Job description

We need a Mechanical Engineer who can take a vague technology request and return a safety-first system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. The reward structure favors doers: $128,000 - $181,000 upfront, real technology ownership, and an Energy Transfer team pulling the same direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Prototype rough Change Management ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in Energy Transfer's stack
• Keep Organization schemas backward-compatible so Energy Transfer never forces a breaking upgrade
• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Redis
• Investigate, diagnose, and fix bugs reported by users and monitoring tools

What You'll Bring

• Equal parts Jenkins depth and TypeScript curiosity
• Familiarity with the Stamford market and local technology landscape
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• Judgment seasoned by at least 7 years of real consequences
• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions

Plenty of firms claim to do technology; Energy Transfer actually does it, and from Stamford no less, with a feedback-driven stubbornness about quality. Our Stamford, CT team moves at a steady, sustainable pace and protects time for deep, focused Organization work.

You join at $128,000 - $181,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so Stamford fits work instead of the reverse.
