  • Proactively lead new technology projects identified by other business units; e.g., revamp of City Journal mobile application, new system integrations with data lake to facilitate Martech analytics, and others.
  • Mentor and train junior development staff.
  • Maintain a high level of customer service, authority, and professionalism to all business units and vendors.

Qualifications

  • Continuous integration / continuous deployment

Compensation and Benefits

Salary range: $90,000-$115,000/year, based on experience and skills.

MI offers generous benefits, including four weeks paid vacation, a Summer Fridays program, paid paternity/maternity leave, medical and dental coverage with HSA options, medical and dependent-care FSA, mental health benefits, remote medicine, paid company cell phone, life insurance, and a 401(k) with a company-funded match.
