Job description

Our technology team is growing, and we want a Safety Engineer who can turn complex requirements into reliable, scalable software. Boiled down: full-time, $109,000 - $153,000, 5 years of Teamwork, and a seat at the table where BDO decisions get made.

Key Responsibilities

• Build the oddball-friendly Laravel feature that wins back the CA accounts BDO lost
• Apply Vue.js and Ruby on Rails to solve problem-solving engineering challenges
• Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
• Own the Ruby on Rails release that Costa Mesa leadership has circled on the calendar
• Own the flat-and-fast Laravel subsystem that the rest of BDO quietly depends on
• Resurrect flaky Laravel tests until the Costa Mesa, CA suite is trustworthy again
• Turn BDO's Cypress on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale

What You'll Bring

• Comfort presenting to a CA-wide audience without a script
• Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Safety Engineer position
• Enough MySQL to be dangerous, enough Java to be trusted
• Fluency in Ruby on Rails earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial

The genuinely-flexible founders of BDO built it in Costa Mesa to fix the exact technology problems that drove them crazy elsewhere. Inclusion isn't a slogan here; it shapes how we hire, promote, and run every meeting.

You will see $109,000 - $153,000 on the offer, plus a growth plan, a mentor, and benefits tuned for life beyond the Costa Mesa office.
