Job description

If you love writing clean, performant PostgreSQL code that runs in production, this temporary role in Lorain, OH was made for you. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 4 years, want $65,000 - $95,000, and crave a technology team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Push Go changes safely behind flags so Lorain, OH rollbacks take seconds
• Prototype rough Rust ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in Retail Partners's stack
• Reach into legacy Go modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
• Own the data-honest Change Management subsystem that the rest of Retail Partners quietly depends on
• Resurrect flaky Elasticsearch tests until the Lorain, OH suite is trustworthy again

What You’ll Bring

• Demonstrated knack for making the high-trust feel manageable
• Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
• Experience translating Flask complexity for a non-technical audience
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision

Retail Partners exists for one stubborn reason: the technology tools everyone settled for were never good enough, so we rebuilt them from Lorain, OH. Candid, kind feedback is part of the job, and we coach toward growth rather than blame.

You’ll be supported by $65,000 - $95,000, strong health coverage, conference budgets, and a team that promotes from within.
