- Work on shared tools and infrastructure for performance measurement, analysis, and reporting.
- Collaborate with development teams to embed performance considerations and active benchmarking into the software lifecycle.
- Publish performance test results, providing stakeholders with clear, actionable insights and visualizations.

🎯 What We’re Looking For

- Advanced degree in Computer Science, HPC, or related field.
- 5+ years of practical experience in performance modeling, testing, analysis, and optimization for critical software systems. Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., gprof) and frameworks (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner) is a plus.
- Experience with setting up and maintaining continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines with automated performance testing and benchmarking.
- Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, Java, or similar.
- Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills with a keen attention to detail.

💎 Nice To Have

- Familiarity with automated performance monitoring, alerting, and regression detection tools and techniques.
- Experience in creating and running benchmarks for system-level and component-level performance measurements.
- Advanced data analysis skills to identify performance trends, anomalies, and areas for optimization.
