Description

We are assembling a world-class technology team and want a Lead Software Engineer who can write Flask that performs under pressure. Trade 9 years of Flask for $138,000 - $212,000 and you also get technology ownership and a VMware crew that wants you to win.

Key Responsibilities

  • Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems
  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Spike an Express.js proof of concept fast when VMware needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Walk technology stakeholders through Customer Service tradeoffs in language VMware execs grasp
  • Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Work Ethic acceptance criteria

What You'll Bring

  • Practical PostgreSQL skills sharpened in a freelance setting
  • Lead-caliber judgment about when to escalate and when to absorb
  • The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
  • Hands-on Flask experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • Hands-on experience with modern Flask workflows and tooling

VMware has become the performance-driven name technology buyers across CO bring up when someone asks who actually knows Work Ethic. We keep our process light so engineers can spend their energy on Process Improvement and PostgreSQL, not bureaucracy.

We reward client-centric contributors with $138,000 - $212,000, flexible hours, wellness perks, and meaningful career development support.

Hiring as we speak in Arvada, with daily reviews still underway.

Show us the Work Ethic that doesn't fit neatly on a resume; apply and let it shine.
