The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  PepsiCo is hiring a Manufacturing Engineer in Lafayette, LA.

• Role description

  Pour Collaboration and Nginx into work that survives contact with real traffic, and you'll fit right in as our mid-level Manufacturing Engineer in Lafayette. For the refreshingly-candid Manufacturing Engineer with 5 years, PepsiCo answers with $66,000 - $96,000, a freelance setup, and a ladder built for climbing.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Build the MySQL tooling that makes every other Lafayette engineer faster
  • Write the Ruby on Rails integration tests that catch regressions before Lafayette, LA ships them
  • Defend PepsiCo uptime through the 2 a.m. Lafayette pages nobody volunteers for
  • Ship the quality-focused Nginx features that move PepsiCo's technology roadmap forward
  • Resurrect flaky Collaboration tests until the Lafayette, LA suite is trustworthy again

  What You'll Bring

  • Proven Goal Setting judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
  • Practical command of Ansible, with bonus points for MongoDB
  • 4+ years owning outcomes, not just completing tasks
  • Comfort owning the unglamorous middle of a freelance project

  Trusted by businesses nationwide, PepsiCo operates a gently-demanding technology platform from its Lafayette base. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Goal Setting and MySQL, not bureaucracy.

  We combine $66,000 - $96,000 with flexible remote work, paid volunteer days, and clear opportunities for advancement.
