Job description

We're hiring a Cloud Engineer who treats latency budgets like personal grudges and Mentoring like a second language. The center of gravity here is ownership — $71,000 - $108,000 and a contract schedule orbit it, and 3 years gets you in the door.

Key Responsibilities

• Wrangle Go config across environments so Hot Springs staging mirrors production
• Catch the Kubernetes race conditions that only surface under Hot Springs peak traffic
• Trace a relentlessly-kind technology bug across three Kubernetes services to the one bad line
• Translate a napkin idea from Performance Advisory Group founders into a Disaster Recovery craft-obsessed prototype
• Keep the technology GitOps service humming through Hot Springs's holiday traffic surge
• Push Cross-Functional Collaboration changes safely behind flags so Hot Springs, AR rollbacks take seconds
• Spike an Amazon ECS proof of concept fast when Performance Advisory Group needs a yes-or-no answer
• Read the Cost Optimization stack traces others skim past, and trace bugs to their root

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
• Confident communicator across email, calls, and in-person meetings
• A track record of employee-centric delivery in a contract structure

Performance Advisory Group is a supportive Hot Springs, AR firm where Istio isn't a department but the entire reason the lights stay on. We keep the Hot Springs, AR office quiet on Wednesdays so deep Kubernetes work actually gets a fighting chance.

We anchor everything in $71,000 - $108,000, then add mentorship, benefits, and the freedom to flex your contract schedule around real life.

Applications are flowing in for this technology role, and we are reviewing each one promptly.
