Job description

The Performance Engineer we hire will help scale our infrastructure from thousands to millions of concurrent users. We're looking for 4+ years of PHP; in return you'll get $71,000 - $106,000, ownership, and a team worth joining.

Key Responsibilities

• Scale Cisco's Kubernetes services from Gillette pilot to WY-wide rollout
• Lead technical design reviews for mid-level technology initiatives
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to a strong code-review culture
• Carry a joyfully-rigorous PHP feature through code freeze without breaking Cisco stability
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Cisco can explain
• Translate React metrics into the one chart Cisco leadership checks each morning
• Keep the technology TypeScript service humming through Gillette's holiday traffic surge

What You'll Bring

• Resilience measured across 5 years of technology cycles
• Solid PHP grounding, plus React you can pick up on the fly
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• 3+ years navigating the politics that technology work attracts

The small-but-mighty culture at Cisco is what keeps our Gillette, WY team building remarkable things together. We treat every new Performance Engineer as a fresh set of eyes, so tell us what looks broken.

What we put on the table: $71,000 - $106,000, coaching for your PHP, benefits worth having, and freedom to grow at your own pace.

We touched the timestamp today; the Performance Engineer hunt continues in earnest.
