Job description

We need a Backend Developer who can take a vague technology request and return a transparent system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. Production Technologies frames it as a partnership — $102,000 - $138,000 for your 5 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Kubernetes acceptance criteria

• Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
• Re-architect the technology flow so RabbitMQ handles ten times Pittsburgh's current load
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Decision Making
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using RabbitMQ and Decision Making

What You'll Bring
