This is a multi-level posting. Candidates may be considered for any of the posted levels, depending on their level of experience and depth of expertise.
Our team is building a modern hybrid cloud platform from the ground up to support the next generation of applications across the organization. The platform provides foundational infrastructure, container runtime environments, developer tooling, messaging systems, and observability capabilities required to run reliable and scalable applications.
This is a greenfield engineering opportunity. As a Software Engineer 2 or 3, you will contribute to the development of automation, tools, and workflows that support platform and infrastructure operations. You will work under the guidance of more senior engineers and gain hands‑on experience with modern infrastructure, automation practices, and cloud‑native technologies.
Our approach emphasizes software‑driven infrastructure, infrastructure‑as‑code, Git‑based workflows, and modern observability practices. Engineers at this level focus on building strong technical foundations, learning platform concepts, and contributing to production systems in a supported environment.
MidAmerican Energy Company, a Midwest utility, provides regulated electric and natural gas service to more than 1.6 million customers in Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. The company owns and operates a portfolio of power-generating assets, approximately 61% of which is wind generation.
Bachelor''s degree in management information systems (MIS), computer science or related technical field or equivalent work experience. (Typically four years of related, progressive work experience would be needed for candidates applying for this position who do not possess a bachelor''s degree.)
A minimum of four years of experience in business software application design, development, integration and/or installation for a software engineer 2.
A minimum of five or more years of experience in business software application design, development, integration and/or installation for a software engineer 3.
