Job description

This remote Performance Engineer seat at Content Partners Inc pays $75,000 - $98,000 and comes with a backlog of genuinely interesting technology problems. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 5 years, want $75,000 - $98,000, and crave a technology team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Tune Scrum queries until the KY database stops timing out under load
• Document technical decisions, architecture, and APIs for the broader org
• Wrangle Agile config across environments so Bowling Green staging mirrors production
• Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time
• Turn Content Partners Inc's Jest on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Ship the detail-focused REST API features that move Content Partners Inc's technology roadmap forward
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Bowling Green, KY and remote teams

What You'll Bring

• The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
• At least 4 years of standing behind your own estimates

The reputation Content Partners Inc enjoys across KY wasn't bought; the playfully-serious Bowling Green team earned it one technology project at a time. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

Start at $75,000 - $98,000 and watch the benefits, growth budget, and flexible scheduling do the heavy lifting on your work-life balance.

We updated this posting recently and are still actively accepting candidates.
