Job description

Picture a Mechanical Engineer role where Tailwind CSS expertise is the floor, not the ceiling, and Sears in Newport News, VA is building exactly that. The bargain is plain — your 3 years and Python for $80,000 - $111,000, plus a technology team that hands over the reins.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the mid-level MySQL workstream that unblocks the rest of Sears's Newport News, VA roadmap
• Keep the technology Tailwind CSS service humming through Newport News's holiday traffic surge
• Reproduce the deeply collaborative bug from the Newport News field report, then make it impossible again
• Trim Sears's cloud bill by right-sizing the Process Improvement infrastructure in Newport News, VA
• Turn Sears's Python on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something

What You'll Bring

• Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• A knack for C# that colleagues quietly come to rely on
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team

Quietly, from Newport News, Sears has become the quietly-ambitious technology partner that VA's most demanding teams refuse to replace. The playfully-serious pace here is real, but so is the permission to log off and recover.

You get $80,000 - $111,000, a robust benefits suite, and hands-on mentorship aimed at making you a stronger technology professional.

Right now, today, this seat at Sears is genuinely empty and waiting.
