The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Performance Consulting Group is hiring a Principal Software Engineer in St. Paul, MN.

• Role description

  We're hiring a Principal Software Engineer who treats latency budgets like personal grudges and Google Cloud like a second language. Join Performance Consulting Group as a temporary Principal Software Engineer and take real ownership of Presentation Skills work while earning $161,000 - $218,000 and growing your craft.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Translate technology compliance rules into Selenium guardrails baked into the build
  • Partner with QA to define test coverage and catch regressions early
  • Keep the MySQL build pipeline green so St. Paul deploys never wait on a red light
  • Deliver principal-quality features within the $161,000 - $218,000 Principal Software Engineer mandate
  • Spike a Vue.js proof of concept fast when Performance Consulting Group needs a yes-or-no answer
  • Keep Performance Consulting Group's MySQL CI under ten minutes so St. Paul, MN engineers stay in flow

  What You'll Bring

  • The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
  • A teammate's instinct to unblock others before yourself
  • A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
  • 10 or more years steering technology projects end to end
  • The kind of curiosity that reads the docs before asking
  • Working knowledge of Terraform alongside transferable Vue.js chops
  • Track record that proves you can unhurried ship under deadline pressure

  Performance Consulting Group exists to solve hard technology problems with a quietly-relentless approach and a St. Paul, MN-rooted culture. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Prioritization work, not the human behind it.

  Beyond the $161,000 - $218,000 headline, we hand you a mentor, room to grow into principal work, and the freedom to shape your own week.

  The posting clock reset today, so the Principal Software Engineer window is wide open.

  We open the Principal Software Engineer role today and close it once we meet the right person, so hurry.
