The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Mercedes-Benz is hiring a Node.js Developer in Rochester, NY.

• Role description

  We believe great engineers ship great software, so we are hiring a Node.js Developer who lives and breathes JavaScript. The deal favors the seasoned — 1 years earns $50,000 - $69,000, a contract arrangement, and a technology charter you'll actually own.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Innovation
  • Containerize applications and manage deployments with Python and Tailwind CSS
  • Chase down the Terraform integration that silently drops Mercedes-Benz events at midnight
  • Harden Mercedes-Benz's AWS auth so the NY audit comes back clean
  • Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
  • Reproduce the purpose-led bug from the Rochester field report, then make it impossible again
  • Drive adoption of best practices in testing, security, and observability

  What You'll Bring

  • Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
  • 1+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts
  • Familiarity with Mercedes-Benz-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
  • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
  • Practical Tailwind CSS skills sharpened in a contract setting

  Most of Mercedes-Benz still fits in one Rochester building, and that ambitious closeness is exactly why its technology work stays sharp. The team trusts each other to do the right thing without constant oversight or micromanagement.

  Expect $50,000 - $69,000 plus full medical, dental, and vision benefits, generous paid time off, and real mentorship from day one.

  Demand on the technology team has us moving fast to fill this seat.
