Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) to identify bottlenecks and land concrete performance improvements.
Enable the company to publish credible, repeatable performance numbers for customers and the market.
Help teams self-serve performance testing and make performance a first-class engineering concern.
Problems you might work on
Build our continuous benchmarking infrastructure so product teams can spot performance regressions early. Ideally, teams can run benchmarks directly on PRs or locally while developing a feature.
Analyze and eliminate issues with load generators, workloads or benchmark environments to ensure that benchmarks are reliable indicators for actual product performance.
Build regression triage tooling that pinpoints what changed (diffing, profiles/traces, query-level attribution).
Help product teams so they can analyze the root cause of performance regressions in benchmark environments themselves.
What we’re looking for
Deep experience in performance engineering, benchmarking, and profiling of complex distributed systems. Specifically, you have owned benchmarking systems where reproducibility and controlling variance mattered.
Strong systems intuition (databases, storage, networking, cloud infrastructure).
Comfortable working across product, infra, and database teams.
Pragmatic, tooling-oriented mindset with strong communication skills.
Depth on at least one end of that stack: Linux kernel internals (virtual memory, scheduling, networking, IO) or database internals (query planning, storage engines, buffer and WAL management)
