• Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Django libraries
• Bridge RabbitMQ and MongoDB so the two halves of Nordstrom's platform finally talk
• Drive the Django incident postmortem that stops the Fairfield outage from recurring
• Decide when to buy RabbitMQ versus build it for Nordstrom's Fairfield, CA stack

• A solid foundation in Kotlin, refined over 5+ years
• An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes

Founded in Fairfield, CA during a downturn, Nordstrom grew gloriously-unglamorous and lean while flashier technology rivals burned out. Our team in CA keeps a running list of what we'd do differently, and we actually act on it.

From the $107,000 - $150,000 starting line, expect coaching that grows your RabbitMQ and benefits that quietly cover the rest of life.

This Safety Engineer posting is fresh, active, and open for business right now.
