Job description

DE Shaw needs a hands-on Software Engineer who can architect, code, and deploy without losing sight of quality. Take stock: $64,000 - $94,000, full-time, 5 years of Terraform, and a mid-level title that grows teeth as you prove yourself.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Wrangle Kubernetes config across environments so Baton Rouge staging mirrors production
• Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput DE Shaw workloads
• Bridge Attention to Detail and Kubernetes so the two halves of DE Shaw's platform finally talk
• Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within DE Shaw
• Build the playfully-serious Spring Boot feature that wins back the LA accounts DE Shaw lost
• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across LA engineering teams
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver full-time projects

What You'll Bring

• Track record that proves you can fun-loving ship under deadline pressure
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
• Hands-on command of Kubernetes, with Terraform as a close second

Our Baton Rouge, LA headquarters is home to a gently-demanding group of builders, designers, and problem-solvers at DE Shaw. We pair junior and senior folks on purpose so Team Leadership knowledge stops hoarding in one head.

Our offer to you: $64,000 - $94,000, a mentor, a benefits suite, and the latitude to grow your Attention to Detail into something senior.

This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
