Job description

Our next Release Engineer will spend less time in meetings and more time in TypeScript, which is how Investment Advisory Group prefers to operate. Pair gently-demanding drive with 5 years and Investment Advisory Group returns $65,000 - $98,000, a Louisville base, and growth that outpaces the title.

Key Responsibilities

• Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and GraphQL libraries
• Decode the undocumented Flexibility service nobody at Investment Advisory Group remembers writing
• Drive the Flexibility incident postmortem that stops the Louisville outage from recurring
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Investment Advisory Group can explain
• Wrangle GraphQL config across environments so Louisville staging mirrors production
• Design GraphQL APIs other Louisville, KY teams will still thank you for next year
• Apply Kubernetes and Microservices to solve sharp-but-gentle engineering challenges

What You'll Bring

• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
• Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
• The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
• A solid foundation in Time Management, refined over 4+ years

Joining Investment Advisory Group means joining a self-directed group of professionals who push technology forward from Louisville. At Investment Advisory Group you're trusted with the why, not just handed the what.

We pay $65,000 - $98,000 for this technology position and back it with mentorship, flexibility, and real growth opportunities.

This one is current, freshly dated, and very much hiring.
