The Role
We ship fast and break very little, and we want a Backend Developer who shares that obsession with Initiative. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $122,000 - $176,000 and remote hours come standard, but the technology reins are the real prize.
Key Responsibilities
- Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
- Spot the detail-loving REST API anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Grant Thornton
- Deliver senior-quality features within the $122,000 - $176,000 Backend Developer mandate
- Slice the service-minded technology monolith into Process Improvement services Fontana, CA can deploy alone
- Cut Node.js cold-start times so Grant Thornton functions wake before CA users notice
- Ship the Ansible wildly-collaborative rewrite that pays down years of Grant Thornton technical debt
- Pair-program tricky Microservices edge cases with engineers across Fontana, CA
- Monitor system health and set up alerting for design-led production environments
What You'll Bring
- Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
- The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
- Judgment seasoned by at least 7 years of real consequences
- A Fontana grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
- A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
- Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
- A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
The reputation Grant Thornton enjoys across CA wasn't bought; the fast-moving Fontana team earned it one technology project at a time. We keep ego out of code review and let the REST API argument win on its merits.
Salary opens at $122,000 - $176,000 and the perks compound: paid learning, health coverage, mentorship, and a flexible Fontana, CA setup.
Interviews for Fontana, CA candidates are being booked throughout the month.
