Key Responsibilities

• Trace a team-oriented technology bug across three Flask services to the one bad line
• Translate a napkin idea from Johns Hopkins founders into a Problem Solving deeply technical prototype
• Stitch Leadership events into the Angular pipeline feeding Johns Hopkins's technology reports
• Own the proudly-nerdy Express.js subsystem that the rest of Johns Hopkins quietly depends on
• Keep Johns Hopkins's Express.js CI under ten minutes so Everett, WA engineers stay in flow

What You'll Bring

• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• 5+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts
• The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• A WA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
• Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Everett, WA
• 4+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way

Johns Hopkins began as a side project in Everett and grew into the documentation-first platform thousands of technology users now rely on. Trust is the default setting at Johns Hopkins; you have to actively spend it to lose it.

Beyond the $107,000 - $145,000 base, Johns Hopkins invests in your growth through paid certifications, conferences, and dedicated learning time.

We stamped it current today; the temporary opening is genuinely accepting candidates.
