Description
We are seeking a skilled and proactive Performance Engineer to join our team in building high-performing, reliable, and scalable SaaS products. In this role, you will take ownership of performance-related initiatives—designing and executing comprehensive performance and load tests, identifying system bottlenecks, and delivering clear, actionable recommendations for optimization.
You will collaborate closely with cross-functional engineering teams to integrate performance best practices across the entire development lifecycle. This includes conducting technical assessments to enhance system scalability, capacity, and reliability, as well as contributing to the design and development of automated tests and test frameworks.
Our team works in an ownership-based environment, giving you the autonomy to define how best to achieve shared goals. We value initiative and expect team members to proactively bring forward ideas, challenge assumptions, and continuously improve both processes and systems.
The platform you’ll be working on supports large-scale data integration and entity matching across heterogeneous sources. The current engineering focus is on modernizing the architecture to improve scalability and orchestration readiness, refactoring core services, and laying a strong foundation for future AI-based capabilities. This is a high-impact role with clear roadmap milestones and alignment with a multi-year digital transformation strategy.
