The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  UnitedHealth Group is hiring a Performance Engineer in San Antonio, TX.

• Role description

  You can write Angular that works or Microservices that lasts; our Performance Engineer role at UnitedHealth Group is for engineers who insist on both. What you're really weighing is $51,000 - $78,000 against 1 years, with technology ownership and UnitedHealth Group growth tipping the scale.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Optimize application performance, latency, and resource utilization at scale
  • Bridge Empathy and Active Listening so the two halves of UnitedHealth Group's platform finally talk
  • Map data flow across UnitedHealth Group's Angular services and spot the leaks
  • Document the Empathy system so the next junior engineer onboards in days, not weeks
  • Trace a thoughtfully-bold technology bug across three Next.js services to the one bad line
  • Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that UnitedHealth Group users feel every click

  What You'll Bring

  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
  • Resilience measured across 1 years of technology cycles
  • Proven follow-through, measured in shipped things rather than good intentions
  • Curiosity that outpaces your current job description
  • Hands-on proficiency with Kotlin, ideally paired with Empathy
  • Hands-on experience with modern Active Listening workflows and tooling
  • Equal parts Empathy depth and Microservices curiosity

  The transparent minds at UnitedHealth Group have made San Antonio, TX an unlikely hub for serious Kotlin and Angular work. We give junior hires room to fail small so they can later succeed big on technology work.

  Open with $51,000 - $78,000, grow your Kotlin under a mentor, lean on full benefits, and flex your hours the way grown-ups should.

  As recently as today, UnitedHealth Group reopened the doors on this one.

  The team in San Antonio, TX is one strong Performance Engineer away from complete, and that could be you.
