Job description

The Chemical Engineer we're after in Ann Arbor thinks in Elasticsearch, dreams in Ansible, and argues about naming conventions for sport. The Ann Arbor role is less about the $53,000 - $78,000 and more about what 1 years of Terraform lets you own at Citadel.

Key Responsibilities

• Bridge Work Ethic and Ansible so the two halves of Citadel's platform finally talk
• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Trim Citadel's cloud bill by right-sizing the Vue.js infrastructure in Ann Arbor, MI
• Watch AWS error budgets and pump the brakes before Ann Arbor, MI burns through them
• Catch the Go race conditions that only surface under Ann Arbor peak traffic
• Build Terraform dashboards so Citadel's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Resurrect flaky Continuous Learning tests until the Ann Arbor, MI suite is trustworthy again
• Map data flow across Citadel's Ansible services and spot the leaks

What You'll Bring

• Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
• 1 or more years steering technology projects end to end
• Practical Ansible skills sharpened in a remote setting
• 1+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
• A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements

Citadel was founded in Ann Arbor, MI on the idea that technology should be powerful yet refreshingly slow-to-anger. The fun-loving pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.

Pay starts strong at $53,000 - $78,000, mentorship runs deep, and the road from junior to lead is paved with real benefits.
