Job description

Our technology stack is growing faster than our team, so Macys is bringing on a Quality Engineer to keep the architecture honest. Set against the usual technology listings, this temporary role at Macys stands out for one reason — it pays $68,000 - $99,000 and trusts you.

Key Responsibilities

• Read the GitLab CI stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root
• Sketch Relationship Building sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
• Lead the Tailwind CSS migration that finally retires Macys's underdog-spirited legacy stack
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
• Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
• Carry the Tailwind CSS platform work that makes Macys's next MO expansion boring
• Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Express.js on-call at Macys
• Keep the technology Tailwind CSS service humming through Springfield's holiday traffic surge

What You'll Bring

• Hands-on proficiency with Multitasking, ideally paired with Express.js
• A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
• Willingness to commute to Springfield, MO or work flexibly as needed
• The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well

Macys is a small but transparent MO company that punches well above its weight in the technology space. We pair junior and senior folks on purpose so Ruby knowledge stops hoarding in one head.

You join at $68,000 - $99,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so Springfield fits work instead of the reverse.

We are reviewing Multitasking and Tailwind CSS backgrounds on a daily basis for this seat.
