Job Summary
Job Title Site Reliability Engineer / Software Performance Engineer ________________________________________ • Job Summary • We are seeking an experienced engineer who can analyze, diagnose, and optimize performance and reliability of large-scale distributed systems. This role requires deep technical understanding across the entire application stack, the ability to read and reason about code, and the capability to provide data-backed answers to both engineering teams and business stakeholders. • This role goes beyond traditional operations or DevOps. The successful candidate will think like a software engineer, act like a systems engineer, and operate with a production-first mindset. ________________________________________ • Key Responsibilities • Performance & Reliability Engineering • Analyze and resolve performance issues such as high latency, slow login, throughput degradation, and system instability. • Perform deep, end-to-end investigations across the full stack including: • Load balancers and traffic routing • Web server and application runtime configurations • Middleware and messaging systems • Database performance (queries, indexing, pooling) • Kubernetes clusters (pods, resources, scaling behavior) • Linux OS tuning (CPU, memory, I/O, ulimits, networking) • Identify root causes and propose clear, actionable engineering solutions. • Distributed Systems Design • Design, review, and influence high-performance, highly-available distributed architectures. • Evaluate trade-offs related to scalability, latency, fault tolerance, and cost. • Partner with development teams early to prevent reliability and performance issues before production. • Capacity Planning & Scalability • Assess system readiness for growth scenarios such as: • “We plan to onboard 10,000 users in 6 months — can the system support it?” • Perform capacity and scale analysis for: • Application tiers • Databases • Messaging systems • Kubernetes compute and storage • Provide evidence-based recommendations supported by metrics, benchmarks, and production data. • Engineering Collaboration • Work closely with software engineering teams to: • Review performance-critical code paths • Propose improvements at code, configuration, or infrastructure level • Improve system observability (metrics, logs, traces) • Communicate complex technical findings clearly to both engineers and business stakeholders. • Required Technical Skills • Strong understanding of distributed systems and performance engineering • Ability to read, analyze, and troubleshoot Java code • Hands-on experience with: • Kubernetes (resource management, scaling, container behavior) • Linux internals and tuning • PostgreSQL (queries, indexing, performance optimization) • Proven experience
