The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Volkswagen is hiring a Electrical Engineer in Portland, ME.

• Role description

  We believe the best technology engineers ask why before they ask how, and that's the Electrical Engineer we're recruiting in Portland. With 5 years of experience under your belt, you'll step into a hybrid position paying $75,000 - $112,000 where ownership and momentum matter.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Resurrect flaky Attention Management tests until the Portland, ME suite is trustworthy again
  • Build Django dashboards so Volkswagen's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
  • Refactor the technology module Volkswagen has been afraid to touch
  • Question the warm-yet-rigorous Organization pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability
  • Sketch the Elasticsearch architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
  • Replace the brittle Kotlin hack with a Terraform solution that survives Portland scale

  What You'll Bring

  • 4+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
  • Familiarity with Elasticsearch and related tools or frameworks
  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback

  Volkswagen sits at the intersection of Attention Management and Organization, quietly powering technology workflows from its Portland base. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.

  At Volkswagen, $75,000 - $112,000 comes with equity, learning stipends, and a flexible culture built around trust and growth.

  Candidate outreach for this technology opening is happening as we speak.
