Job description

We're hiring a Smart Contract Developer who treats latency budgets like personal grudges and PostgreSQL like a second language. Few Albany employers pair $72,000 - $102,000 with this much technology autonomy, and fewer still ask only 5 years to earn it.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate technology compliance rules into Ruby guardrails baked into the build
• Monitor system health and set up alerting for low-drama production environments
• Sit with technology users in Albany to learn what the REST API tool really needs
• Backfill Express.js test coverage on the riskiest corners of Shopping Solutions Plus's codebase
• Mentor newer mid-level hires on how Shopping Solutions Plus actually wires Express.js together
• Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
• Wire Ruby APIs to Cross-Functional Collaboration consumers so data lands where Albany teams expect it
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems

What You'll Bring

• Working familiarity with full-time schedules and team norms at Shopping Solutions Plus
• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
• Comfort with the full-time cadence of an Albany-based operation
• Real curiosity about why Shopping Solutions Plus customers do what they do

Operating out of Albany, Shopping Solutions Plus designs the tools that power thousands of businesses in the technology sector. You'll find a flat structure where the best argument wins, regardless of title.

You get $72,000 - $102,000, a growth runway, a mentor, full benefits, and a flexible Albany, NY setup, no fine print, no catch.
