15 Performance Analyst Jobs

Responsibilities

As a Performance Analyst for storage and networking I/O subsystems, you’ll be running workloads that simulate real client operations, with the goal of stressing these subsystems. Across different operating systems, machine types, adapters and fabrics, you’ll develop experimental plans to ensure that our I/O performance meets clients’ requirements, and, when it doesn’t, you’ll dive in to the stack to find a solution. You can expect to partner with hardware engineers and software developers at every level of the stack from the chip and the bus through adapter vendors to the operating system kernel right through to the hypervisor and Kubernetes-based technologies that power the hybrid cloud. You’ll also get great insights in to the workloads that enterprises run, from databases through AI applications. This is a great role for anyone who loves solving problems and is fascinated by how bits move within and between computers.
