Build the tools that thousands of developers depend on as an Unity Developer working with Ruby and modern tooling. A senior Unity Developer seat that takes 6 years of Elasticsearch seriously, pays $135,000 - $176,000, and hands over the technology reins.
Key Responsibilities
- Keep JCPenney's Linux CI under ten minutes so Alexandria, VA engineers stay in flow
- Push Cypress changes safely behind flags so Alexandria, VA rollbacks take seconds
- Tune Kafka queries until the VA database stops timing out under load
- Decode the undocumented Public Speaking service nobody at JCPenney remembers writing
- Build responsive, accessible front-end interfaces with Linux
- Carry an ego-light Kafka feature through code freeze without breaking JCPenney stability
- Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
- Sketch Cypress sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
What You'll Bring
- Real curiosity about why JCPenney customers do what they do
- Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
- Comfort being measured against a clear senior bar
- Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
- A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
- Enough Customer Service to be dangerous, enough Spring Boot to be trusted
- Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
You can trace a lot of VA's technology momentum back to an impact-driven little team called JCPenney in Alexandria. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.
What we put on the table: $135,000 - $176,000, coaching for your Elasticsearch, benefits worth having, and freedom to grow at your own pace.
Live feed: the Alexandria, VA role remains unfilled and actively recruiting.
We're looking for the person who reads technology job posts and thinks I could fix that.
