Senior Performance Engineering Team

Senior Performance Engineer

The Senior Performance Engineers will be responsible for designing and executing performance testing strategies, analyzing system behavior under load, and recommending optimizations. They will work closely with software development, Dev Ops, and architecture teams to ensure that performance is considered throughout the software lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and implement performance testing frameworks and strategies.
• Develop and maintain performance test scripts using tools such as JMeter, Gatling, k6, or Load Runner.
• Conduct load, stress, soak, and scalability testing across services and platforms.
• Monitor and analyze system performance metrics (CPU, memory, I/O, latency, throughput).
• Identify performance bottlenecks and work with engineering teams to resolve them.
• Establish performance baselines and SLAs for critical applications and services.
• Collaborate with Dev Ops to integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Provide detailed performance reports and recommendations to stakeholders.
• Stay current with industry trends and emerging performance engineering practices.

Day-to-Day

Activities:

• Participate in sprint planning and architecture reviews to identify performance risks early.
• Write and maintain performance test plans and scripts.
• Execute performance tests and analyze results.
• Monitor production systems for performance anomalies.
• Collaborate with developers to optimize code and database queries.
• Tune JVMs, containers, and infrastructure configurations for performance.
• Document findings and present actionable insights to leadership.
