• Experience with Git and software build, packaging, artifact management, and CI tools such as Maven, Gradle, npm, Artifactory, Jenkins, or comparable technologies.
• Experience working in Agile software development environments, including paired programming or collaborative engineering models.
• Strong understanding of test-driven development and experience writing unit and automated tests that provide comprehensive application coverage.
• Demonstrated problem-solving and analytical abilities, including the capacity to investigate application performance issues and identify practical solutions.
• Experience with Python is a plus.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to contribute effectively to technical discussions and cross-functional team environments.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience. Candidates without a degree should have additional specialized training and/or progressively responsible technology experience equivalent to the required education.

• Fully remote work environment within the United States.
• Competitive annual compensation of $85,000–$145,075, based on experience and qualifications.
• Comprehensive technology setup for remote work, including a laptop, monitors, headset, keyboard, and mouse.
