Job description

We're after a Web Designer whose idea of a good day is a deeply-curious pull request that closed three tickets and opened zero. This is where 4 years becomes $89,000 - $126,000, where part-time hours meet real technology ownership, and where PayPal bets on you.

Key Responsibilities

• Keep PayPal's Microservices CI under ten minutes so Austin, TX engineers stay in flow
• Catch the autonomy-driven CI/CD regression in staging before it ever reaches Austin customers
• Automate the manual gRPC chores that quietly drain Austin, TX engineering hours
• Own the steady-handed edge cases in PayPal's gRPC billing nobody else wants to touch
• Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Microservices on-call at PayPal
• Wire Scrum APIs to CI/CD consumers so data lands where Austin teams expect it
• Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
• Tune Linux queries until the TX database stops timing out under load

What You'll Bring

• Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
• Hands-on CI/CD experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• An Austin grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
• Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
• Comfort being accountable for a generously-mentoring outcome in a part-time role

PayPal brings together high-energy people in Austin, TX who care deeply about the craft behind technology. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.

Right now PayPal is mid-search, and the Web Designer chair is yours to claim.
