Job description

Production Systems Group keeps a small, opinionated engineering team in Springfield, and the next opinion we need belongs to a Civil Engineer. The appeal is layered — $77,000 - $103,000, a freelance rhythm, technology ownership, and a Production Systems Group crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Wire up GraphQL feature flags so Production Systems Group can test on Springfield traffic risk-free
• Profile React memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Springfield nodes
• Walk technology stakeholders through React tradeoffs in language Production Systems Group execs grasp
• Catch the remote-native Professionalism regression in staging before it ever reaches Springfield customers
• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Untangle the PostgreSQL dependency knots that have slowed Springfield releases for months
• Stand up observability so Production Systems Group sees failures before customers in MA do

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with the rhythms of a low-drama freelance team
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project
• Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Springfield, MA
• Experience thriving in a values-led, deadline-driven setting like Production Systems Group

Since day one, Production Systems Group has been on a spirited-and-grounded mission to reshape technology from its base in Springfield, MA. You won't find performance theater here; we care what you shipped, not how busy you looked.

We set the base at $77,000 - $103,000 and build outward with growth coaching, a mentor, benefits, and hours you genuinely control.

This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.
