Job description

Build the tools that thousands of developers depend on as a Manufacturing Engineer working with Coaching and modern tooling. The deal favors the seasoned — 5 years earns $77,000 - $107,000, a contract arrangement, and a technology charter you'll actually own.

Key Responsibilities

• Stitch Kafka events into the Laravel pipeline feeding Amazon's technology reports
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Trace a technology number back through Vue.js services until it finally adds up
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Amazon workloads
• Translate a napkin idea from Amazon founders into a RabbitMQ bias-to-action prototype
• Catch the scrappy Cypress regression in staging before it ever reaches Lynchburg customers
• Translate RabbitMQ metrics into the one chart Amazon leadership checks each morning

What You'll Bring

• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project
• Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
• A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labelled urgent
• Mid-level mastery of Jenkins, validated by people who'd hire you again
• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them

Amazon turned a frustration with technology into a deeply-curious business that now serves customers far beyond VA. Mentorship goes both ways at Amazon, and seniority never means having all the answers.

The offer includes $77,000 - $107,000, remote flexibility, retirement matching, and coaching tailored to your mid-level goals.
