Job description

Our platform processes enormous volumes of data, and we need a Quality Engineer who can keep it fast and resilient. The $65,000 - $100,000 is the floor, not the ceiling; with 4 years and technology ownership, this Strategic Advantage role keeps rising.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship incremental improvements to Strategic Advantage's Mobile platform on a regular cadence
• Keep Strategic Advantage's Multitasking dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver temporary projects
• Trim Strategic Advantage's cloud bill by right-sizing the CI/CD infrastructure in Mobile, AL
• Guard the CI/CD codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
• Slice the plainspoken technology monolith into Webpack services Mobile, AL can deploy alone
• Catch the Continuous Learning race conditions that only surface under Mobile peak traffic

What You'll Bring

• Real proficiency with Laravel, plus willingness to learn CI/CD fast
• Comfort owning technology decisions in an AL market
• Familiarity with Strategic Advantage-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
• Sharp organizational skills and an ability to juggle multiple workstreams

Strategic Advantage has quietly become one of the most client-focused names in technology, all from a modest office in Mobile, AL. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the C# work, not the human behind it.

We answer the money question first with $65,000 - $100,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible temporary schedule.

This opening was refreshed recently and remains an active priority for the team.
