Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Embed performance engineering early in the development lifecycle by partnering with architects and feature teams to define and validate performance/scalability requirements before code is finalized.
- Develop, integrate, and maintain performance testing tools and automated performance checks within CI/CD pipelines to catch regressions early.
- Analyze database and application performance, identify bottlenecks, and collaborate to remediate issues using data from load tests and production telemetry.
Minimum Requirements
- Minimum 10 years of software engineering experience, including at least 6 years in performance engineering or related disciplines.
- Proficient in Linux command line and scripting languages such as Bash/Korn, Python, or Perl for automation purposes.
- Hands-on experience with performance/load testing tools including JMeter, LoadRunner, and modern frameworks like k6, Gatling, or Locust integrated into CI/CD.
- Strong knowledge of large-scale database performance evaluation, including SQL query analysis, index design, and experience with Oracle AWR/ASH or equivalent tooling.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experienced in embedding shift-left performance engineering practices into development workflows, influencing architecture and design early on.
- Demonstrated ability to write and review production-level code alongside performance testing and automation.
- Familiar with cloud-native infrastructure including Kubernetes or similar platforms and able to handle large-scale, fintech-related systems performance challenges.
