Descripción del empleo

We're after a Lead Software Engineer whose idea of a good day is an innovative pull request that closed three tickets and opened zero. The bargain is plain — your 8 years and Django for $126,000 - $201,000, plus a technology team that hands over the reins.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Git-based applications


• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time


• Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence


• Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools


• Sit with technology users in Hartford to learn what the Scrum tool really needs

What You'll Bring

• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly


• Proven PostgreSQL judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit


• A collaborator who makes the lead review feel less like an exam


• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter


• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them


• Comfort with the contract cadence of a Hartford-based operation

Long obsessed with Ruby, Nestle has turned a Hartford office into one of the mentorship-focused centers of technology innovation in CT. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

This contract role pays $126,000 - $201,000 and includes flexible scheduling plus a structured plan to grow your Ruby expertise.
