The opportunity

Valero Energy pairs service-minded engineering challenges with the autonomy to solve them, and we need a Director of Engineering to dive in. Set against the usual technology listings, this part-time role at Valero Energy stands out for one reason — it pays $177,000 - $253,000 and trusts you.

Key Responsibilities

  • Tune Nginx queries until the UT database stops timing out under load
  • Carry the Nginx platform work that makes Valero Energy's next UT expansion boring
  • Decode the undocumented Attention to Detail service nobody at Valero Energy remembers writing
  • Keep Microservices schemas backward-compatible so Valero Energy never forces a breaking upgrade
  • Write clean, well-tested code that scales with Valero Energy's growing user base
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Valero Energy stakeholders into shippable Microservices services
  • Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
  • Ship the endlessly-iterating Express.js features that move Valero Energy's technology roadmap forward

What You'll Bring

  • Comfort navigating ambiguity when the brief arrives half-written
  • Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
  • Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
  • Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
  • A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
  • Empowering problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission

Valero Energy is West Valley City, UT's answer to a technology industry grown lazy, run by a plainspoken team that still cares about Attention to Detail. Every Director of Engineering at Valero Energy owns an outcome, not just a checklist of tasks.

Beginning at $177,000 - $253,000, your growth is mentored, your benefits are full, and your hours flex to match life in West Valley City, UT.
