The Role

The Solutions Architect we're hiring will inherit a technology codebase with good bones and a few skeletons; Kohls is honest about both. Earn $63,000 - $93,000 as a Solutions Architect, take ownership of Jest from day one, and build your career with a collaborative team.

Key Responsibilities

  • Automate the manual GraphQL chores that quietly drain Aurora, IL engineering hours
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Containerize applications and manage deployments with Creativity and Django
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for empowering production environments
  • Refactor the technology module Kohls has been afraid to touch

What You'll Bring

  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • Resilience measured across 1 years of technology cycles
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a junior capacity
  • Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level

Kohls writes the software that keeps technology operations humming, all of it engineered in Aurora, IL by a transparent bunch. Our IL team treats transparency as a feature, sharing the messy middle, not just the wins.

Pay is $63,000 - $93,000, growth is structured, mentorship is personal, and the flexible hybrid schedule is non-negotiable in your favor.

Still hiring, still current, still waiting for someone like you.

Apply now and a real person from Kohls will get back to you, not an autoresponder.
