Our Team

The Cloud Architecture Performance Solutions (CAPS) team is a unique and important group of people whose primary focus is to analyze engineering deliverables, whether inhouse or at a customer, evaluate their performance and functionality, and work closely with engineering and testing to identify problems and opportunities. In addition, a performance architect might be asked to assess Next Gen Cloud Architecture products & features for production performance readiness, or conduct/document large stress tests such as the “1012 node stress test" conducted in the AWS environment in Fall 2021 or analyze performance of a new chip such as ARM.  Benchmarks, customer workloads, and unique one-off testbeds are among the tools used in this team.  This is a new and extremely useful Engineering role and the dividends have already been demonstrated by the existing team.

Your Opportunity

• As a Next Gen Cloud Architecture Performance Architect, you will be responsible for evaluating specific Next Gen Cloud Architecture features in a variety of environments using a variety of techniques. You might work closely with a customer to enable their workload, or you might work directly with engineering to evaluate Next Gen Cloud Architecture products/features, such as optimizer features, the cache, or the new object store file system.
• Customer-facing work might involve: Work with early adopters. Load strategies, physical design, performance analysis and tuning. Analyze product/feature gaps based on early customer experience & provide feedback to engineering.
• Internal work might involve: work with R&D to performance test the product/feature in different scenarios: industry benchmarks, specific operations (tactical, etc.)
