The role

We're after a Manufacturing Engineer whose idea of a good day is a quietly-excellent pull request that closed three tickets and opened zero. The headline is $73,000 - $108,000, but the story is ownership — technology work you steer at Square after just 4 years.

Key Responsibilities

  • Hand off RabbitMQ runbooks so the next on-call at Square sleeps better
  • Keep the technology GitHub Actions service humming through St. George's holiday traffic surge
  • Scale Square's Vue.js services from St. George pilot to UT-wide rollout
  • Design Kubernetes APIs other St. George, UT teams will still thank you for next year
  • Decide when to buy Multitasking versus build it for Square's St. George, UT stack
  • Walk technology stakeholders through Go tradeoffs in language Square execs grasp
  • Wrangle Empathy config across environments so St. George staging mirrors production

What You'll Bring

  • A learner's pace that keeps up with shifting requirements
  • Comfort defending a recommendation in front of skeptics
  • A history of leaving technology processes better than you found them
  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later

The builder-led minds at Square have made St. George, UT an unlikely hub for serious Go and Empathy work. You'll never have to guess where you stand with your manager in this freelance role.

You join at $73,000 - $108,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so St. George fits work instead of the reverse.

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

Don't wait for the perfect moment to switch into technology work, because it's right now.
