I really enjoy the process of optimizing software, making it more reliable, faster, smaller code size, anything where a particular metric can be targeted and challenging yourself to hit that target or conclude it's impossible to hit after doing the math out and trying many possible paths.
The problem is, how do I go about finding jobs like this? It seems many dev jobs are focused on adding more features, but not optimizing the prior features. It's disappointing adding a new feature that I know will always be half baked, since I don't get to test the limits of the problem that particular feature is trying to solve. Any advice?

You should look at database companies, though. There are a lot of them now, and they all really do care a lot about optimization.
