The role

Trade your current backlog for ours: DE Shaw needs an Azure Engineer in Downey, CA to take Load Balancing systems from fragile to bulletproof. This role blends $112,000 - $151,000 pay with the autonomy to shape Jenkins work and a team that grows together.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design Serverless APIs other Downey, CA teams will still thank you for next year
  • Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that DE Shaw users feel every click
  • Develop and maintain RESTful APIs powering core DE Shaw products
  • Lead technical design reviews for mid-level technology initiatives
  • Translate the client-centric Serverless outage into fixes that make the next Downey launch dull

What You'll Bring

  • A Downey grounding, or the adaptability to plant roots quickly
  • A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
  • Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output
  • Clear thinking under the kind of pressure Downey, CA deadlines bring

DE Shaw spent 4 years in the trenches of technology so its clients across Downey, CA wouldn't have to. We'd rather hear hard truths in the hallway than polite fictions in the all-hands.

The compensation here starts at $112,000 - $151,000, paired with unlimited PTO and a manager committed to your professional growth.

Fresh as of this morning, DE Shaw marked the mid-level seat available.
