Best Buy is hiring a Performance Engineer to design, build, and ship software that serves millions of users every day. Bring the documentation-first energy and 3 years; Best Buy brings $94,000 - $130,000, a Portland base, and room to grow into more.
Key Responsibilities
- Translate the deeply technical People Management outage into fixes that make the next Portland launch dull
- Land REST API performance wins Best Buy can measure in OR retention numbers
- Tune Swift queries until the OR database stops timing out under load
- Decode the undocumented Node.js service nobody at Best Buy remembers writing
- Own data integrity across Best Buy's Node.js stores so Portland numbers never lie
- Hand off Node.js runbooks so the next on-call at Best Buy sleeps better
- Tune People Management caching so Best Buy survives the Portland launch spike on the same hardware
What You'll Bring
- Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
- Comfort presenting to an OR-wide audience without a script
- An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
- A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
- Willingness to commute to Portland, OR work flexibly as needed
Across OR, the data-honest technology systems people trust most often turn out to be Best Buy, built quietly in Portland. Recognition here is specific and frequent, not saved up for some annual Portland, OR ceremony.
Secure $94,000 - $130,000, flexible remote options, equity, and a mentorship program designed to help you reach the next mid-level.
