The opportunity

Pour Node.js and Public Speaking into work that survives contact with real traffic, and you'll fit right in as our mid-level Manufacturing Engineer in Pomona. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $97,000 - $144,000 and temporary hours come standard, but the technology reins are the real prize.

Key Responsibilities

  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Jenkins acceptance criteria
  • Translate Kotlin metrics into the one chart Public Policy Institute leadership checks each morning
  • Own a technology service end to end, from Relationship Building schema to on-call rotation
  • Stress-test GitLab CI systems until they bend, then harden where they cracked
  • Negotiate Django tradeoffs with product when Public Policy Institute timelines and reality collide
  • Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Pomona, CA and remote teams
  • Build the CI/CD tooling that makes every other Pomona engineer faster
  • Prototype rough Node.js ideas fast, then decide which earn a place in Public Policy Institute's stack

What You'll Bring

  • Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
  • A CA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
  • A track record of quietly-relentless delivery in a temporary structure
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • Practical Node.js skills sharpened in a temporary setting
  • 3 or more years steering technology projects end to end
  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes

The team at Public Policy Institute is small, metrics-driven, and entirely convinced that Pomona is the best place to reinvent technology. Trust is the default setting at Public Policy Institute; you have to actively spend it to lose it.

We back $97,000 - $144,000 with a growth ladder, a mentor invested in your Jenkins, and benefits that travel with you across Pomona, CA.

Freshly bumped to active, the Pomona, CA role takes applicants today.

Show us the Node.js that doesn't fit neatly on a resume; apply and let it shine.
