System Performance Expert/ Site Reliability Engineer - TEMPORARY ALLOCATION (1st November 2026) (IRC294203)

Job Description

We are looking for system performance experts who can help us stress test both front-end activities and, most importantly, large-scale background processes such as payroll runs, while optimizing I/O. 

The specialists should have extensive experience in:

• Microsoft Azure databases
• Optimizing Redis caching and SQL queries (including indexing, query plans, and concurrency control)
• Network optimization (e.g., compressing front-end assets, minimizing payload size to the application server)
• Performance testing at scale (load, stress, soak testing; identifying bottlenecks under peak conditions)
• Fine-tune for scalability (horizontal scaling, load balancing, partitioning/sharding strategies)
• Asynchronous processing (job queues, batch processing, event-driven architectures)
• Database performance tuning (connection pooling, replication, failover strategies)
• Observability (metrics, logging, tracing, APM tools) to proactively detect and resolve issues
• Following strict governance on PII data.

Experience with agentic tools is a plus, but not required.

Job Responsibilities

We are looking for someone who not only identifies areas for improvement but actually resolves the issues.

We are looking for seasoned, self-starters who can identify bottlenecks, propose solutions, and execute independently.
