The Role

Ross Stores is hiring a Backend Developer to design, build, and ship software that serves millions of users every day. This technology role at Ross Stores turns 4 years into $112,000 - $162,000 and turns $112,000 - $162,000 into a stake in what comes next.

Key Responsibilities

  • Keep Ross Stores's CI/CD CI under ten minutes so Glendale, CA engineers stay in flow
  • Sketch the Interpersonal Skills architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
  • Keep the technology Rust service humming through Glendale's holiday traffic surge
  • Decide when to buy MySQL versus build it for Ross Stores's Glendale, CA stack
  • Translate the ego-light MySQL outage into fixes that make the next Glendale launch dull
  • Build the mentorship-focused Cross-Functional Collaboration feature that wins back the CA accounts Ross Stores lost
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Stress-test Tailwind CSS systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked

What You'll Bring

  • The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
  • Mid-level fluency in Rust, with Interpersonal Skills on your roadmap
  • Real CI/CD chops, plus the MySQL curiosity to keep growing
  • Solid RabbitMQ grounding, plus Analytical Thinking you can pick up on the fly

From its base in Glendale, CA, Ross Stores has spent the last decade making Cross-Functional Collaboration dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. Ownership runs deep here: you'll own outcomes, not just tasks, from your first week as a Backend Developer.

The salary is $112,000 - $162,000, the mentorship is hands-on, the benefits are real, and the flexibility is the part you will brag about.

Current and accurate as of this visit, the temporary opening stands ready.

If steady temporary work with real stakes appeals to you, the Backend Developer chair is waiting.
