The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Cisco is hiring a Quality Engineer in Topeka, KS.

• Role description

  Cisco needs a Quality Engineer in KS who can argue passionately about Interpersonal Skills, then commit to whatever the team decides. The whole arrangement rewards initiative — $74,000 - $105,000 to start, technology ownership throughout, and Cisco backing every step.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Cisco stakeholders into shippable Jenkins services
  • Apply Interpersonal Skills and TypeScript to solve fiercely-supportive engineering challenges
  • Turn Cisco's Django on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Defend Cisco uptime through the 2 a.m. Topeka pages nobody volunteers for
  • Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Cisco workloads
  • Sketch the React architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
  • Scale Cisco's Jenkins services from Topeka pilot to KS-wide rollout
  • Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services

  What You'll Bring

  • An instinct for prioritization when everything is labeled urgent
  • Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
  • Written communication clear enough to survive a forwarded email chain
  • Roughly 6+ years operating in a similar Quality Engineer position
  • A Topeka network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • Practical MongoDB skills sharpened in an internship setting

  Everything Cisco ships starts as a spirited-and-grounded argument in a Topeka conference room about how Interpersonal Skills should really work. We give senior hires room to fail small so they can later succeed big on technology work.

  The $74,000 - $105,000 we offer comes attached to mentorship, a clear ladder, real benefits, and flexible internship days you can plan around.
