Requirements

  • Demonstrated experience building backend or platform software and developing internal platforms or developer-facing tooling.
  • Experience partnering with software development teams to improve engineering workflows, productivity, and operational practices.
  • Experience applying AI-assisted development practices across the software lifecycle, including implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, or automation.
  • Practical experience with software performance, such as performance analysis, optimization, benchmarking, or leading performance-related engineering improvements.
  • Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and k6, along with Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, or comparable cloud infrastructure.
  • Ability to design durable, reusable solutions that support broad adoption through strong systems thinking.
  • Strong backend engineering and platform design skills, with an understanding of scalable developer infrastructure and self-service capabilities.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and collaborate effectively across teams without relying on direct authority.
  • Ability to work effectively in an asynchronous environment and collaborate broadly across research and development organizations.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to turn complex or ambiguous performance challenges into practical, scalable engineering solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Build and continuously evolve reusable backend platforms and developer tooling that support performance testing, analysis, benchmarking, and optimization.
  • Create self-service workflows, documentation, templates, diagnostics, and AI-assisted engineering capabilities that reduce reliance on bespoke performance support.
  • Enable feature teams to integrate performance testing into their own development and continuous integration workflows.
  • Apply AI-enabled development practices to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, documentation, and engineering automation.
  • Improve performance results, reporting, trend visibility, and evidence-based decision-making so engineering teams can evaluate performance independently.
  • Help establish the documentation, templates, standards, and guidance required to expand self-service adoption across research and development.
  • Influence engineering teams to make performance testing and analysis an integral part of development and release preparation.
  • Turn hands-on engagements and recurring performance challenges into generalized capabilities that can be adopted by multiple teams.
  • Provide technical expertise for complex performance questions, tooling improvements, and new platform capabilities.
  • Collaborate asynchronously and cross-functionally with development teams to build solutions that scale beyond individual engagements.
