Job description

This is a chance to ship code that matters, working with Java on systems serving high-traffic workloads. What makes this ByteWorks role different is the ownership; the $72,000 - $104,000 and internship hours are just the entry fee.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Selenium and Django
• Translate technology compliance rules into Stakeholder Management guardrails baked into the build
• Decode the undocumented Django service nobody at ByteWorks remembers writing
• Profile Cross-Functional Collaboration memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Stamford nodes
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver internship projects
• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Selenium-based applications

What You'll Bring

• A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
• Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
• 1 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
• Proven Nginx results, ideally seasoned in Stamford, CT

Founded in Stamford, CT during a downturn, ByteWorks grew learning-obsessed and lean while flashier technology rivals burned out. We default to documenting decisions so CT and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

The offer rewards both ends, $72,000 - $104,000 for your Stakeholder Management today and mentorship for the junior leader you become tomorrow.

Freshly verified active, this junior Software Engineer position is accepting candidates now.

Don't let a low-drama Software Engineer opening in Stamford become the one that got away.
