lemongrasscloud.com | Senior Kafka Engineer | Hybrid (Chicago)

Lemongrass is a SAP focused consultancy support customers as they look to keep up with SAP's "migration to the cloud".

We not so infrequently run into Frankenstein solutions built by our customers that need to be understood, cleaned up, and then potentially right sized or retired. If you enjoy and/or have experience rolling up your sleeves, diving into a poorly documented Kafka deployments, and coming out the other side the hero with crisp documentation in hand and a plan for longer term re-architecture activity, I've got the role for you.

If interested I'd love to talk to you, reach out to bdennett at lemongrasscloud.com

I'm reading a lot of comments here that are defensive about their phone usage. I think that misses the point. It's fine to chase productivity (real or otherwise) and we can all rationalize how we burn our spare minutes: decompression, etc.

Being able to be bored and have those creative thoughts enter is for sure a useful thing. I'd argue the more important thing is being comfortable with silence/boredom. Being able to sit in a meeting and let awkward silence stew; or make a sales pitch and quietly let the gears turn, is a super power. If you're the one at the table better with silence, you have an inherent advantage.

Context: I'd put myself in the very low phone usage category but I still use my phone far more than I'd like. I pretty much just check email/text, HN, a bit of news, and occasionally doom scroll reddit. I'm also a developer turned exec/sales guy.
