Job description

We're opening a part-time Frontend Developer role for an engineer fluent in Scrum and allergic to undocumented surprises. For a goal-oriented professional with 5+ years behind them, this part-time Frontend Developer job delivers $104,000 - $148,000 and meaningful growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate a napkin idea from ScaleTech founders into a Google Cloud calmly-fast-moving prototype
• Wire Terraform APIs to Kafka consumers so data lands where West Covina teams expect it
• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Tune Terraform queries until the CA database stops timing out under load
• Wire up Scrum feature flags so ScaleTech can test on West Covina traffic risk-free
• Own data integrity across ScaleTech's Jest stores so West Covina numbers never lie

What You'll Bring

• Strong working knowledge of Jest and Kafka
• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly

Half the technology platforms in CA quietly depend on something ScaleTech built in West Covina with flat-and-fast care. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Django and Kafka, not bureaucracy.

Expect $104,000 - $148,000 plus full medical, dental, and vision benefits, generous paid time off, and real mentorship from day one.

Think you can bring something different to our technology team?
