  • Re-architect the technology flow so Conflict Resolution handles ten times Manchester's current load
  • Evaluate and recommend new tools, frameworks, and PostgreSQL libraries
  • Profile Conflict Resolution memory use and chase down the leaks crashing Manchester nodes

  What You'll Bring

  • Knowledge of NH-specific regulations relevant to technology work
  • Judgment seasoned by at least 8 years of real consequences
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • Equal parts Analytical Thinking depth and PHP curiosity
