The Role

Ready to work on real distributed systems? Big Lots is adding an Electrical Engineer skilled in Swift to the technology team. Match 4 years and Terraform to this Frederick job and you unlock $86,000 - $119,000, a part-time schedule, and steady upward room.

Key Responsibilities

  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Big Lots users feel every click
  • Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within Big Lots
  • Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
  • Refine and maintain microservices that support Big Lots customers in Frederick, MD
  • Re-architect the technology flow so Terraform handles ten times Frederick's current load
  • Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the Big Lots stack
  • Mentor the mid-level cohort through their first real Terraform on-call at Big Lots

What You'll Bring

  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • Comfort presenting to a MD-wide audience without a script
  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before

Where most technology vendors automate the easy parts, Big Lots tackles the hard ones, from a ruthlessly-focused headquarters in Frederick, MD. We hold space for disagreement, then commit fully once the technology call is made.

Big Lots offers $86,000 - $119,000 plus the autonomy to set your own schedule and the support to keep growing.

Freshly active this morning, the mid-level Electrical Engineer role wants candidates now.
