Performance Engineer - Benchmarking

About the role

Join a forward‑thinking engineering team where performance, reliability, and scalability drive product development. As a Performance Engineer – Benchmarking you will design, build, and evolve benchmarking systems that help teams measure and optimise complex distributed applications.

Key responsibilities

• Build and continuously improve benchmarking, profiling, and load‑testing frameworks across cloud infrastructure, databases, and end‑to‑end environments.
• Design benchmark suites and reference workloads that reflect real‑world customer usage and evolve with product releases.
• Establish performance baselines, regression detection mechanisms, and measurement frameworks to ensure reliable results.
• Develop workflows that turn benchmark data into actionable insights, including regression triage, ownership routing, and reproducible reports.
• Collaborate with database, infrastructure, and product engineering teams to identify bottlenecks and drive measurable performance improvements.
• Create self‑service systems that enable teams to run performance tests independently and integrate benchmarking into CI/CD pipelines.
• Improve the reliability of load generators, benchmark environments, profiling processes, and analysis methods.
• Communicate credible performance metrics internally and externally through repeatable measurement practices.

Required profile

• Proven experience in performance engineering, benchmarking, and profiling of complex distributed systems.
• Hands‑on experience building reproducible, accurate benchmarking systems with tight variance control.
• Strong understanding of systems architecture, including databases, storage, networking, and cloud infrastructure.
• Ability to analyse performance issues, identify root causes, and deliver practical technical solutions.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to clearly explain technical findings and recommendations.
