The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  HealthCare Partners is hiring a Performance Engineer in Bend, OR.

• Role description

  Think of this Performance Engineer job as a standing invitation to make HealthCare Partners's MySQL infrastructure faster, simpler, and less scary. Plainly put, HealthCare Partners wants 4 years of Node.js, will pay $88,000 - $131,000, and expects you to own the result.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Architect fault-tolerant distributed systems leveraging JavaScript and Microservices
  • Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
  • Collaborate with product and design teams to ship features end to end
  • Catch the proudly-imperfect Microservices regression in staging before it ever reaches Bend customers
  • Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
  • Hunt down the latency spikes nobody at HealthCare Partners can explain
  • Ship the Microservices genuinely-flexible rewrite that pays down years of HealthCare Partners technical debt
  • Backfill Kubernetes test coverage on the riskiest corners of HealthCare Partners's codebase

  What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on technology experience that holds up to follow-up questions
  • Willingness to commute to Bend, OR work flexibly as needed
  • A point of view on HealthCare Partners's space, sharpened by your own reading
  • Roughly 5+ years operating in a similar Performance Engineer position

  Out of a converted warehouse in Bend, HealthCare Partners has quietly grown into a craft-obsessed force shaping how technology gets done. A mid-level title opens doors here, but earning real trust is what keeps them open.

  We reward empathy-led contributors with $88,000 - $131,000, flexible hours, wellness perks, and meaningful career development support.

  Fresh interview slots opened up this week for the Performance Engineer search.

  This mid-level role won't stay open long, so apply while you can.
