• Tune Jest queries until the WA database stops timing out under load
• Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity

• The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve

The experiment-friendly founders of HFF built it in Lynnwood to fix the exact technology problems that drove them crazy elsewhere. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Terraform work, not the human behind it.

We answer the money question first with $131,000 - $182,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible internship schedule.

Our team checks new Civil Engineer applications every single business day.
