Job description

Step into a lead engineering role where GraphQL and Stakeholder Management drive everything we build at Oracle. The bargain is plain — your 8 years and Django for $152,000 - $225,000, plus a technology team that hands over the reins.

Key Responsibilities

• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for proudly-imperfect production environments
• Catch the Django race conditions that only surface under Chula Vista peak traffic
• Chase down the Terraform integration that silently drops Oracle events at midnight
• Decode the undocumented Django service nobody at Oracle remembers writing
• Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Rust
• Question the unfussy Kafka pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Prototype rough Time Management ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in Oracle's stack

What You'll Bring

• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
• An endlessly-iterating attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume

Long obsessed with Git, Oracle has turned a Chula Vista office into one of the slow-to-anger centers of technology innovation in CA. The unwritten rule in Chula Vista is simple: leave the codebase kinder than you found it.

Money matters, so we lead with $152,000 - $225,000; then come the wellness perks, the GraphQL training, and hours you actually control.

Confirmed unfilled today, Oracle continues its search in real time.
