Niche performance engineering skills and deep systems expertise reduce applicant competition despite mid-level experience requirement.
Highly domain-specific systems and production troubleshooting expertise limits easy cross-industry transferability.
Explicit 5+ years requirement plus mandatory domain-specific debugging, profiling, and networking skills enforce strict candidate filters.
Investigate and perform root-cause analysis of complex software failures and performance issues across application, system, network, database, and infrastructure layers.
Design, execute, and analyze Performance Test Cases to identify bottlenecks, regressions, and scalability limits, communicating findings with clear evidence and recommended actions.
Develop diagnostic tools and scripts, maintain technical documentation, and mentor engineers in systematic debugging and root-cause analysis.
5+ years of experience in software engineering, performance engineering, systems engineering, reliability engineering, or production troubleshooting, preferably in a product-based software company.
Proficiency in programming/debugging in at least one major language such as Java, C++, C#, or Python.
Strong understanding of operating system concepts (processes, threads, memory, CPU, file I/O, sockets, synchronization) and networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, HTTP/HTTPS, DNS, latency, timeouts).
Experience with application profiling, performance analysis, log and trace analysis, and diagnosing concurrency, latency, resource contention, or scalability issues.
Demonstrates deep technical curiosity to understand software systems beyond black-box testing and can reason about product architecture and workflows.
Strong analytic mindset with persistence to challenge assumptions and validate hypotheses systematically when troubleshooting complex software problems.
Effective communicator who collaborates with developers to identify root causes and takes ownership of complex investigations end-to-end.
