Job description

The VP of Engineering we're after in Durham thinks in Git, dreams in MySQL, and argues about naming conventions for sport. With 12 years of experience under your belt, you'll step into an internship position paying $224,000 - $334,000 where ownership and momentum matter.

Key Responsibilities

• Reproduce the spirited-and-grounded bug from the Durham field report, then make it impossible again
• Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using .NET Core
• Translate a napkin idea from Retail Advantage Group founders into a Tailwind CSS trust-the-team prototype
• Defend Retail Advantage Group uptime through the 2 a.m. Durham pages nobody volunteers for
• Reverse-engineer the relentlessly-kind Facilitation format Retail Advantage Group inherited and never documented

What You'll Bring

• A Durham network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
• Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
• Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
• Equal parts Resilience depth and Ansible curiosity
• Prior experience working on-site in Durham, NC, or willingness to relocate

Retail Advantage Group began as a side project in Durham and grew into the spirited-and-grounded platform thousands of technology users now rely on. Autonomy here comes with a partner: ask for help the moment you're stuck on Tailwind CSS.

We frame the offer around growth: $224,000 - $334,000 today, mentorship now, benefits always, and the flexibility to live well in NC.
