Job description

BKD is looking for a mid-level Performance Engineer who can turn scrappy ideas about Jenkins into something a customer never has to think about. The reward structure favors doers: $87,000 - $127,000 upfront, real technology ownership, and a BKD team pulling the same direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Scale BKD's Vue.js services from Plymouth pilot to MN-wide rollout
• Translate Kafka metrics into the one chart BKD leadership checks each morning
• Ship Jenkins experiments fast, kill the losers, and double down on what sticks
• Design Jenkins APIs other Plymouth, MN teams will still thank you for next year
• Contribute to sprint planning, estimation, and technology roadmap discussions
• Coordinate releases with stakeholders across Plymouth, MN and remote teams
• Integrate third-party services and internal tools into the BKD stack

What You'll Bring

• Around 5+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
• Resilience measured across 4 years of technology cycles
• Track record that proves you can people-centered ship under deadline pressure
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a quick-to-ship temporary team
• Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard

Everything BKD ships starts as a high-energy argument in a Plymouth conference room about how Vue.js should really work. The door to every manager at BKD is genuinely open, calendar permitting and politics aside.

Beyond $87,000 - $127,000, BKD offers a generous benefits package and the chance to lead projects that build your skills.

The Plymouth, MN office is bringing people on this season, and this is one of those roles.
