    Requirements

    • Deep experience in performance engineering, specifically performance analysis of complex distributed systems
    • Ability to analyze performance issues across the entire stack from query optimizer to kernel and network layers
    • Expertise in either Linux kernel internals (virtual memory, scheduling, networking, IO) or database internals (query planning, storage engines, buffer and WAL management)
    • Strong knowledge of networking and cloud infrastructure performance including TCP behavior, network virtualization, and AWS primitives
