Position Overview:

We are seeking a talented and experienced Software Engineer-Backend to join our team of skilled professionals. As a Performance Engineer, you will play a critical role in ensuring the optimal performance of our systems.

  • Conduct thorough performance analysis of Java-based applications through profiling, monitoring, and benchmarking to identify performance degradation and suggest improvements.
  • Deep dive into the codebase to understand the root causes of performance issues, including resource contention, memory leaks, and suboptimal algorithms.
  • Develop and execute performance testing strategies to simulate real-world scenarios, stress-test system components, and uncover performance limitations.
  • Design, implement, and execute performance experiments to evaluate the impact of code changes and system configurations.
  • Work hands-on to fine-tune system parameters, configurations, and resource allocation to achieve optimal performance results.
  • Collaborate with development teams to provide guidance and recommendations on code optimizations, caching strategies, and concurrency enhancements.
  • Utilize performance monitoring and profiling tools to track and analyze system behavior, and proactively address potential bottlenecks.
  • Collaborate on designing and implementing performance-related features that enhance the overall scalability and efficiency of the systems.
  • Document performance analysis findings, optimization strategies, and best practices for future reference.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies, industry trends, and best practices related to Java performance and distributed systems.


What You’ll Bring:

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Master's degree is a plus.
  • Proven experience (8+ years) as a Performance Engineer, preferably with a focus on Java-based systems.
  • Proficiency in Java programming language and deep knowledge of Java internals, memory management, and threading.
  • Strong experience with performance profiling tools and techniques to identify bottlenecks in code and system components.
  • Solid understanding of distributed systems architecture and design principles.
  • Familiarity with multi-cloud environments and hands-on experience in optimizing applications for cloud deployment.
  • Ability to analyze and interpret performance metrics to make informed decisions on system optimizations.
  • Experience with performance testing frameworks and load generation tools.
  • Familiarity with containerization technologies (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes) and their impact on application performance.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot and debug complex systems.
  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and present performance analysis findings.
  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of performance-related tasks and projects.
  • Certifications in performance engineering or relevant cloud platforms is a plus.
  • Openness to learning new technologies and adapting to evolving challenges.
