Job description

The Lead Software Engineer we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Volkswagen is honest about both. Rare is the lead opening that pairs $106,000 - $147,000 with the freedom to shape technology work the way this Cheyenne one does.

Key Responsibilities

• Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Cheyenne, WY production without dropping the baton
• Refine and maintain microservices that support Volkswagen customers in Cheyenne, WY
• Own the lead Linux workstream that unblocks the rest of Volkswagen's Cheyenne, WY roadmap
• Tune People Management caching so Volkswagen survives the Cheyenne launch spike on the same hardware
• Carry the Microsoft Azure platform work that makes Volkswagen's next WY expansion boring

What You'll Bring

• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• Microsoft Azure fundamentals plus the Webpack polish clients notice
• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
• Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
• Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve

Long before technology was fashionable, Volkswagen was already solving it for businesses scattered across WY. Kindness and high standards live together comfortably on this outcome-focused Cheyenne team.

Here the offer compounds, $106,000 - $147,000 now, mentorship next, benefits throughout, and flexible Cheyenne, WY hours for the long haul.
