Job description

We're hiring a Backend Developer who treats latency budgets like personal grudges and Django like a second language. We offer $76,000 - $101,000, a clear growth track, and a team where your 3 years of experience genuinely move the needle.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate a napkin idea from TechAdvantage founders into a Kubernetes impact-driven prototype
• Cut Adaptability cold-start times so TechAdvantage functions wake before AL users notice
• Lead the Microsoft Azure migration that finally retires TechAdvantage's gently-demanding legacy stack
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with CI/CD
• Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture

What You'll Bring

• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• 4 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• A solid foundation in CI/CD, refined over 5+ years
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
• Real curiosity about why TechAdvantage customers do what they do
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• 5+ years putting Express.js to work in a technology setting

From its base in Tuscaloosa, AL, TechAdvantage has spent the last decade making Kubernetes dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. At TechAdvantage, asking for a day off doesn't require a doctor's note or a guilt trip.

Joining TechAdvantage means $76,000 - $101,000, strong benefits, and a culture where senior engineers actively mentor newer talent.

We are actively reviewing applications for this Backend Developer role this week.
