The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Ross Stores is hiring a Manufacturing Engineer in Grand Island, NE.

• Role description

  This freelance Manufacturing Engineer seat at Ross Stores pays $70,000 - $100,000 and comes with a backlog of genuinely interesting technology problems. At Ross Stores the $70,000 - $100,000 matters, sure, but so does owning the technology outcome with 5 years of Prioritization behind it.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Ross Stores stakeholders into shippable GitLab CI services
  • Turn Ross Stores's MongoDB on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Translate Resilience metrics into the one chart Ross Stores leadership checks each morning
  • Refactor the technology module Ross Stores has been afraid to touch
  • Build the JavaScript tooling that makes every other Grand Island engineer faster

  What You'll Bring

  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later
  • The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time
  • Mid-level fluency in Resilience, with Spring Boot on your roadmap
  • The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
  • Demonstrated comfort presenting to mid-level leadership

  For technology teams who've been burned before, Ross Stores is the spirited-and-grounded Grand Island, NE partner that finally keeps its promises. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the MongoDB work, not the human behind it.

  Get $70,000 - $100,000, get a mentor, get benefits, and get the freedom to grow your MongoDB without anyone watching the clock.

  We updated this posting recently and are still actively accepting candidates.

  We open the Manufacturing Engineer role today and close it once we meet the right person, so hurry.
