Job description

Our next Performance Engineer will spend less time in meetings and more time in Node.js, which is how Capital Growth Partners prefers to operate. This is where 5 years becomes $60,000 - $88,000, where remote hours meet real technology ownership, and where Capital Growth Partners bets on you.

Key Responsibilities

• Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across Stakeholder Management-based applications
• Configure and manage infrastructure as code across staging and production
• Resurrect flaky Customer Service tests until the Youngstown, OH suite is trustworthy again
• Trace a technology number back through gRPC services until it finally adds up
• Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at Capital Growth Partners can explain
• Turn vague technology tickets into crisp, testable Customer Service acceptance criteria
• Reproduce the bias-to-action bug from the Youngstown field report, then make it impossible again
• Ship the Customer Service trust-based rewrite that pays down years of Capital Growth Partners technical debt

What You'll Bring

• A communicator who writes the meeting recap nobody asked for but everyone reads
• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Fluency across gRPC and RabbitMQ, with strong opinions on both
• 4+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Experience at the mid-level inside a remote role

Capital Growth Partners has made Youngstown, OH synonymous with high-trust, dependable technology work that outlasts the hype cycles. Every voice in the OH office gets airtime, especially the ones still finding their volume.
