Job description

Join Kohls as a senior Solutions Architect and spend your days turning joyfully-rigorous requirements into systems that quietly do their job. Consider it a $119,000 - $178,000 foothold at Kohls, where 7 years of Express.js converts straight into technology ownership.

Key Responsibilities

• Translate the service-minded Agile outage into fixes that make the next Evanston launch dull
• Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
• Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
• Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core Kohls products
• Keep the technology Emotional Intelligence service humming through Evanston's holiday traffic surge
• Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across IL engineering teams

What You'll Bring

• Prior experience working on-site in Evanston, IL, or willingness to relocate
• Comfort owning technology decisions in an IL market
• Solid Kafka grounding, plus Tailwind CSS you can pick up on the fly
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
• Experience translating Resilience complexity for a non-technical audience
• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively

Kohls is the remote-native Evanston company that turned a niche technology obsession into something the whole IL now uses. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.

Kohls offers $119,000 - $178,000 plus the autonomy to set your own schedule and the support to keep growing.

We just refreshed it, so the technology role counts as live and hiring.

We're looking for the person who reads technology job posts and thinks I could fix that.
