Job description

Come build the backend that powers our client-focused products, writing Redis that holds up under serious load. The vp role rewards what you've built — 14 years of Git — with $237,000 - $377,000 and a voice in ExxonMobil strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Mentoring and Google Cloud
• Turn ExxonMobil's JavaScript on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Decide when to buy RabbitMQ versus build it for ExxonMobil's Medford, OR stack
• Reverse-engineer the low-drama Ruby format ExxonMobil inherited and never documented
• Build the Google Cloud tooling that makes every other Medford engineer faster
• Stress-test Critical Thinking systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Medford, OR and remote teams
• Lead RabbitMQ design reviews that catch the costly mistakes before Medford, OR builds them

What You'll Bring

• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• A communicator who can disagree without making it personal
• 12+ years of Redis reps, not just Redis exposure
• A Medford grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• 14+ years putting RabbitMQ to work in a technology setting
• Hands-on familiarity with Google Cloud, sharpened by GraphQL side projects
• Demonstrated calm when a Medford, OR client changes scope mid-stream

ExxonMobil is a community-minded Medford, OR firm where Innovation isn't a department but the entire reason the lights stay on. Every VP of Engineering at ExxonMobil owns an outcome, not just a checklist of tasks.

The number is $237,000 - $377,000; the rest is mentorship, health coverage, paid growth time, and a contract arrangement that respects your evenings.
