The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Starbucks is hiring a AWS Engineer in New Haven, CT.

• Role description

  The AWS Engineer we hire will help Starbucks pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using Nginx sparingly and well. Sum it up however you want — full-time AWS Engineer, $62,000 - $93,000, 1 years of Apache Kafka, and a stake in Starbucks that only deepens.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Trace a slow-to-anger technology bug across three Bash Scripting services to the one bad line
  • Decode the undocumented Networking service nobody at Starbucks remembers writing
  • Apply Networking and Nginx to solve team-oriented engineering challenges
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Starbucks
  • Sketch the PostgreSQL architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing

  What You'll Bring

  • Demonstrated Facilitation expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
  • Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards
