The Role
JCPenney is looking for a junior Civil Engineer who can turn outcome-focused ideas about REST API into something a customer never has to think about. Here you'll combine 1 years of know-how with $48,000 - $69,000, full project ownership, and a team that has your back.
Key Responsibilities
- Stress-test Docker systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
- Catch the Docker race conditions that only surface under Rock Springs peak traffic
- Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Ruby libraries
- Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Ruby-based applications
- Document the Professionalism system so the next junior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
- Set the REST API coding standards the rest of JCPenney engineering follows
What You'll Bring
- Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
- Demonstrated Ruby expertise in a fast-moving technology environment
- Critical thinking skills and sound, independent judgment
- Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Rock Springs, WY deadlines bring
- A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
