WHY JOIN ALO

Mindful movement. Its at the core of why we do what we do at ALOits our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat making their lives and their communities better. Thats the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life.

OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Software Engineer Performance Engineering to join a team focused on improving the speed scalability and reliability of our web and mobile platforms. This is a fully hands-on technical role responsible for designing executing and scaling performance engineering practices across frontend and backend will work closely with digital application platform and data teams to identify performance bottlenecks implement measurable improvements and embed performance best practices into development workflows.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Design implement and execute performance testing strategies including load stress spike endurance and benchmarking tests for web mobile and backend systems.
• Use and maintain performance testing tools such as k6 Gatling JMeter Locust and related frameworks to build reproducible and scalable test suites.
• Analyze Improve and resolve performance bottlenecks across the stack including frontend rendering APIs services databases caching layers networking and distributed systems.
• Drive backend and infrastructure performance improvements focusing on latency throughput resource utilization and system efficiency.
• Integrate performance testing and regression detection into CI/CD pipelines ensuring performance is continuously measured and protected.
• Design and build profiling tracing and telemetry solutions using observability tools.
• Partner with engineering teams to identify and solve performance challenges providing deep technical guidance and hands-on support.
• Develop and lead adoption of performance engineering best practices across multiple teams helping embed performance considerations early in design and development.
• Design experiments analyze performance data and provide actionable recommendations ensuring improvements are measurable and sustainable.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5 year of experience in software engineering with strong focus on performance optimization scalability or observability.
• Strong understanding of distributed systems concepts (caching concurrency queuing resource contention etc.).
