The opportunity
We need someone who reads stack traces the way other people read headlines, and we're calling that someone a Performance Engineer. An internship Performance Engineer seat at CareFirst Medical that pairs $67,000 - $90,000 with ownership, collaboration, and a long-term growth track.
Key Responsibilities
- Automate build, test, and deployment pipelines for faster release cycles
- Champion engineering excellence and continuous learning within CareFirst Medical
- Re-architect the technology flow so GraphQL handles ten times Buffalo's current load
- Review pull requests and uphold engineering standards across the technology team
- Pull Swift telemetry into dashboards CareFirst Medical leaders actually open
- Guard the Git codebase quality through reviews that teach as much as they catch
What You'll Bring
- Around 3+ years of hands-on experience in a technology role
- 3 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
- Professionalism, integrity, and discretion with sensitive information
- The reflex to surface risk before it surfaces itself
- Proven PostgreSQL results, ideally seasoned in Buffalo, NY
Founded in Buffalo, NY during a downturn, CareFirst Medical grew deadline-driven and lean while flashier technology rivals burned out. Inclusion isn't a poster on the Buffalo, NY wall; it's who gets pulled into the room and heard.
We pair a $67,000 - $90,000 salary with health, dental, and vision plans, plus annual bonuses tied to team performance.
Just updated, just confirmed, just waiting on the right applicant.
