The Role

Kinder Morgan is looking for a $72,000 - $109,000 Process Engineer to join our Lake Charles, LA office and accelerate our product roadmap. Consider it a $72,000 - $109,000 foothold at Kinder Morgan, where 5 years of Spring Boot converts straight into technology ownership.

Key Responsibilities

  • Decide when to buy .NET Core versus build it for Kinder Morgan's Lake Charles, LA stack
  • Build the quietly-ambitious Growth Mindset feature that wins back the LA accounts Kinder Morgan lost
  • Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Kinder Morgan's growing user base
  • Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
  • Tune database queries and schemas for high-throughput Kinder Morgan workloads
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture

What You'll Bring

  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
  • Working understanding of both Critical Thinking and Agile in real-world settings
  • Reliable, accountable, and committed to following through
  • Question-everything problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • 3 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it

Kinder Morgan grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Lake Charles room into the technology partner much of LA now trusts. A mid-level engineer and a director debate Swift ideas on equal footing in our Lake Charles standups.

Pay starts strong at $72,000 - $109,000, mentorship runs deep, and the road from mid-level to lead is paved with real benefits.
