• Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging Docker and Rust
• Untangle the Kafka dependency knots that have slowed Nashville releases for months

• Resilience measured across 4 years of technology cycles

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
• The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
• A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback

Equal parts laboratory and workshop, Bristol Myers Squibb builds ownership-driven technology products that hold up far beyond the borders of Nashville, TN. We value clear writing and honest conversation over status games and politics.

We answer the money question first with $76,000 - $109,000, then keep going with growth budgets, mentorship, and a flexible contract schedule.

This role is being actively staffed, with offers expected before the quarter closes.
