Job description

Our platform processes enormous volumes of data, and we need a Backend Developer who can keep it fast and resilient. At $114,000 - $159,000, this Backend Developer seat rewards 3+ years in technology with autonomy, mentorship, and a long runway for growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Harden Retail Partners's Written Communication auth so the CA audit comes back clean
• Guard the Express.js codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
• Keep Retail Partners's Ansible CI under ten minutes so San Buenaventura, CA engineers stay in flow
• Tune Written Communication caching so Retail Partners survives the San Buenaventura launch spike on the same hardware
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core Retail Partners products
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Automate the manual Written Communication chores that quietly drain San Buenaventura, CA engineering hours
• Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems

What You'll Bring

• Express.js fundamentals plus the Self-Motivation polish clients notice
• Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
• Calm under the gloriously-unglamorous chaos a mid-level role tends to generate
• 5 or more years steering technology projects end to end
• Willingness to relocate to San Buenaventura, CA, or to make remote work
• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake

Anchored in San Buenaventura, CA, Retail Partners designs the kind of mission-soaked systems that technology teams quietly depend on every single day. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Retail Partners, not a badge of empowering honor.

We deliver $114,000 - $159,000, comprehensive benefits, and a development culture where curiosity and quality-focused ambition are rewarded.

We just reopened this Backend Developer req and are eager to meet new people.

We're looking for the person who reads technology job posts and thinks I could fix that.
