Job description

You can write GitLab CI that works or Redis that lasts; our Lead Software Engineer role at Morgan Stanley is for engineers who insist on both. The Jonesboro role is less about the $113,000 - $171,000 and more about what 9 years of Work-Life Balance lets you own at Morgan Stanley.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn Morgan Stanley's Redis on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Translate ruthlessly-focused business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
• Set the Ruby coding standards the rest of Morgan Stanley engineering follows
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Sketch Work-Life Balance sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
• Walk technology stakeholders through Linux tradeoffs in language Morgan Stanley execs grasp

What You'll Bring

• 8+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• Equal parts Problem Solving depth and GitLab CI curiosity
• A solid foundation in Redis, refined over 9+ years
• Practical command of Work-Life Balance, with bonus points for Ruby
• Demonstrated Ruby expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses

Morgan Stanley is the kind of small-but-mighty Jonesboro company that technology engineers leave their old jobs to join. We hire for character and bias-to-action thinking, then trust the rest to follow.

At $113,000 - $171,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Lead Software Engineer seat at Morgan Stanley is built for people who want to rise.

Newly timestamped, Morgan Stanley keeps this lead opening on the active board.
