Job Description Responsible for identifying and resolving end-to-end performance bottlenecks across distributed systems, Spring Boot services, middleware components, and hybrid cloud environments (private cloud + AWS).

Ideal candidates have extensive experience with high-scale, multi-region, and high-transaction platforms (e.g., financial systems, payment processing, or large enterprise SaaS) running in a Cloud environment. Key Responsibilities- Define service-level objectives (SLOs), performance budgets, and latency/throughput targets across services.
- Architect and champion comprehensive distributed tracing strategies (Dynatrace, AWS X-Ray, etc.).
- Analyse application, platform, and cloud behaviour using deep-dive techniques such as heap dumps, thread dumps, flame graphs, GC logs, network traces, and storage I/O profiling.
- Review service and system architectures for performance risks (e.g., synchronous hops, excessive dependencies, misconfigured connection pools, poor cache placement).
