• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Harden InnovateCore Corp's MongoDB auth so the KS audit comes back clean
• Backfill PostgreSQL test coverage on the riskiest corners of InnovateCore Corp's codebase
• Apply PHP and REST API to solve unfussy engineering challenges

What You'll Bring

• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
• An eye for the scrappy detail that separates fine from finished
• Practical REST API skills sharpened in a freelance setting
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Demonstrated calm when a Wichita, KS client changes scope mid-stream
• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
