- Apply Empathy and Go to solve quality-focused engineering challenges
- Stitch Apache Kafka events into the Azure DevOps pipeline feeding StartupEdge's technology reports
- Translate fuzzy product wishes from StartupEdge stakeholders into shippable Azure DevOps services
- Slice the small-but-mighty technology monolith into Apache Kafka services Joplin, MO can deploy alone
What You'll Bring
- Real proficiency with Empathy, plus willingness to learn Ansible fast
- 5+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions
- The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
- Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
- Comfort owning technology decisions in a MO market
- 4+ years putting CloudFormation to work in a technology setting
- 5 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
We started StartupEdge in a Joplin garage because the technology status quo deserved a thoughtfully-bold reckoning. The StartupEdge promise is plain: clear expectations, real autonomy, and zero surprise reviews.
You'll be supported by $68,000 - $102,000, strong health coverage, conference budgets, and a team that promotes from within.
We stamped it current today; the freelance opening is genuinely accepting candidates.
Your Azure DevOps deserves a stage bigger than your current one, and StartupEdge has it.
