📋 Description

• Find bottlenecks in live production systems and characterize them precisely enough that the owning team can act on them without you in the room. • Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) and infra teams to land concrete performance improvements. • Build, communicate, and evolve performance methodologies and tooling that turn live production data into actionable insight. • Partner with the observability team to capture the right signals and establish a unified view of platform performance (latency, throughput, tail behavior) across products. • Help teams self-serve performance analysis and make performance a first-class engineering concern.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep experience in performance engineering, specifically performance analysis of complex distributed systems. • You can walk the whole stack: follow a tail-latency problem from the query optimizer through the syscall boundary to the IO scheduler — or across pooler hops, network paths, and availability zones — reading profiles and traces at every layer. • Depth on at least one end of that stack: Linux kernel internals (virtual memory, scheduling, networking, IO) or database internals (query planning, storage engines, buffer and WAL management) • Strong working knowledge of networking and cloud infrastructure performance: TCP behavior under load, network virtualization overhead, and the performance characteristics of AWS primitives (EBS throughput and IOPS, instance network limits, placement groups, cross-AZ latency). • Proven ability to turn performance insights into real product and architecture improvements — including getting teams you don't belong to to prioritize and ship the fix. • Strong written communication: your problem characterisations are precise, reproducible, and compelling on their own. • Pragmatic, tooling-oriented mindset; comfort working across product, infra, and database teams.
