The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  StartupPlus Inc is hiring a Smart Contract Developer in Evanston, IL.

• Role description

  Our Smart Contract Developer role rewards the clarity-seeking habit of writing the test before you trust the feature, especially around PHP. At its core, this is a mid-level Smart Contract Developer job in IL that rewards 4 years with $88,000 - $127,000 and room to run.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Drive the Linux incident postmortem that stops the Evanston outage from recurring
  • Turn StartupPlus Inc's Linux on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Negotiate PostgreSQL tradeoffs with product when StartupPlus Inc timelines and reality collide
  • Pull StartupPlus Inc's Change Management stack out of the IL region before the migration deadline
  • Question the results-oriented Linux pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Keep StartupPlus Inc's Kafka dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
  • Apply Kotlin and Written Communication to solve joyfully-rigorous engineering challenges

  What You'll Bring

  • Mid-level-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • Familiarity with the Evanston market and local technology landscape
  • An Evanston network, or the hustle to build one from scratch
  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English

  Ask anyone in Evanston about StartupPlus Inc and you'll hear the same thing: a detail-loving crew that ships fast and sweats the Change Management details. We hire for character and small-but-mighty thinking, then trust the rest to follow.

  Sign on for $88,000 - $127,000, gain a growth path into technology, a personal mentor, and benefits that make Evanston feel like home.
