• Role description

  Johns Hopkins needs a Software Engineer in CA who can argue passionately about Node.js, then commit to whatever the team decides. The structure is built for growth: $66,000 - $102,000 now, technology ownership soon, and a Johns Hopkins ladder that keeps adding rungs.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Wire Swift APIs to JavaScript consumers so data lands where Lancaster teams expect it
  • Apply Interpersonal Skills and Microsoft Azure to solve playfully-serious engineering challenges
  • Build the RabbitMQ tooling that makes every other Lancaster engineer faster
  • Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the Johns Hopkins stack
  • Trim Johns Hopkins's cloud bill by right-sizing the Microsoft Azure infrastructure in Lancaster, CA
  • Question the unpretentious JavaScript pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Johns Hopkins's growing user base
  • Resurrect flaky RabbitMQ tests until the Lancaster, CA suite is trustworthy again

  What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on Tailwind CSS experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • 1+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions
  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a junior capacity

  The generously-mentoring people at Johns Hopkins have spent years proving that world-class JavaScript can absolutely come out of Lancaster. Recognition here is specific and frequent, not saved up for some annual Lancaster, CA ceremony.

  We are offering $66,000 - $102,000, a clear growth track, hands-on mentorship, and the kind of flexibility that keeps CA talent happy.
