Software Build and Release Engineer

Software Build and Release Engineer

Milwaukee, WI - (Remote Position)

12 Months

Work Location remote but candidates MUST live in CST / EST

We need a focus on Jenkins experience and Groovy scripting."

Manager's notes-

1. I am receiving too many resumes that are 11, 12, 16 pages in length with every small task that a person has done. This tells me the candidate is unable to distinguish important and impactful work from trivial tasks.

2. Please ensure the candidates can communicate clearly. I ve had multiple phone screens where almost 1 / 3 of their conversation needs to be repeated or questions need to be repeated / clarified multiple times.

Candidates need to have good communication skills as they will work with many teams across several countries.

3. Please ensure candidates are in Central or Eastern time zone. I know this was listed in the request, but I am receiving resumes for people in West and Mountain time zones.

Unfortunately, I am not comfortable with someone who says they will work CST schedules because we have meetings as early as 6am CST, which is 5am or 4am Western.

That is something that is not sustainable.
