The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  TechNova Group is hiring a Safety Engineer in Owensboro, KY.

• Role description

  You can write Kafka that works or Linux that lasts; our Safety Engineer role at TechNova Group is for engineers who insist on both. This contract opening offers $67,000 - $96,000, the autonomy to run your own projects, and a team invested in your development.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Stand up observability so TechNova Group sees failures before customers in KY do
  • Own the mid-level Microservices workstream that unblocks the rest of TechNova Group's Owensboro, KY roadmap
  • Implement secure authentication and authorization flows using Microsoft Azure
  • Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at TechNova Group can explain
  • Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
  • Tune Kafka caching so TechNova Group survives the Owensboro launch spike on the same hardware
  • Question the forward-thinking .NET Core pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
  • A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
  • An eye for the nimble detail that separates fine from finished
  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • A KY work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway

  A sharp-but-gentle Owensboro, KY company through, TechNova Group measures success by how invisible its technology systems become. We move fast on Microsoft Azure but slow down whenever someone says they feel rushed past good judgment.

  Lead with the number, $67,000 - $96,000, then add a growth track, a mentor, full benefits, and hours that bend toward your Owensboro life.

  As recently as today, TechNova Group reopened the doors on this one.

  Go ahead and apply; the worst that happens is TechNova Group learns your name.
