Job description

5 years of wrestling with People Management taught you what good code feels like, and we want that instinct on our Ruby Developer team. We offer $64,000 - $94,000, a clear growth track, and a team where your 4 years of experience genuinely move the needle.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn Retail Partners's TypeScript on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Translate a napkin idea from Retail Partners founders into a Microservices impact-driven prototype
• Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Retail Partners
• Build the Python tooling that makes every other Louisville engineer faster
• Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Retail Partners's growing user base
• Translate steady-handed business requirements into technical specifications and tasks

What You'll Bring

• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a contract project
• Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• Willingness to commute to Louisville, KY or work flexibly as needed
• Fluency across Python and People Management, with strong opinions on both
• Proven aptitude for Professionalism, ideally near Louisville, KY
• The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments

For all its quality-obsessed ambition, Retail Partners still operates like the scrappy Louisville startup that first cracked technology years ago. We'd rather hear hard truths in the hallway than polite fictions in the all-hands.

Come grow with us: $64,000 - $94,000 to start, a mentor to guide, benefits to lean on, and hours flexible enough for Louisville living.

The contract seat is open right now, refreshed and ready for resumes.
