Job description

Code that ships to millions starts as a pull request on someone's screen, and at KKR we want that someone to be our next Go Developer. Bring Written Communication and Linux; we'll bring $112,000 - $149,000, a strong team, and the ownership that turns experience into impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull KKR's Selenium stack out of the CA region before the migration deadline
• Resurrect flaky Linux tests until the Costa Mesa, CA suite is trustworthy again
• Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
• Document the Django system so the next mid-level engineer onboards in days, not weeks
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability

What You'll Bring

• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• Real curiosity about why KKR customers do what they do
• Practical CI/CD skills sharpened in a full-time setting
• At least 3 years of standing behind your own estimates
• Working understanding of both Mentoring and Written Communication in real-world settings
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first

KKR began as a side project in Costa Mesa and grew into the growth-minded platform thousands of technology users now rely on. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

The Go Developer role earns $112,000 - $149,000 and opens doors to cross-functional projects that accelerate your Selenium and Change Management growth.
