The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Unilever is hiring a Release Engineer in Scranton, PA.

• Role description

  Unilever is looking for a $75,000 - $114,000 Release Engineer to join our Scranton, PA office and accelerate our product roadmap. The Scranton role is less about the $75,000 - $114,000 and more about what 5 years of Kubernetes lets you own at Unilever.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Stand up observability so Unilever sees failures before customers in PA do
  • Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with MongoDB
  • Ship incremental improvements to Unilever's Scranton platform on a regular cadence
  • Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Unilever can explain
  • Translate gRPC metrics into the one chart Unilever leadership checks each morning

  What You'll Bring

  • 3+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
  • An eye for the transparent detail that separates fine from finished
  • Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support mid-level teammates
  • Clarity of thought that shows up in tidy documentation

  What began as two engineers and a whiteboard in Scranton is now Unilever, a gloriously-unglamorous team obsessed with getting Kubernetes right. Nobody at Unilever will hover over your shoulder; we hand you the keys and trust you to drive.

  We anchor everything in $75,000 - $114,000, then add mentorship, benefits, and the freedom to flex your freelance schedule around real life.

  We bumped the date today, signaling this Release Engineer search is ongoing.

  There's a mid-level role with your name on it at Unilever; come claim it.
