Pay Range : $50/hr - $55/hr

DayToDay Responsbilities:

• Start the day by checking overnight build and deployment pipelines in AWS (EC2, Batch, Glue) to make sure no failures or alerts are blocking the team.

• Review and respond to code review feedback on pull requests in Git, making sure changes align with design patterns and performance requirements.

• Join the daily standup with engineers, product managers, and sometimes aerospace specialists to sync on progress, blockers, and priorities.

• Pick up a sprint task — could be designing a new Java microservice to handle drone routing logic, or optimizing an existing one for lower latency.

• Write production-ready code, making sure it’s backed by unit tests and integration tests following TDD principles.

• Interact with RDBMS (PostgreSQL/MySQL) and NoSQL (MongoDB/Cassandra) databases — designing schemas, optimizing queries, or building new data pipelines.

• Collaborate with DevOps engineers to update or troubleshoot CI/CD workflows, ensuring smooth and automated deployments to AWS.

• Debug and profile distributed systems to resolve performance bottlenecks or production issues in live environments.

• Work closely with research teams to integrate algorithms or simulations into production services.

• Participate in design discussions and architecture reviews, weighing tradeoffs for scalability, fault tolerance, and cost.

• Document new systems, APIs, and operational runbooks so other engineers can build on or maintain your work.

• Wrap up by committing and pushing your code, tagging Jira tasks as complete, and prepping any next-day testing needs.
