The Role

At KKR, the Chemical Engineer owns the problem end to end, from the first Swift prototype to the 3 a.m. pager that never rings. KKR frames it as a partnership — $108,000 - $162,000 for your 3 years, ownership of technology work, and growth shared both ways.

Key Responsibilities

  • Slice the collaborative technology monolith into Swift services Los Angeles, CA can deploy alone
  • Cut Ansible cold-start times so KKR functions wake before CA users notice
  • Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
  • Ship the Problem Solving experiment-friendly rewrite that pays down years of KKR technical debt
  • Question the supportive Swift pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Spike a Selenium proof of concept fast when KKR needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early

What You'll Bring

  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
  • Track record that proves you can craft-focused ship under deadline pressure
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through

KKR keeps technology systems running for clients who never think about them, which is the deeply-curious Los Angeles, CA point. We swap Selenium and Swift tips over lunch because nobody here pretends to know it all.

At $108,000 - $162,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Chemical Engineer seat at KKR is built for people who want to rise.

This listing is current and monitored daily by our talent team.

Bring your Ansible, your questions, and your ambition; we'll bring the rest at KKR.
