The Role

You can write Kotlin that works or Vue.js that lasts; our Process Engineer role at Public Affairs Institute is for engineers who insist on both. At its core, this is a mid-level Process Engineer job in MD that rewards 4 years with $93,000 - $135,000 and room to run.

Key Responsibilities

  • Untangle the Django dependency knots that have slowed Annapolis releases for months
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
  • Translate team-oriented business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
  • Tune Angular queries until the MD database stops timing out under load
  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Public Affairs Institute users feel every click
  • Read the Django stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root

What You'll Bring

  • Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • The kind of attention to detail that catches what spell-check misses
  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • A MD sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
  • Practical Vue.js skills sharpened in a contract setting

Public Affairs Institute builds the unglamorous technology plumbing that Annapolis, MD relies on, and it does so with gently-demanding pride. We give mid-level hires room to fail small so they can later succeed big on technology work.

What you get for saying yes: $93,000 - $135,000, a mentor in your corner, full benefits, and hours that flex toward what matters in Annapolis.

Your Kotlin deserves a stage bigger than your current one, and Public Affairs Institute has it.
