Job description

Half craft, half stubbornness, our Software Engineer role asks you to make Nginx systems behave under pressure they were never promised. InnovateLab frames it as a partnership — $46,000 - $75,000 for your 1 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

Key Responsibilities

• Pull Node.js telemetry into dashboards InnovateLab leaders actually open
• Profile Node.js memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Great Falls nodes
• Bridge Kubernetes and Java so the two halves of InnovateLab's platform finally talk
• Stress-test Kubernetes systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
• Keep InnovateLab's AWS CI under ten minutes so Great Falls, MT engineers stay in flow
• Own the junior Work-Life Balance workstream that unblocks the rest of InnovateLab's Great Falls, MT roadmap
• Spike an AWS proof of concept fast when InnovateLab needs a yes-or-no answer

What You'll Bring

• A hands-dirty bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
• Eagerness to take ownership and run with new responsibilities
• 1 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of an internship project
• Judgment seasoned by at least 1 years of real consequences
• 1 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• A mission-driven attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
