The opportunity

At Production Technologies, the VP of Engineering owns the problem end to end, from the first Ansible prototype to the 3 a.m. pager that never rings. The offer reads simply — freelance, $294,000 - $419,000, 14 years, and a vp role where ownership is not a perk but the point.

Key Responsibilities

  • Turn Production Technologies's Selenium on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
  • Walk technology stakeholders through Swift tradeoffs in language Production Technologies execs grasp
  • Trim Production Technologies's cloud bill by right-sizing the Selenium infrastructure in Renton, WA
  • Ship Ansible experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Express.js-based applications
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Monitor system health and set up alerting for forever-learning production environments

What You'll Bring

  • 13 years that taught you which corners can be cut
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 12 years of real consequences
  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
  • The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
  • Hands-on Ansible experience that survives a whiteboard interview

Production Technologies has quietly become one of the most nimble names in technology, all from a modest office in Renton, WA. Mistakes get dissected for lessons at Production Technologies, never weaponized in your next review.

Expect $294,000 - $419,000 plus full medical, dental, and vision benefits, generous paid time off, and real mentorship from day one.

Hot off the queue today, Production Technologies wants to hear from you this week.
