The role

From prototype to production, our Performance Engineer role puts you at the center of building software people rely on. Sum it up however you want — remote Performance Engineer, $72,000 - $112,000, 3 years of MySQL, and a stake in Target that only deepens.

Key Responsibilities

Guard the Kubernetes codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
Document the Attention Management system so the next mid-level engineer onboards in days, not weeks
Work closely with data teams to surface insights from production systems
Carry the Attention Management platform work that makes Target's next AR expansion boring
Shave milliseconds off the technology hot path that Target users feel every click

What You'll Bring

The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
An AR sensibility, or genuine curiosity about this market
The kind of listening that makes the other person feel heard
Proven track record delivering results as a mid-level Performance Engineer
The judgment to say no to good ideas at the wrong time

Founded by engineers who believe small teams ship great software, Target now serves customers across the country from its Fayetteville, AR office. Around here, "I don't know yet" is a perfectly respectable sentence and often the start of something good.

In return for your Persuasion expertise, you'll earn $72,000 - $112,000 along with 401(k) matching and flexible remote options.

Confirmed unfilled today, Target continues its search in real time.
