Valero Energy is the builder-led Sacramento, CA company that technology insiders recommend but rarely the one that advertises. People here care as much about how we work together as what we ship.

Your package includes $89,000 - $137,000, premium healthcare, and a generous home-office allowance for our distributed team.

The search is live, the seat is funded, and we are interviewing this week.

This mid-level role won't stay open long.
