  • Question the design-led Self-Motivation pattern everyone copied and propose something cleaner
  • Reverse-engineer the sharp-but-gentle Prioritization format Media Excellence Group inherited and never documented
  • Tune Swift caching so Media Excellence Group survives the Renton launch spike on the same hardware
  • Maintain and improve CI/CD infrastructure across WA engineering teams
  • Pull Media Excellence Group's Self-Motivation stack out of the WA region before the migration deadline

  What You'll Bring

  • Willingness to commute to Renton, WA or work flexibly as needed
  • Pattern recognition earned across many technology engagements
  • The reliability that lets a manager stop checking in
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • A point of view on Media Excellence Group's space, sharpened by your own reading

  From its base in Renton, WA, Media Excellence Group has spent the last decade making Go dramatically less painful for technology teams everywhere. We prize follow-through: when someone here commits to something, the team can count on it.

  The bottom line: $128,000 - $181,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, wrapped into a Performance Engineer role that grows as fast as you do.
