Job description

Between the demo that wows and the system that survives sits the Principal Software Engineer we're recruiting in Helena, and PepsiCo pays $122,000 - $172,000 for the difference. Consider the trade: your 10 years of Analytical Thinking for $122,000 - $172,000, a part-time schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

Key Responsibilities

• Own data integrity across PepsiCo's Flask stores so Helena numbers never lie
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
• Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the PepsiCo stack
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at PepsiCo can explain
• Tune Spring Boot caching so PepsiCo survives the Helena launch spike on the same hardware

What You'll Bring

• Principal mastery of Vue.js, validated by people who'd hire you again
• Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
• A Helena grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• Familiarity with PepsiCo-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• 9+ years of Analytical Thinking reps, not just Analytical Thinking exposure
• The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
• RabbitMQ fundamentals plus the Git polish clients notice
