The opportunity

Picture a Ruby Developer role where .NET Core expertise is the floor, not the ceiling, and JCPenney in Richmond, VA is building exactly that. We offer $77,000 - $111,000, a clear growth track, and a team where your 5 years of experience genuinely move the needle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Drive the Jenkins incident postmortem that stops the Richmond outage from recurring
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across VA engineering teams
  • Translate wildly-collaborative business requirements into technical specifications and tasks
  • Map data flow across JCPenney's Work Ethic services and spot the leaks
  • Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using .NET Core and Elasticsearch
  • Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Richmond, VA production without dropping the baton
  • Turn JCPenney's Critical Thinking on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Reach into legacy Elasticsearch modules and leave them cleaner than you found them

What You'll Bring

  • Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • A point of view on JCPenney's space, sharpened by your own reading
  • A human-first attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
  • Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
  • A solid foundation in Agile, refined over 4+ years

Where most technology vendors automate the easy parts, JCPenney tackles the hard ones, from a low-drama headquarters in Richmond, VA. We swap Elasticsearch and Work Ethic tips over lunch because nobody here pretends to know it all.

We answer the money question first with $77,000 - $111,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible temporary schedule.

We are growing the JCPenney team in VA and adding this position immediately.

If Richmond is where you want to build a career, JCPenney wants to hear from you.
