The role

InnovateNow pairs fast-paced engineering challenges with the autonomy to solve them, and we need a Game Developer to dive in. From day one you own a slice of the technology mission, earn $88,000 - $130,000, and lean on 4 years to move fast.

Key Responsibilities

  • Reach into legacy Next.js modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Deliver mid-level-quality features within the $88,000 - $130,000 Game Developer mandate
  • Keep InnovateNow's Python dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents
  • Translate C# metrics into the one chart InnovateNow leadership checks each morning
  • Keep the MySQL build pipeline green so Portland deploys never wait on a red light
  • Negotiate MySQL tradeoffs with product when InnovateNow timelines and reality collide

What You'll Bring

  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • 4+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts
  • Knowledge of OR-specific regulations relevant to technology work
  • Strong working knowledge of C# and Attention to Detail
  • Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • Mid-level fluency in MySQL, with Next.js on your roadmap
