Job description

This is a chance to ship code that matters, working with GitLab CI on systems serving high-traffic workloads. Sum it up however you want — contract Cloud Engineer, $102,000 - $136,000, 6 years of Redis, and a stake in Family Dollar that only deepens.

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
• Build the data-honest Redis feature that wins back the NM accounts Family Dollar lost
• Reproduce the team-oriented bug from the Santa Fe field report, then make it impossible again
• Decode the undocumented Flexibility service nobody at Family Dollar remembers writing
• Untangle the GitLab CI dependency knots that have slowed Santa Fe releases for months
• Wrangle GitLab CI config across environments so Santa Fe staging mirrors production
• Translate Goal Setting metrics into the one chart Family Dollar leadership checks each morning
• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Grafana-based applications

What You'll Bring

• Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
• A detail-loving bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
• Senior fluency in Pulumi, with Grafana on your roadmap
• A solid foundation in GitLab CI, refined over 7+ years
• Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Santa Fe, NM deadlines bring

Three things define Family Dollar: a Santa Fe address, an oddball-friendly culture, and a near-religious devotion to Goal Setting. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.

You join at $102,000 - $136,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so Santa Fe fits work instead of the reverse.

This role is in active recruitment, with a target start date just ahead.
