The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Emerson is hiring a Cloud Engineer in Wilmington, NC.

• Role description

  Emerson builds mentorship-focused products used by teams worldwide, and we need a Cloud Engineer to push our platform to the next level. This quietly-excellent role offers $79,000 - $112,000, full ownership of Elasticsearch projects, and the support of a team that ships together.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Emerson users feel every click
  • Map data flow across Emerson's Stakeholder Management services and spot the leaks
  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Own the outcome-focused edge cases in Emerson's Google Cloud Platform billing nobody else wants to touch
  • Spot the employee-centric CKA Certification anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Emerson
  • Automate the manual Persuasion chores that quietly drain Wilmington, NC engineering hours
  • Write the Stakeholder Management integration tests that catch regressions before Wilmington, NC ships them

  What You'll Bring

  • Proven Stakeholder Management judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
  • Familiarity with the rhythms of a high-energy contract team
  • Experience thriving in a playfully-serious, deadline-driven setting like Emerson
  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision

  From its base in Wilmington, NC, Emerson has spent the last decade making CKA Certification dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. We keep ego out of code review and let the Serverless argument win on its merits.

  The number is $79,000 - $112,000; the rest is mentorship, health coverage, paid growth time, and a contract arrangement that respects your evenings.
