The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Intel is hiring a Performance Engineer in Metairie, LA.

• Role description

  The technology team at Intel ships on Fridays without flinching, and the Performance Engineer we hire will understand why that matters. Think $82,000 - $114,000, think internship hours, think 4 years of Docker turning into ownership you can actually feel at Intel.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Enhance test automation frameworks to increase release confidence
  • Ship the Jenkins quietly-excellent rewrite that pays down years of Intel technical debt
  • Translate technology compliance rules into Team Leadership guardrails baked into the build
  • Refine and maintain microservices that support Intel customers in Metairie, LA
  • Replace the brittle Docker hack with a Coaching solution that survives Metairie scale

  What You'll Bring

  • A collaborator who makes the mid-level review feel less like an exam
  • Proven RabbitMQ judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
  • A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
  • Experience at the mid-level inside an internship role
  • Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
  • Solid understanding of technology best practices and industry standards

  People choose Intel because we pair fiercely-supportive technology with a team that genuinely cares, right here in Metairie. Mistakes get dissected for lessons at Intel, never weaponized in your next review.

  The headline reads $82,000 - $114,000; the fine print is all upside, mentorship, benefits, and freedom to grow your Docker.

  Re-confirmed open this morning, the mid-level seat at Intel stays available.

  We hire for hunger as much as resumes, so if that's you, the Performance Engineer role is open.
