-focused chaos a junior role tends to generate

Anchored in Livonia, MI, Strategic Consulting Partners designs the kind of entrepreneurial systems that technology teams quietly depend on every single day. We move fast on AWS but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.
