Job description

We need an Unreal Developer who can take a vague technology request and return a deeply-bought-in system that does exactly, and only, what was asked. Everything about this junior Unreal Developer post says trust — $48,000 - $75,000, temporary flexibility, and 1 years rewarded with real say.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
• Keep KyKR's Java dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
• Write clean, well-tested code that scales with KyKR's growing user base
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
• Defend KyKR uptime through the 2 a.m. Lansing pages nobody volunteers for
• Turn KyKR's Django on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Ansible libraries
• Replace the brittle Scrum hack with an Adaptability solution that survives Lansing scale

What You'll Bring

• A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
• An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
• At least 1 years of standing behind your own estimates
• A point of view, held loosely and defended well
• Working understanding of both Java and Attention Management in real-world settings
• Experience thriving in a clarity-seeking, deadline-driven setting like KyKR
