Performance Engineer - Open Source, based in Italy
This role is designed for an exceptional engineer focused on improving software performance, correctness, scalability, and efficiency across the technology stack.
You will work across open source systems ranging from low-level infrastructure and kernels to runtimes, databases, applications, and web technologies.
The position combines deep technical investigation with hands-on engineering, allowing you to identify bottlenecks and develop meaningful performance improvements.
You will contribute to shared tooling, measurement frameworks, dashboards, test harnesses, and analytical capabilities that raise engineering standards across teams.
Beyond individual technical contributions, you will help build a strong performance culture through mentorship, training, technical leadership, and knowledge sharing.
The role offers exposure to diverse architectures, CPUs, cloud platforms, and software environments while collaborating with engineers and communities around the world.
It is particularly suited to a rigorous,
curious engineer who enjoys solving complex systems problems and using data-driven insights to improve both performance and correctness.
Accountabilities:
- Drive software performance, scalability, efficiency, and correctness within a specific engineering project.
- Analyze systems and code across the stack to identify performance bottlenecks, scalability limitations, and opportunities for optimization.
- Collaborate with engineering teams and open source communities globally to investigate and resolve complex technical challenges.
- Develop and contribute to shared tools and infrastructure for performance measurement, profiling, analysis, benchmarking, and reporting.
- Strengthen testing capabilities, test harnesses, and engineering pipelines to make previously difficult-to-measure system behaviors observable and verifiable.
- Establish and promote effective performance engineering practices, measurement framework
