Job description

At ScaleForward, Jenkins isn't a buzzword on a slide, it's Tuesday, and we need a Lead Software Engineer who feels the same way. The appeal is layered — $111,000 - $146,000, a contract rhythm, technology ownership, and a ScaleForward crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Sit with technology users in Omaha to learn what the Teamwork tool really needs
• Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the ScaleForward stack
• Catch the C# race conditions that only surface under Omaha peak traffic
• Chase down the People Management integration that silently drops ScaleForward events at midnight
• Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Terraform

What You'll Bring

• At least 8 years building expertise within the technology space
• Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
• Proven leadership experience guiding lead-level initiatives
• Judgment seasoned by at least 7 years of real consequences
• Demonstrated People Management expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
• Deeply collaborative problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

Everything ScaleForward ships starts as a mission-driven argument in an Omaha conference room about how Redis should really work. Burnout is treated as a system bug at ScaleForward, not a badge of customer-centric honor.

Think competitive $111,000 - $146,000, full benefits, a clear runway to grow your Redis, and the latitude to work the way you work best.

Hiring is open and ongoing for this contract position in Omaha.
