About the Role
The phrase "it works on my machine" makes you wince, which is exactly why you'd make a great Solutions Architect here in Tucson. You'll bring 5 years of Node.js, and in return get $73,000 - $111,000, a supportive team, and the freedom to drive your own results.
Key Responsibilities
- Watch PHP error budgets and pump the brakes before Tucson, AZ burns through them
- Translate technology compliance rules into GraphQL guardrails baked into the build
- Re-architect the technology flow so PostgreSQL handles ten times Tucson's current load
- Replace the brittle Node.js hack with a PHP solution that survives Tucson scale
- Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Kubernetes and GraphQL
- Guard the Elasticsearch codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
What You'll Bring
- Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
- Fluency in Elasticsearch earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
- A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
- Hands-on experience with modern Critical Thinking workflows and tooling
- Working knowledge of PostgreSQL alongside transferable Kubernetes chops
- Experience translating PHP complexity for a non-technical audience
