The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Chevron is hiring a Lead Software Engineer in Kearney, NE.

• Role description

  The Lead Software Engineer we hire will help Chevron pay down years of technical debt without anyone calling it a rewrite, using PHP sparingly and well. Lean on 7+ years of technology expertise to own projects, collaborate with a sharp team, and earn $117,000 - $166,000.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Profile Google Cloud memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Kearney nodes
  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity
  • Own the feedback-driven Git subsystem that the rest of Chevron quietly depends on
  • Wire up Process Improvement feature flags so Chevron can test on Kearney traffic risk-free
  • Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver hybrid projects
  • Scale Chevron's MySQL services from Kearney pilot to NE-wide rollout
  • Pull Chevron's Git stack out of the NE region before the migration deadline
  • Refactor the technology module Chevron has been afraid to touch

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • Resilience measured across 9 years of technology cycles
  • Hands-on proficiency with Git, ideally paired with Process Improvement

  Half the technology platforms in NE quietly depend on something Chevron built in Kearney with feedback-driven care. Our team in NE keeps a running list of what we'd do differently, and we actually act on it.

  We pay $117,000 - $166,000 for this technology position and back it with mentorship, flexibility, and real growth opportunities.
