The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Performance Advisory Group is hiring a Backend Developer in Pocatello, ID.

• Role description

  Engineers who can explain Facilitation to a skeptic and still ship by Friday tend to thrive in our Backend Developer role in Pocatello. Consider the trade: your 4 years of Cypress for $66,000 - $101,000, a contract schedule, and ownership most shops never offer.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Catch the Kubernetes race conditions that only surface under Pocatello peak traffic
  • Containerize applications and manage deployments with Customer Service and Facilitation
  • Deliver mid-level-quality features within the $66,000 - $101,000 Backend Developer mandate
  • Keep the Customer Service build pipeline green so Pocatello deploys never wait on a red light
  • Map data flow across Performance Advisory Group's GitLab CI services and spot the leaks
  • Build internal tooling that improves developer productivity and velocity

  What You'll Bring

  • Fluency across GitLab CI and Nginx, with strong opinions on both
  • Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
  • Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
  • Comfort being the newest person in the room and the loudest in the notes
  • 3+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions

  Performance Advisory Group is the entrepreneurial ID company that built its name on technology work nobody else wanted to do properly. We swap Nginx and Customer Service tips over lunch because nobody here pretends to know it all.

  At Performance Advisory Group, $66,000 - $101,000 is just the opener; the mentorship, benefits, and Pocatello, ID flexibility are where the offer gets good.

  Still hiring, still current, still waiting for someone like you.

  You've weighed the pros and cons long enough; the Backend Developer application takes five minutes.
