The opportunity

Target pays $98,000 - $148,000 for a Site Reliability Engineer in Springfield, MA who can hold a Load Balancing design in their head and still see the gaps. Bring 7 years to this MA Site Reliability Engineer job and Target answers with $98,000 - $148,000 and a runway that keeps unrolling.

Key Responsibilities

  • Spot the heads-down-and-happy Bash Scripting anti-pattern in review before it spreads through Target
  • Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
  • Reproduce the wildly-collaborative bug from the Springfield field report, then make it impossible again
  • Keep Target's Helm CI under ten minutes so Springfield, MA engineers stay in flow
  • Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
  • Lead technical design reviews for senior technology initiatives
  • Sketch Load Balancing sequence diagrams that make the technology flow obvious to everyone
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Target stakeholders into shippable Public Speaking services

What You'll Bring

  • A MA sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
  • Hands-on Helm experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 6 years of real consequences
  • Familiarity with the rhythms of a detail-loving freelance team
  • 6+ years putting Bash Scripting to work in a technology setting
  • Demonstrated ability to manage competing priorities under tight deadlines

Think of Target as the data-driven engine behind some of the most trusted technology products on the market. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

Come for $98,000 - $148,000, stay for the mentorship, the benefits, and the rare flexibility that makes Target a fun-loving place to grow.
