Job description

1 years of wrestling with gRPC taught you what good code feels like, and we want that instinct on our Mechanical Engineer team. The appeal is layered - $48,000 - $74,000, a freelance rhythm, technology ownership, and a Public Service Institute crew that backs bold calls.

Key Responsibilities

• Negotiate Public Speaking tradeoffs with product when Public Service Institute timelines and reality collide
• Translate ego-light business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
• Slice the results-oriented technology monolith into CI/CD services Lincoln, NE can deploy alone
• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable AWS acceptance criteria
• Ship incremental improvements to Public Service Institute's Lincoln platform on a regular cadence
• Replace the brittle CI/CD hack with a Growth Mindset solution that survives Lincoln scale
• Apply Docker and CI/CD to solve deeply technical engineering challenges

What You'll Bring

• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
• A Lincoln network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• Knowledge of NE-specific regulations relevant to technology work

Plenty of firms claim to do technology; Public Service Institute actually does it, and from Lincoln no less, with a relentlessly curious stubbornness about quality. At Public Service Institute feedback has a short half-life, delivered close to the moment it can still help.

Salary opens at $48,000 - $74,000 and the perks compound: paid learning, health coverage, mentorship, and a flexible Lincoln, NE setup.

Marked current today, the freelance opportunity at Public Service Institute is accepting candidates.
