Job description

We need someone who reads stack traces the way other people read headlines, and we're calling that someone a Site Reliability Engineer. The Tuscaloosa role is less about the $71,000 - $101,000 and more about what 5 years of Infrastructure as Code lets you own at Family Dollar.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
• Ship the gloriously-unglamorous GitHub Actions features that move Family Dollar's technology roadmap forward
• Own the zero-bureaucracy Python subsystem that the rest of Family Dollar quietly depends on
• Ship incremental improvements to Family Dollar's Tuscaloosa platform on a regular cadence
• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Consul-based applications

What You'll Bring

• Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
• The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
• Hands-on familiarity with GitLab CI, sharpened by Consul side projects
• A quality-focused bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• Familiarity with Problem Solving and related tools or frameworks
• A track record of steady-handed delivery in an internship structure

Family Dollar builds technology tools the way old shops built furniture — slowly, in Tuscaloosa, AL, and with a playfully-serious respect for the craft. We pair junior and senior folks on purpose so GitHub Actions knowledge stops hoarding in one head.

The offer reads $71,000 - $101,000, plus the soft stuff that hard-wins loyalty: coaching, coverage, and a flexible internship rhythm.
