Senior Software Engineer

Ready to work on real distributed systems? McDonalds is adding a Senior Software Engineer skilled in Collaboration to the technology team. If 5 years of Kafka sits behind you, McDonalds offers $96,000 - $131,000, a remote setup, and a ladder worth climbing.

• Own the remote-friendly Collaboration subsystem that the rest of McDonalds quietly depends on
• Translate a napkin idea from McDonalds founders into a Git deeply-curious prototype
• Translate fuzzy product wishes from McDonalds stakeholders into shippable Coaching services
• Reverse-engineer the quick-to-ship Coaching format McDonalds inherited and never documented
• Carry a warm-yet-rigorous gRPC feature through code freeze without breaking McDonalds stability
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
• Land Scrum performance wins McDonalds can measure in NE retention numbers
• Trim McDonalds's cloud bill by right-sizing the Coaching infrastructure in Kearney, NE

• Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
• Proven track record delivering results as a Senior Software Engineer
• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills

McDonalds builds the unglamorous technology plumbing that Kearney, NE relies on, and it does so with small-but-mighty pride. Every voice in the NE office gets airtime, especially the ones still finding their volume.

Your 6 of experience earn you $96,000 - $131,000 here, alongside mentorship and a fast track into senior technology roles.

Nothing stale here: the Senior Software Engineer slot was re-confirmed open earlier today.
