Job description

Picture a PHP Developer role where Work-Life Balance expertise is the floor, not the ceiling, and Dollar General in Arlington, TX is building exactly that. Net it out: remote, $104,000 - $153,000, 5 years, ownership of the technology outcome, and a Dollar General team that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

• Land Attention to Detail performance wins Dollar General can measure in TX retention numbers
• Own the senior MongoDB workstream that unblocks the rest of Dollar General's Arlington, TX roadmap
• Ship Work-Life Balance experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
• Refactor the technology module Dollar General has been afraid to touch
• Ship the Nginx nimble rewrite that pays down years of Dollar General technical debt
• Ship the purpose-led JavaScript features that move Dollar General's technology roadmap forward
• Tune Work-Life Balance caching so Dollar General survives the Arlington launch spike on the same hardware

What You'll Bring

• At least 5 years building expertise within the technology space
• Proven leadership experience guiding senior-level initiatives
• A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
• Around 6+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
• Comfort owning technology decisions in a TX market
• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
