The Role

Code that ships to millions starts as a pull request on someone's screen, and at Content Advantage Group we want that someone to be our next Lead Software Engineer. From day one you own a slice of the technology mission, earn $190,000 - $281,000, and lean on 7 years to move fast.

Key Responsibilities

  • Decode the undocumented Next.js service nobody at Content Advantage Group remembers writing
  • Stand up observability so Content Advantage Group sees failures before customers in CA do
  • Stitch MySQL events into the Flexibility pipeline feeding Content Advantage Group's technology reports
  • Build Java self-service tools so Oakland teams stop filing tickets for everything
  • Walk technology stakeholders through Rust tradeoffs in language Content Advantage Group execs grasp

What You'll Bring

  • Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
  • Real curiosity about why Content Advantage Group customers do what they do
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • Proven Java results, ideally seasoned in Oakland, CA
  • A team player who lifts up colleagues and shares credit
  • The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly

At Content Advantage Group, the craft-obsessed Oakland crew believes technology should feel boring and reliable, never thrilling and fragile. You'll find a flat structure where the best argument wins, regardless of title.

Count on $190,000 - $281,000, remote-first flexibility, parental leave, and a stipend for the tools and courses you need.

This is an open, funded role that we intend to fill in the coming weeks.

Drop us your application and tell us, in your own words, why Content Advantage Group caught your eye.
