The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Ernst & Young is hiring a Release Engineer in Scranton, PA.

• Role description

  Ernst & Young is the kind of place where a junior's question can change the technology roadmap, and we want a Release Engineer who asks them. Weigh it however you like — the math still lands at $79,000 - $103,000, contract hours, and a team at Ernst & Young worth joining.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Defend Ernst & Young uptime through the 2 a.m. Scranton pages nobody volunteers for
  • Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Webpack on-call at Ernst & Young
  • Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Ernst & Young workloads
  • Replace the brittle GitHub Actions hack with a Git solution that survives Scranton scale
  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Scranton, PA and remote teams
  • Untangle the Webpack dependency knots that have slowed Scranton releases for months

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
  • Experience at the mid-level inside a contract role
  • Enough GitHub Actions to be dangerous, enough Ruby on Rails to be trusted
  • Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Scranton, PA deadlines bring
  • Steady-handed problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission

  Ernst & Young is where curious, steady-handed people come to build the future of technology. We prize follow-through: when someone here commits to something, the team can count on it.

  Combine $79,000 - $103,000 with growth, generous benefits, and a mentor, and you have the reason people stay at Ernst & Young for years.
