The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  StartupForge is hiring a Performance Engineer in Sparks, NV.

• Role description

  Ready to work on real distributed systems? StartupForge is adding a Performance Engineer skilled in Unit Testing to the technology team. You supply 1 years and Unit Testing; StartupForge supplies $60,000 - $93,000, a Sparks home, and growth that does not flatten out.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Prototype proof-of-concept solutions for emerging technology requirements
  • Lead the Accountability migration that finally retires StartupForge's safety-first legacy stack
  • Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within StartupForge
  • Ship incremental improvements to StartupForge's Sparks platform on a regular cadence
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production incidents across REST API-based applications
  • Build REST API dashboards so StartupForge's technology team stops asking engineers for numbers

  What You'll Bring

  • The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly
  • Proven Ansible results, ideally seasoned in Sparks, NV
  • Comfort with a StartupForge pace that rarely sits still
  • Comfort owning a number that goes up or down because of you
  • The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • The communication discipline to over-share early and trim later

  Growing steadily over 1 years, StartupForge now leads calmly-fast-moving innovation in the technology market. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

  The bottom line: $60,000 - $93,000, mentorship, benefits, and flexibility, wrapped into a Performance Engineer role that grows as fast as you do.
