The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Paramount is hiring a Performance Engineer in Jersey City, NJ.

• Role description

  At Paramount, the best Performance Engineer isn't the one who writes the most code but the one whose Spring Boot decisions age the gracefully. Backed by 3 years of technology experience, you'll own key initiatives, partner closely with the team, and earn $108,000 - $157,000.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Trace a technology number back through Linux services until it finally adds up
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Translate fuzzy product wishes from Paramount stakeholders into shippable Organization services
  • Design, build, and maintain reliable backend services using Linux and Decision Making
  • Replace the brittle PHP hack with a Spring Boot solution that survives Jersey City scale
  • Own data integrity across Paramount's Linux stores so Jersey City numbers never lie
  • Reverse-engineer the remote-friendly Scrum format Paramount inherited and never documented
  • Profile and refactor legacy code to reduce technical debt over time

  What You'll Bring

  • Hands-on Linux experience that survives a whiteboard interview
  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality

  Run from a single floor in Jersey City, NJ, Paramount is a feedback-driven reminder that technology breakthroughs still start small. We swap Jenkins and Decision Making tips over lunch because nobody here pretends to know it all.

  At $108,000 - $157,000, with mentorship and a benefits suite to match, this Performance Engineer seat at Paramount is built for people who want to rise.

  Nothing stale here: the Performance Engineer slot was re-confirmed open earlier today.
