Our Quality Engineer opening rewards depth over breadth: pick Ruby, go deep, and let Civic Innovation Lab handle the rest of the stack. Own your projects, earn $69,000 - $100,000, and grow with a team that turns 4 years of RabbitMQ into real results.
Key Responsibilities
- Keep Civic Innovation Lab's Spring Boot dependencies patched before the CVEs become incidents

- Tune RabbitMQ caching so Civic Innovation Lab survives the Bangor launch spike on the same hardware
- Carry a quietly-ambitious Linux feature through code freeze without breaking Civic Innovation Lab stability
- Automate the manual MongoDB chores that quietly drain Bangor, ME engineering hours
- Catch the .NET Core race conditions that only surface under Bangor peak traffic
What You'll Bring
- Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines
- Familiarity with Civic Innovation Lab-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
- A ME work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
- Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Experience translating GitLab CI complexity for a non-technical audience
- Hands-on familiarity with Ruby, sharpened by Goal Setting side projects

Salaries here begin at $69,000 - $100,000, complemented by stock options, learning budgets, and weekly one-on-one coaching.
