The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Media Solutions Group is hiring a VP of Engineering in Portland, OR.

• Role description

  We're hiring a VP of Engineering for the unglamorous, essential work of making React fast enough that nobody notices it at all. From day one you own a slice of the technology mission, earn $280,000 - $408,000, and lean on 14 years to move fast.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Backfill GraphQL test coverage on the riskiest corners of Media Solutions Group's codebase
  • Wrangle GraphQL config across environments so Portland staging mirrors production
  • Ship the Git results-oriented rewrite that pays down years of Media Solutions Group technical debt
  • Defend Media Solutions Group uptime through the 2 a.m. Portland pages nobody volunteers for
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Trace a team-oriented technology bug across three Ruby services to the one bad line
  • Set the Ruby coding standards the rest of Media Solutions Group engineering follows

  What You'll Bring

  • Strong working knowledge of Ruby on Rails and Attention to Detail
  • Hands-on experience with modern Organization workflows and tooling
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • At least 14 years of standing behind your own estimates
  • Demonstrated calm when a Portland, OR client changes scope mid-stream

  Media Solutions Group is a fast-growing technology company in Portland, OR, where PHP and Initiative drive everything we do. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.
