Electrical Engineer

This freelance Electrical Engineer role at Walgreens suits the engineer who reads the changelog before upgrading and the docs before asking. At its core, this is a mid-level Electrical Engineer job in CA that rewards 3 years with $106,000 - $164,000 and room to run.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
• Hand off Redis runbooks so the next on-call at Walgreens sleeps better
• Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Redis and Goal Setting
• Spike a Goal Setting proof of concept fast when Walgreens needs a yes-or-no answer
• Own the CI/CD release that Huntington Beach leadership has circled on the calendar
• Sketch the GraphQL architecture, defend it in review, then build the thing
• Respond to on-call rotations and participate in incident postmortems

What You'll Bring

• The discipline to document while it's fresh, not after it's forgotten
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• Hands-on Google Cloud experience that survives a whiteboard interview
• Prior experience working on-site in Huntington Beach, CA, or willingness to relocate
• Fluency in Goal Setting earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial

What sets Walgreens apart isn't size but a fiercely-supportive Huntington Beach culture that refuses to ship CI/CD it wouldn't trust itself. We hire for character and plainspoken thinking, then trust the rest to follow.

The offer is plainspoken: $106,000 - $164,000, coaching that grows you, benefits that cover you, and a schedule that flexes with Huntington Beach.

Right now we are scheduling first-round calls for Huntington Beach, CA-based candidates.
