• Lead troubleshooting and resolution of complex production reliability and performance issues.
• Analyze applications end-to-end to identify bottlenecks, failures, latency, and scalability issues.
• Drive improvements in reliability through SLIs/SLOs, monitoring, automation, runbooks, and incident reduction initiatives.
• Use metrics, logs, traces, and observability platforms to identify root causes and validate fixes.
• Perform and guide performance profiling, load/stress testing, capacity planning, CPU/memory analysis, database/query tuning, and latency analysis.
• Support enterprise applications across technologies such as Java, .NET, web/UI technologies, and legacy platforms.
• Work across cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Lead or actively participate in critical incident response, root-cause analysis, and post-incident reviews.
• Partner across application, infrastructure, architecture, and operations teams to implement durable solutions.
• Drive measurable improvements in application performance, availability, incident recurrence, and MTTR.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of relevant software engineering, SRE, performance engineering, production engineering, or application reliability experience.
• Strong hands-on experience troubleshooting complex enterprise applications in production environments.
• Strong knowledge of performance engineering, including profiling, latency analysis, load/stress testing, capacity planning, and performance tuning.
• Experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP.
