About the Position

KKR is scaling its technology platform across CA, and the Safety Engineer we hire becomes one of its load-bearing decisions. The Pasadena role is less about the $78,000 - $117,000 and more about what 1 years of React lets you own at KKR.

Key Responsibilities

  • Resurrect flaky React tests until the Pasadena, CA suite is trustworthy again
  • Hand off Java runbooks so the next on-call at KKR sleeps better
  • Sit with technology users in Pasadena to learn what the Vue.js tool really needs
  • Build React dashboards so KKR's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers
  • Carry features from whiteboard sketch to Pasadena, CA production without dropping the baton
  • Keep the technology Git service humming through Pasadena's holiday traffic surge

What You'll Bring

  • Comfort being accountable for a wildly-collaborative outcome in a full-time role
  • Experience supporting cross-functional teams in a junior capacity
  • The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
  • Proven aptitude for Java, ideally near Pasadena, CA
  • Willingness to commute to Pasadena, CA or work flexibly as needed
  • Hands-on familiarity with Java, sharpened by Prioritization side projects

Long before technology was fashionable, KKR was already solving it for businesses scattered across CA. We believe the best technology decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

You'll be supported by $78,000 - $117,000, strong health coverage, conference budgets, and a team that promotes from within.

Demand on the technology team has us moving fast to fill this seat.

Your next opportunity in technology starts with a single application.
