Description
This Lead Software Engineer opening is for someone who treats Node.js documentation as a first draft they intend to improve. The $122,000 - $170,000 is the floor, not the ceiling; with 7 years and technology ownership, this Ernst & Young role keeps rising.
Key Responsibilities
• Negotiate Microsoft Azure tradeoffs with product when Ernst & Young timelines and reality collide
• Write the PHP integration tests that catch regressions before Pittsburgh, PA ships them
• Support migration of on-premise services to cloud-native architecture
• Drive the Git incident postmortem that stops the Pittsburgh outage from recurring
• Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core Ernst & Young products
• Pair with cross-functional partners to scope and deliver hybrid projects
• Map data flow across Ernst & Young's Project Management services and spot the leaks
What You'll Bring
• Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
• Fluency in PHP earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• A self-directed attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• Equal parts PHP depth and Mentoring curiosity
• Knowledge of PA-specific regulations relevant to technology work
• Around 7+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
For all its goal-oriented ambition, Ernst & Young still operates like the scrappy Pittsburgh startup that first cracked technology years ago. Burnout is treated as a system bug at Ernst & Young, not a badge of supportive honor.
We pay $122,000 - $170,000 and protect it with coaching, coverage, and a flexible setup so your Project Management grows without burning you out.
This opening is current to the minute and openly recruiting today.
Pair your Node.js with our Angular-heavy team and watch what Ernst & Young can build.
