Description
designs high-scale automation frameworks, and ensures product reliability. You don't just find bottlenecks—you prevent them through architectural influence, database tuning, and expert root cause analysis
Role:
- Lead performance efforts for multi-team projects. Design traffic models, establish scale goals, and implement sophisticated automation and monitoring strategies.
- Act as the expert in database tuning and system optimizations. Drive design meetings by questioning implementation choices and proposing performant alternatives.
- Rapidly build POCs to test ideas. Lead research spikes and "fail fast" prototypes to address critical scale issues.
- Partner with Product Managers to align features with customer usage patterns. Ensure performance is a core part of the Definition of Done (DoD).
- The Multiplier Effect: Coach AMTS, MTS, and SMTS engineers. Lead code and design reviews, sharing deep product expertise to elevate the team’s technical bar.
- Manage features from initial design through production deployment and post-release support. Own the resolution of the most complex, systemic performance issues.
Requirements:
- Regular use of AI tools for automation and performance work.
- A good understanding of enterprise architecture principles is strongly preferred
- Experience as a developer building platforms and applications.
- Experience in building automation tools.
- Coding experience in Java, C, Python, Ruby on Rails and knowledge of modular design.
- Deep knowledge of Java and its internals, including JVM performance tuning, GC mechanisms, and familiarity with Java Profiling (e.g., JProfiler, YourKit).
- Expert-level understanding of key performance metrics associated with throughput, latency, memory, CPU, disk & network, and the ability to debug bottlenecks associated with any of them.
- Familiarity with NoSQL data stores and transport systems such as Spark, Storm, Cassandra, Kafka is a plus.
- Hands-on experience in open source load test tools.
- Expert in profiling, instrumentation, load generation tools, and database optimization.
