Job description

Engineers who can explain AWS Lambda to a skeptic and still ship by Friday tend to thrive in our Cloud Engineer role in Lowell. The promise is concrete — $79,000 - $114,000, remote hours, 5 years honored, and a technology role at ScaleForward that grows with you.

Key Responsibilities

• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput ScaleForward workloads
• Resurrect flaky Networking tests until the Lowell, MA suite is trustworthy again
• Watch AWS Lambda error budgets and pump the brakes before Lowell, MA burns through them
• Build Microservices dashboards so ScaleForward's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
• Own the mid-level Consul workstream that unblocks the rest of ScaleForward's Lowell, MA roadmap
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles

What You'll Bring

• Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
• Equal parts Incident Response depth and Change Management curiosity
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
• Knowledge of MA-specific regulations relevant to technology work

ScaleForward builds technology tools the way old shops built furniture — slowly, in Lowell, MA, and with a scrappy-but-steady respect for the craft. We measure Cloud Engineer success by problems solved, not hours logged at your Lowell, MA desk.

We value work-life balance, so expect $79,000 - $114,000, flexible hours, paid sabbaticals, and a supportive mentoring program.

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