Job description

The Enterprise Architect we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Dollar Tree is honest about both. Trade your Go and 7 years for $148,000 - $196,000 at Dollar Tree, and the growth that follows is yours to build.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn Dollar Tree's RabbitMQ on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Sketch Go sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
• Lead technical design reviews for senior technology initiatives
• Ship Linux experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Build the make-it-better Rust feature that wins back the DC accounts Dollar Tree lost

What You'll Bring

• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
• Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you

For over 5 years, Dollar Tree has built slow-to-anger solutions that help teams in Washington, DC get more done. We value clear writing and honest conversation over status games and politics.

Expect $148,000 - $196,000, yes, but also expect the kind of benefits and remote flexibility that make Mondays in Washington feel lighter.
