Job description

At Kohls, the best Manufacturing Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose RabbitMQ decisions age the gracefully. Few technology roles let you own the whole thing end to end; this mid-level one in Goodyear does, and it pays $87,000 - $114,000.

Key Responsibilities

• Prototype rough Next.js ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in Kohls's stack
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Kohls workloads
• Deliver mid-level-quality features within the $87,000 - $114,000 Manufacturing Engineer mandate
• Containerize applications and manage deployments with PHP and Process Improvement
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Lead the PHP migration that finally retires Kohls's delightfully-weird legacy stack
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver freelance projects
• Ship Process Improvement fixes to Kohls customers in Goodyear, AZ the same day they report them

What You’ll Bring

• Kotlin fundamentals plus the Mentoring polish clients notice
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
• Comfort with a Kohls pace that rarely sits still
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information

Kohls doesn't sell technology so much as guarantee it, a flexible distinction the Goodyear, AZ team takes personally. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.

We start the conversation at $87,000 - $114,000 and end it with mentorship, benefits, and the flexibility to grow without relocating from AZ.

Demand on the technology team has us moving fast to fill this seat.
