The technology team at NexTech Systems ships on Fridays without flinching, and the Environmental Engineer we hire will understand why that matters. The $77,000 - $119,000 is the floor, not the ceiling; with 1 years and technology ownership, this NexTech Systems role keeps rising.

Key Responsibilities

• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Resurrect flaky PostgreSQL tests until the Seattle, WA suite is trustworthy again
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core NexTech Systems products
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Stand up observability so NexTech Systems sees failures before customers in WA do

What You'll Bring

• The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet

• A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Solid PostgreSQL grounding, plus Adaptability you can pick up on the fly
