DataWave Corp pairs genuinely-flexible engineering challenges with the autonomy to solve them, and we need a Game Developer to dive in. The proposition holds together — $103,000 - $146,000, 5 years, a PA base, and ownership the rest of the market rarely grants.
Key Responsibilities
- Decode the undocumented Empathy service nobody at DataWave Corp remembers writing
- Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
- Question the team-oriented Go pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
- Translate fuzzy product wishes from DataWave Corp stakeholders into shippable Empathy services
- Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at DataWave Corp can explain
- Turn DataWave Corp's Redis on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
- Refine and maintain microservices that support DataWave Corp customers in Pittsburgh, PA
What You'll Bring
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL alongside transferable Ruby on Rails chops
- Hands-on experience with modern Redis workflows and tooling
- The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
- Willingness to relocate to Pittsburgh, PA, or to make remote work
- Comfort with the contract cadence of a Pittsburgh-based operation
- The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
For technology teams who've been burned before, DataWave Corp is the low-drama Pittsburgh, PA partner that finally keeps its promises. We celebrate the person who asks the dumb question that saves the whole technology project.
Earn a $103,000 - $146,000 base while a mentor accelerates your jump from senior to lead, with benefits and flexibility along for the ride.
