Performance Engineer - Performance Analysis & Tuning
About […]
[…] is the Postgres development platform, built by developers for developers. We provide a complete backend solution including Database, Auth, Storage, Edge Functions, Realtime, and Vector Search. All services are deeply integrated and designed for growth.
We're hiring experienced performance engineers to find and land performance wins across the […] stack — from the query optimiser to block device level, and across the network paths and cloud infrastructure that connect our distributed platform.

- Partner closely with database teams (e.g. Multigres, OrioleDB) and infra teams to land concrete performance improvements.
- Build, communicate, and evolve performance methodologies and tooling that turn live production data into actionable insight.
- Partner with the obse
