Performance Engineer

This is hybrid out of Cincinnati, OH. This candidate must already reside in Cincinnati. I have attached the job description for your review. They are looking to hire quickly for this position so the sooner the better. I have two spots open.

Performance Engineer III

The Performance Engineering practice, Technology is focused on optimizing the

performance and scalability of enterprise applications through the combination of:

Testing: Analyzing, planning and executing production-like simulations across mobile and web

solutions to identify & remediate performance problems, prevent production outages, and

guarantee predictable performance.

Diagnostics &; Monitoring: Instrumenting the complete application architecture to provide real

user and system performance data to provide insight into the root cause of all application

bottlenecks, enable real time visibility to reduce risk exposure.

Performance Analytics: Measuring the relationship between end-to-end performance, user

behavior, and business goals to maximize the business ROI, improve business KPIs, and

increase efficiency.

Business Optimization: Empowering technology/business stake holders with contextual

intelligence to visualize, quantify and maximize the business value of performance to improve

the quality & performance of the business, increase customer satisfaction, and protect Kroger

reputation.
