The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  StartupEdge is hiring a Senior Software Engineer in Topeka, KS.

• Role description

  Come own the technology pipeline at StartupEdge, where the Senior Software Engineer we hire in Topeka gets real authority and a real on-call rotation. Bring the relentlessly curious energy and 6 years; StartupEdge brings $80,000 - $109,000, a Topeka base, and room to grow into more.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Harden StartupEdge's REST API auth so the KS audit comes back clean
  • Mentor the senior cohort through their first real Leadership on-call at StartupEdge
  • Own the maker-minded RabbitMQ subsystem that the rest of StartupEdge quietly depends on
  • Trace a fast-growing technology bug across three Swift services to the one bad line
  • Keep the People Management build pipeline green so Topeka deploys never wait on a red light
  • Resurrect flaky Swift tests until the Topeka, KS suite is trustworthy again
  • Containerize applications and manage deployments with REST API and C#

  What You'll Bring

  • Calm under the delightfully-weird chaos a senior role tends to generate
  • 6 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
  • Working knowledge of Swift alongside transferable RabbitMQ chops
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake

  StartupEdge is less a vendor and more a people-centered Topeka, KS workshop where React and Leadership get the attention they deserve. The fastest way to earn standing at StartupEdge is to make a teammate's hard problem disappear.

  For this Senior Software Engineer role we offer $80,000 - $109,000, a mentor who has walked the path, and benefits designed for life outside StartupEdge.

  Stamped current this morning, the temporary opportunity awaits your application.
