Title and Summary Senior Software Engineer (SRE) - Performance Engineering Are you passionate about optimizing high‑scale payment systems? Join us to drive performance for Mastercard Payment Gateway Services (MPGS), where millions of transactions flow daily through hosted checkout, REST APIs, wallet integrations, network tokenization, and fraud‑screening workflows. You’ll analyze end‑to‑end latency across authorization flows, routing, risk checks, and multi‑region services while shaping the performance strategy for a global payment gateway. You’ll build targeted load tests, simulate real merchant traffic, and help engineering teams deliver low‑latency, high‑throughput, resilient services. If you’re energized by performance challenges in real‑time digital commerce, we’d love to meet you. Responsibilities Lead deep performance investigations across distributed, multi‑region payment services and real‑time transaction flows. Analyze latency, throughput, saturation, and failure modes across data‑plane and control‑plane components. Collaborate with platform, infrastructure, and networking teams to optimize runtimes, containers, APIs, and service‑to‑service communication. Define performance standards, SLAs, benchmarks, and system‑level expectations for global payment traffic. Mentor engineers and influence architecture and design decisions across multiple teams. Build scalable, cost‑efficient performance testing frameworks that emulate real merchant traffic and diverse MPGS integration patterns. Enhance observability and diagnostics to surface bottlenecks, hotspots, and performance degradation trends. Partner with risk, security, and fraud teams to ensure added controls maintain throughput and low latency under load. Drive continuous optimization initiatives to ensure low‑latency, high‑availability, high‑throughput payment processing. Qualifications 5+ years of relevant experience in performance engineering, backend engineering, or distributed systems work. Strong expertise in distributed systems, real‑time services, and high‑scale, low‑latency architectures. Deep understanding of networking, concurrency, caching, replication, data structures, and scaling patterns. Proven track record of diagnosing, profiling, and improving performance in large-scale production environments. Hands-on experience with performance testing and analysis tools, such as: Load testing: JMeter, Gatling, Locust, k6 Profilers: YourKit, JProfiler, async-profiler, perf, FlameGraphs Monitoring/Observability: Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, New Relic, DataDog, Dynatrace, OpenTelemetry Distributed tracing: Jaeger, Zipkin Practical experience with cloud-native systems (Kubernetes, service mesh, autoscaling, API gateways, CI/CD). Strong skills in Java, JVM tuning, and performance optimization (or similar high-performance languages). Familiarity with message queues, caches, and storage systems such as Kafka, Redis, Hazelcast, Cassandra, or Aurora/RDS. Ability to influence technical direction without authority, mentor engineers, and drive performance best practices across teams. Comfortable working in mission-critical, high-availability environments, ideally involving payment gateways, REST APIs, or other latency-sensitive transactional systems.
