Senior Performance Engineer (SRE/DevOps) Do you dream of making proactive performance improvements in production environments using your data analysis, profiling, and software tools expertise? Do you enjoy enabling engineering teams to observe how their code and services are performing so they can easily optimize the experience for the end-user? Do you pride yourself on tools that can help triage and pinpoint root causes of problems in seconds, not hours or days? Have you developed seamless dashboards that convey meaningful business data, software readiness, and service/system health to executives but also support drill down technical analysis for Tier 1-3 support and engineers? If your daily vocabulary consists of terms like utilization, response time, throughput, latency, relative, absolute, variance, instrumentation, parallel, asynchronous, utilization, bottleneck, tracing, resource contention, and MTTR then Climate is the place for you. Climate has a unique value proposition over other companies - our engineering organization wants guidance from Performance Engineering experts, giving them the freedom to specify and utilize the best of breed tools and best practices. You won’t spend your time testing with synthetic workloads overcoming skepticism; you’ll be working directly on production without the stress of daily firefighting.
