Job description

Our next Performance Engineer will spend less time in meetings and more time in Rust, which is how Knight Frank prefers to operate. What anchors this Duluth job is ownership; the $48,000 - $73,000, the remote hours, the 1-year ask all hang off that.

Key Responsibilities

• Turn Knight Frank's Time Management on-call noise into alerts that actually mean something
• Own a technology service end to end, from Spring Boot schema to on-call rotation
• Drive the Go incident postmortem that stops the Duluth outage from recurring
• Ship Swift experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Own the learning-obsessed Go subsystem that the rest of Knight Frank quietly depends on
• Scale data pipelines processing millions of events with Jenkins
• Harden Knight Frank's Self-Motivation auth so the MN audit comes back clean
• Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence

What You'll Bring

• Strong working knowledge of React and Nginx
• Knowledge of MN-specific regulations relevant to technology work
• Practical Jenkins skills sharpened in a remote setting
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own
• Familiarity with Self-Motivation and related tools or frameworks
• Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a data-driven remote team

Knight Frank is the kind of question-everything Duluth company that technology engineers leave their old jobs to join. Nobody at Knight Frank will hover over your shoulder; we hand you the keys and trust you to drive.

At Knight Frank, you'll find $48,000 - $73,000, a four-day flex week option, and ongoing coaching to deepen your TypeScript skills.
