Performance Engineer

We're growing the technology group at Best Buy and need a mid-level Performance Engineer who treats reliability as a feature, not an afterthought. This is $74,000 - $112,000 for 4 years of People Management, an internship schedule, and a mid-level stake in where Best Buy heads next.

• Pair gRPC and Java in a pipeline Best Buy can extend without your help later
• Break large technology initiatives into Java increments Mankato can actually deliver
• Design gRPC APIs other Mankato, MN teams will still thank you for next year
• Ship the data-driven Agile features that move Best Buy's technology roadmap forward
• Identify bottlenecks and propose architectural improvements proactively
• Spike an Agile proof of concept fast when Best Buy needs a yes-or-no answer
• Catch the Java race conditions that only surface under Mankato peak traffic
• Wrangle Swift config across environments so Mankato staging mirrors production

• Ability to learn new technology systems quickly and apply them effectively
• Familiarity with Best Buy-scale workflows, or the appetite to reach them
• Prior experience working on-site in Mankato, MN, or willingness to relocate
• The grit to debug at 4pm on a Friday without complaint
• The kind of empathy that makes hard feedback land softly

Every product at Best Buy reflects the mission-soaked standards our Mankato, MN team holds itself to. We build psychological safety the boring way: by actually following through on what we say.

You get $74,000 - $112,000, a robust benefits suite, and hands-on mentorship aimed at making you a stronger technology professional.

Still warm and still open, this internship listing just got updated.

Your background in Python could be exactly the missing piece here in Mankato, so reach out.
