Job description

As a Java Developer at Discovery, you will own features end to end, from architecture through deployment and monitoring. The proposition holds together — $78,000 - $113,000, 5 years, an AR base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

Key Responsibilities

• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Discovery can explain
• Profile Flask memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Little Rock nodes
• Slice the scrappy technology monolith into Active Listening services Little Rock, AR can deploy alone
• Deliver senior-quality features within the $78,000 - $113,000 Java Developer mandate
• Keep Discovery's Webpack CI under ten minutes so Little Rock, AR engineers stay in flow
• Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Little Rock, AR production without dropping the baton
• Build TypeScript self-service tools so Little Rock teams stop filing tickets for everything
• Translate technology compliance rules into AWS guardrails baked into the build

What You'll Bring

• Practical command of Agile, with bonus points for Active Listening
• A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
• Enough Stakeholder Management to be dangerous, enough MySQL to be trusted
• Willingness to relocate to Little Rock, AR, or to make remote work

Discovery is the kind of transparent Little Rock company that technology engineers leave their old jobs to join. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.

We reward your Webpack with $78,000 - $113,000, surround it with mentorship and benefits, and let your schedule flex around Little Rock.
