Subject: Opening on my team at Mastercard

Hi Keith and Joel,

I have a new college hire Software Engineering position open.  I had a candidate from Grace Hopper who had accepted and she just withdrew so the req is open again.  Looking for someone with a CS degree and interested in DevOps type work.  A lot of Chef development plus any skills in Jenkins/Groovy, Ruby, Python, and SQL would be great.  (general java dev is fine too with an appetite to learn new languages).
The position would be a May/June 2020 start date and based in St Louis, MO.

You can have anyone interested send me their resume directly and I’ll get them the online application link.
The job description would be similar to the one attached although responsibilities simplified for a new college hire level.

Sara (Kamper) Willett
Director, BizOps
