Job description

We're after a Python Developer whose idea of a good day is a nimble pull request that closed three tickets and opened zero. The proposition holds together — $68,000 - $95,000, 5 years, a KY base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.

Key Responsibilities

• Tune Laravel caching so Nestle survives the Lexington launch spike on the same hardware
• Wire Initiative APIs to Spring Boot consumers so data lands where Lexington teams expect it
• Negotiate REST API tradeoffs with product when Nestle timelines and reality collide
• Wrangle Docker config across environments so Lexington staging mirrors production
• Spot the deeply technical Resilience anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Nestle
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Nestle workloads

What You'll Bring

• A Nestle mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
• Experience at the mid-level inside a contract role
• Working knowledge of Ansible alongside transferable Tailwind CSS chops
• Comfort working in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• Proven Laravel results, ideally seasoned in Lexington, KY

Across KY, the high-energy technology systems people trust most often turn out to be Nestle, built quietly in Lexington. The door to every manager at Nestle is genuinely open, calendar permitting and politics aside.

Earn a $68,000 - $95,000 base while a mentor accelerates your jump from mid-level to lead, with benefits and flexibility along for the ride.
