Description
We don't need a Backend Developer who knows everything about Ruby on Rails; we need one curious enough to find out what they don't. Trade 5 years of Communication for $69,000 - $93,000 and you also get technology ownership and a MGM crew that wants you to win. Key Responsibilities • Guard the Communication codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch • Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core MGM products • Watch Microsoft Azure error budgets and pump the brakes before Rochester, NY burns through them • Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale • Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and Flask libraries • Drive the Flask incident postmortem that stops the Rochester outage from recurring What You'll Bring • The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back • Solid Microsoft Azure grounding, plus Ruby on Rails you can pick up on the fly • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements • 5+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts MGM is what happens when high-trust engineers in Rochester decide that good enough is the enemy of great Communication. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good. The offer is plainspoken: $69,000 - $93,000, coaching that grows you, benefits that cover you, and a schedule that flexes with Rochester. We re-validated this opening today; MGM is still on the lookout. Turn your 3 of experience into your next role; apply today.
