• Defend American Express uptime through the 2 a.m. Orange pages nobody volunteers for
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Harden American Express's Python auth so the CA audit comes back clean
• Build the Interpersonal Skills tooling that makes every other Orange engineer faster
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Resurrect flaky Interpersonal Skills tests until the Orange, CA suite is trustworthy again

American Express grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Orange room into the technology partner much of CA now trusts. We'd rather coach a safety-first learner than babysit a brilliant jerk, every single time.

The $138,000 - $208,000 we offer comes attached to mentorship, a clear ladder, real benefits, and flexible internship days you can plan around.

Our hiring manager is personally reviewing every Enterprise Architect application that comes in.
