Job description

At Public Service Institute, the best Mechanical Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose C# decisions age the gracefully. This is $71,000 - $107,000 for 7 years of C#, a freelance schedule, and a senior stake in where Public Service Institute heads next.

Key Responsibilities

• Read the REST API stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Own the JavaScript release that Shreveport leadership has circled on the calendar
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Apply Webpack and JavaScript to solve heads-down-and-happy engineering challenges
• Automate the manual REST API chores that quietly drain Shreveport, LA engineering hours
• Carry the Express.js platform work that makes Public Service Institute's next LA expansion boring
• Keep the Cultural Awareness build pipeline green so Shreveport deploys never wait on a red light
• Build the empathy-led Express.js feature that wins back the LA accounts Public Service Institute lost

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• Comfort with the freelance cadence of a Shreveport-based operation
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level

Rooted in Shreveport and restless by nature, Public Service Institute keeps reinventing how JavaScript and Cultural Awareness fit together. Inclusion isn't a poster on the Shreveport, LA wall; it's who gets pulled into the room and heard.

We hand you $71,000 - $107,000, a growth plan, a mentor, and benefits, then let you flex your week to fit Shreveport the way you like.
