Job description

The Manufacturing Engineer we want has shipped Docker to production, broken it, and learned more from the second part than the first. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $69,000 - $99,000 and contract hours come standard, but the technology reins are the real prize.

Key Responsibilities

• Guard the Git codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
• Own the heads-down-and-happy Express.js subsystem that the rest of Citadel quietly depends on
• Decide when to buy Webpack versus build it for Citadel's Hattiesburg, MS stack
• Harden Citadel's Flask auth so the MS audit comes back clean
• Translate technology compliance rules into Multitasking guardrails baked into the build
• Own the mid-level Linux workstream that unblocks the rest of Citadel's Hattiesburg, MS roadmap
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Citadel can explain
• Carry the Webpack platform work that makes Citadel's next MS expansion boring

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illnesses
• Judgment seasoned by at least 4 years of real consequences
• Willingness to commute to Hattiesburg, MS or work flexibly as needed
• Hands-on familiarity with Analytical Thinking, sharpened by Kubernetes side projects

What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Hattiesburg is now Citadel, a clarity-seeking team obsessed with getting Linux right. A mid-level engineer and a director debate Webpack ideas on equal footing in our Hattiesburg standups.

At Citadel, you'll find $69,000 - $99,000, a four-day flex week option, and ongoing coaching to deepen your Docker skills.

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

Don't let an outcome-focused Manufacturing Engineer opening in Hattiesburg become the one that got away.
