The opportunity

Join our engineering team in Fullerton and help us scale systems that handle traffic from across CA and beyond. Join McKinsey & Company as a contract Manufacturing Engineer and take real ownership of GitLab CI work while earning $109,000 - $162,000 and growing your craft.

Key Responsibilities

  • Wrangle Redis config across environments so Fullerton staging mirrors production
  • Harden McKinsey & Company's gRPC auth so the CA audit comes back clean
  • Ensure code quality through automated linting, testing, and static analysis
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within McKinsey & Company
  • Refactor the technology module McKinsey & Company has been afraid to touch
  • Hand off gRPC runbooks so the next on-call at McKinsey & Company sleeps better
  • Slice the quick-to-ship technology monolith into Scrum services Fullerton, CA can deploy alone

What You'll Bring

  • The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
  • Customer-focused outlook with strong interpersonal skills
  • Fluency in gRPC earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
  • Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings

Our Fullerton, CA headquarters is home to an autonomy-rich group of builders, designers, and problem-solvers at McKinsey & Company. At McKinsey & Company the org chart is flat enough that good ideas don't need a passport to travel.

Step in at $109,000 - $162,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility McKinsey & Company is genuinely proud of.

The McKinsey & Company team is expanding in Fullerton, CA this quarter, and this seat is part of that growth.

The candidates who apply early at McKinsey & Company are the ones we remember, so be early.
