Job description

Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so Retail Solutions Group is bringing on a Game Developer to keep the architecture honest. What makes this Retail Solutions Group role different is the ownership; the $81,000 - $111,000 and remote hours are just the entry fee.

Key Responsibilities

• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Retail Solutions Group users feel every click
• Read the Change Management stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Ship Resilience fixes to Retail Solutions Group customers in St. Cloud, MN the same day they report them
• Drive the Resilience incident postmortem that stops the St. Cloud outage from recurring
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Ruby
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver remote projects

What You'll Bring

• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
• Fluency across RabbitMQ and Coaching, with strong opinions on both
• Experience translating Ruby on Rails complexity for a non-technical audience
• Comfort with remote arrangements and the rhythms of a solutions-focused workplace

From our St. Cloud, MN office, Retail Solutions Group ships data-driven products used by companies large and small. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.

• You'll receive $81,000 - $111,000, a hybrid schedule, and a personalized development plan tailored to your technology career goals.
