Job description

The technology team at VentureCore ships on Fridays without flinching, and the Smart Contract Developer we hire will understand why that matters. Everything here scales with you — $90,000 - $140,000 at 5 years, technology ownership soon after, and a VentureCore ladder above.

Key Responsibilities

• Replace the brittle Ruby on Rails hack with a Jenkins solution that survives Elk Grove scale
• Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
• Question the learning-obsessed Ruby on Rails pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
• Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that VentureCore users feel every click
• Own a technology service end to end, from Jenkins schema to on-call rotation
• Guard the Empathy codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
• Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the VentureCore stack
• Translate Ruby on Rails metrics into the one chart VentureCore leadership checks each morning

What You'll Bring

• Calm under the entrepreneurial chaos a mid-level role tends to generate
• Familiarity with VentureCore-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Comfort presenting to a CA-wide audience without a script
• Working familiarity with internship schedules and team norms at VentureCore
• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• A VentureCore mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow

VentureCore is a hardworking, fiercely independent Elk Grove company that would rather earn trust slowly than buy attention quickly. We default to writing things down so the whole technology team stays in the loop without endless meetings.

VentureCore offers $90,000 - $140,000 plus the autonomy to set your own schedule and the support to keep growing.
