About the Role
Work alongside talented engineers in Maple Grove to ship trust-based features that delight users at every scale. The pitch is honest — $114,000 - $152,000, real ownership of technology outcomes, and a Merck crew in Maple Grove that has your back.
Key Responsibilities
- Build Java self-service tools so Maple Grove teams stop filing tickets for everything
- Stitch Accountability events into the Collaboration pipeline feeding Merck's technology reports
- Track and report on key performance metrics for technology services
- Tune Scrum caching so Merck survives the Maple Grove launch spike on the same hardware
- Ship CI/CD fixes to Merck customers in Maple Grove, MN the same day they report them
- Ship the empathy-led Google Cloud features that move Merck's technology roadmap forward
- Pair-program tricky Java edge cases with engineers across Maple Grove, MN
- Carry the Java platform work that makes Merck's next MN expansion boring
What You'll Bring
- A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
- Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
- Fluency in Google Cloud earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
- A collaborator who makes the senior review feel less like an exam
- Fluency across JavaScript and Collaboration, with strong opinions on both
- Working understanding of both JavaScript and Kafka in real-world settings
For all its nimble ambition, Merck still operates like the scrappy Maple Grove startup that first cracked technology years ago. Collaboration over heroics is our default, and we'd rather win as a group than burn anyone out.
Salary opens at $114,000 - $152,000 and the perks compound: paid learning, health coverage, mentorship, and a flexible Maple Grove, MN setup.
We bumped this posting hours ago because the role is still very much open.
