Job description

We're a high-trust technology shop in TX hunting for a Ruby Developer who'd rather delete code than add it. The pitch is honest — $89,000 - $127,000, real ownership of technology outcomes, and an Emerson crew in Houston that has your back.

Key Responsibilities

• Reproduce the team-oriented bug from the Houston field report, then make it impossible again
• Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the Emerson stack
• Replace the brittle Kotlin hack with a Redis solution that survives Houston scale
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Work-Life Balance and Kotlin
• Ship the quick-to-ship Customer Service features that move Emerson's technology roadmap forward
• Catch the empathy-led Kotlin regression in staging before it ever reaches Houston customers

What You'll Bring

• Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• Mid-level mastery of Kotlin, validated by people who'd hire you again
• A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
• 3+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Proven leadership experience guiding mid-level-level initiatives

Emerson exists to solve hard technology problems with a maker-minded approach and a Houston, TX-rooted culture. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

We offer a competitive salary of $89,000 - $127,000, comprehensive health coverage, and a clear path to grow into senior technology work.

Hiring as we speak in Houston, with daily reviews still underway.

If a $89,000 - $127,000 role with room to grow sounds right, Emerson would love to hear from you.
