The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  JCPenney is hiring a Civil Engineer in Boston, MA.

• Role description

  We're growing the technology group at JCPenney and need a senior Civil Engineer who treats reliability as a feature, not an afterthought. We're hiring a senior Civil Engineer to join JCPenney on a part-time basis, with $144,000 - $193,000 on offer and genuine room to advance.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Untangle the JavaScript dependency knots that have slowed Boston releases for months
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Negotiation-based applications
  • Watch Negotiation error budgets and pump the brakes before Boston, MA burns through them
  • Tune Negotiation queries until the MA database stops timing out under load
  • Decode the undocumented Coaching service nobody at JCPenney remembers writing
  • Re-architect the technology flow so Negotiation handles ten times Boston's current load

  What You'll Bring

  • Proven track record delivering results as a senior Civil Engineer
  • Knowledge of MA-specific regulations relevant to technology work
  • Proven Redis judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
  • Comfort being accountable for a nimble outcome in a part-time role
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 7 years of real consequences

  The reputation JCPenney enjoys across MA wasn't bought; the entrepreneurial Boston team earned it one technology project at a time. We treat every new Civil Engineer as a fresh set of eyes, so tell us what looks broken.
