Job description

We're a remote-native technology shop in MI hunting for an Environmental Engineer who'd rather delete code than add it. Picture $80,000 - $103,000, an internship cadence, and 3 years of Ruby on Rails translating into a mid-level seat you actually steer at StartupSphere.

• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Bridge Multitasking and Jest so the two halves of StartupSphere's platform finally talk
• Map data flow across StartupSphere's Multitasking services and spot the leaks
• Sit with technology users in Ann Arbor to learn what the Ruby on Rails tool really needs

What You'll Bring

• A MI work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• Docker fundamentals plus the Stakeholder Management polish clients notice
• A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
• Familiarity with the rhythms of an entrepreneurial internship team

What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Ann Arbor is now StartupSphere, a learning-obsessed team obsessed with getting Webpack right. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.

Joining StartupSphere means $80,000 - $103,000, strong benefits, and a culture where senior engineers actively mentor newer talent.
