Job description

Kohls is the kind of place where a junior's question can change the technology roadmap, and we want a Process Engineer who asks them. Lay it bare: contract Process Engineer, $96,000 - $131,000, 5 years of gRPC, and a seat where Kohls decisions get shaped.

Key Responsibilities

• Push Empathy changes safely behind flags so Aurora, CO rollbacks take seconds
• Question the tinker-friendly Creativity pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Harden Kohls's gRPC auth so the CO audit comes back clean
• Prototype rough GitHub Actions ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in Kohls's stack
• Drive the MongoDB incident postmortem that stops the Aurora outage from recurring
• Carry the Nginx platform work that makes Kohls's next CO expansion boring

What You'll Bring

• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
• 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it

Three things define Kohls: an Aurora address, a nimble culture, and a near-religious devotion to Creativity. Our Aurora office runs on mutual respect, low ego, and a genuine willingness to help.

The package speaks for itself: $96,000 - $131,000, coaching, coverage, and the flexible contract hours that ego-light technology pros expect.

We are filling this Process Engineer seat now, with onboarding planned for the near term.
