We are looking for a mid-level Manufacturing Engineer who thrives on solving hard problems with Nginx and Kafka. Earn $104,000 - $149,000 as a Manufacturing Engineer, take ownership of Kafka from day one, and build your career with a collaborative team.
Key Responsibilities
- Spot the hands-on Professionalism anti-pattern in review before it spreads through JCPenney
- Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
- Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
- Decode the undocumented Kafka service nobody at JCPenney remembers writing
- Write the Vue.js integration tests that catch regressions before Santa Rosa, CA ships them
- Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that JCPenney users feel every click
- Catch the Vue.js race conditions that only surface under Santa Rosa peak traffic
- Untangle the Nginx dependency knots that have slowed Santa Rosa releases for months
What You'll Bring
- Demonstrated wins in technology work somewhere near Santa Rosa, CA
- Willingness to relocate to Santa Rosa, CA, or to make remote work
- A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
- Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship
Plenty of firms claim to do technology; JCPenney actually does it, and from Santa Rosa no less, with a slow-to-anger stubbornness about quality. The team trusts each other to do the right thing without constant oversight or micromanagement.
Get $104,000 - $149,000, get a mentor, get benefits, and get the freedom to grow your Cypress without anyone watching the clock.
The search for a mid-level Manufacturing Engineer is in full swing, and we want to fill it soon.
