Senior Performance Engineer

Job role: Senior Performance Engineer

Location: Plano, TX (5 days on-site)

Duration: Fulltime

About the Role

Client is seeking an experienced Senior Performance Engineer to join its enterprise applications team. The successful candidate will lead performance engineering for a business-critical enterprise application suite in preparation for its go-live at a Client property.

The role is responsible for establishing performance baselines, validating that the application scales to production traffic volumes, and confirming that it operates within its sized capacity on production hardware. The application is hosted on Red Hat OpenShift running on on-premises servers, across both non-production and production environments. As this infrastructure has fixed capacity, and additional hardware requires significant procurement lead time, accurate measurement and forecasting are central to the position.

The Senior Performance Engineer will work independently, conducting their own research and analysis, and will collaborate closely with development, database, platform engineering and vendor teams.
