The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Dollar Tree is hiring a Go Developer in Bridgeport, CT.

• Role description

  The Go Developer we want has shipped Next.js to production, broken it, and learned more from the second part than the first. Few Bridgeport employers pair $89,000 - $118,000 with this much technology autonomy, and fewer still ask only 5 years to earn it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Dollar Tree can explain
  • Own the full lifecycle of technology systems from prototype to production
  • Trim Dollar Tree's cloud bill by right-sizing the PostgreSQL infrastructure in Bridgeport, CT
  • Build the growth-minded Next.js feature that wins back the CT accounts Dollar Tree lost
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for hands-dirty production environments

  What You'll Bring

  • A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
  • The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a mid-level capacity
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • A track record of refreshingly-candid delivery in a freelance structure
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation

  Out of a converted warehouse in Bridgeport, Dollar Tree has quietly grown into a deeply collaborative force shaping how technology gets done. We give people autonomy early and trust them to ask for support when they need it.

  Our Dollar Tree offer leans on substance: $89,000 - $118,000, mentorship, benefits, and a flexible schedule that respects Bridgeport life.
