The opportunity timeline

• Overview

• Role description

  Our Game Developer role rewards the purpose-led habit of writing the test before you trust the feature, especially around Collaboration. A mid-level seat in TN that values Java, pays $75,000 - $99,000 for 4 years of it, and hands you the wheel early.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
  • Resurrect flaky Selenium tests until the Johnson City, TN suite is trustworthy again

  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that KKR users feel every click

  What You'll Bring

  • An eye for the high-trust detail that separates fine from finished
  • Proven aptitude for Java, ideally near Johnson City, TN
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • Resilience measured across 5 years of technology cycles

  A warm-yet-rigorous startup out of Johnson City, KKR is rethinking what technology software can be. Nobody at KKR will hover over your shoulder; we hand you the keys and trust you to drive.

  Your offer at KKR: $75,000 - $99,000, a mentor, generous benefits, and the Johnson City, TN flexibility to grow on your own clock.
