The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Production Systems Group is hiring a Lead Software Engineer in Fort Collins, CO.

• Role description

  Production Systems Group is the kind of place where a junior's question can change the technology roadmap, and we want a Lead Software Engineer who asks them. Join Production Systems Group as a freelance Lead Software Engineer and take real ownership of Docker work while earning $127,000 - $184,000 and growing your craft.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Chase down the Docker integration that silently drops Production Systems Group events at midnight
  • Build the Professionalism tooling that makes every other Fort Collins engineer faster
  • Profile Kubernetes memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Fort Collins nodes
  • Own the empowering Professionalism subsystem that the rest of Production Systems Group quietly depends on
  • Pull React telemetry into dashboards Production Systems Group leaders actually open
  • Stitch Docker events into the Professionalism pipeline feeding Production Systems Group's technology reports
  • Reach into legacy Webpack modules and leave them cleaner than you found them

  What You'll Bring

  • A CO sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
  • A Production Systems Group mindset: scrappy today, scalable tomorrow
  • 9+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • Working understanding of both Kubernetes and Professionalism in real-world settings
  • A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny

  Production Systems Group has become the service-minded name technology buyers across CO bring up when someone asks who actually knows Docker. We celebrate Kubernetes craftsmanship and hold ourselves to a high bar on the details that matter.

  At $127,000 - $184,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Lead Software Engineer seat at Production Systems Group is built for people who want to rise.

  The team in Fort Collins is interviewing on a rolling basis, so early applicants get noticed first.
