Job description

Help Goldman Sachs engineer the next generation of our platform, one well-tested Node.js commit at a time. The center of gravity here is ownership — $78,000 - $103,000 and a temporary schedule orbit it, and 5 years gets you in the door.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship the joyfully-rigorous MySQL features that move Goldman Sachs's technology roadmap forward
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Selenium
• Translate a napkin idea from Goldman Sachs founders into a Microsoft Azure learning-obsessed prototype
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Chesapeake, VA and remote teams
• Translate technology compliance rules into Node.js guardrails baked into the build
• Walk technology stakeholders through GitHub Actions tradeoffs in language Goldman Sachs execs grasp

What You'll Bring

• Cross-functional ease, from Relationship Building engineers to Ruby marketers
• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• Hands-on proficiency with Microsoft Azure, ideally paired with Relationship Building
• Comfort with the temporary cadence of a Chesapeake-based operation
• Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
• Demonstrated Node.js expertise in a fast-moving technology environment

What sets Goldman Sachs apart isn't size but a high-trust Chesapeake culture that refuses to ship GitHub Actions it wouldn't trust itself. You'll find a flat structure where the best argument wins, regardless of title.

You will see $78,000 - $103,000 on the offer, plus a growth plan, a mentor, and benefits tuned for life beyond the Chesapeake office.
