Summary - Must-Haves: • Strong Python development • Performance tuning/testing experience (main focus) • Experience improving app speed • PostgreSQL and DB optimization • 7–10 years experience (Senior-level) • Familiarity with profiling tools Secondary Skills: • Frontend with Vue.js or React.js • Understanding of full stack debugging Preferred: • Experience in AI/ML tools or concepts • Knowledge of Go (Golang) for data ingestion • Real-time monitoring and alert systems Project Details / Open Reason: Primary Focus: STAB Application Optimization The initial responsibility will be to enhance the performance of an internal tool called STAB, which monitors downtime in the Athena system. When excessive downtime is detected, clients are credited accordingly. STAB generates reports and analyzes root causes of system issues. Secondary Focus: AI-Driven Projects If the performance tuning phase progresses efficiently, the developer will transition into one or both of the following AI initiatives: 1. Change Impact Dashboard • Build a system that identifies and summarizes changes contributing to system downtime • Use AI to collect and analyze data from multiple sources • Develop a dashboard that answers: • “What changes occurred since the last release?” • Summarize code changes and detect recurring patterns 1. Predictive Monitoring System • Collaborate on a high-performance system that collects real-time data • Help build a machine learning model that defines “what good looks like” • Enable early alerts (15 minutes before potential failure) based on trend analysis • Use high-performance languages (e.g., Go) for data collection; Python for alerting and integration Candidate Skills and Responsibilities: • Performance tuning/testing- this is the main thing after Python he wants, if they don’t have it, probably not a fit. If they can show that they have improved the speed of an application they have worked on, they are probably good. • Review and optimize the existing Python codebase • Improve speed, efficiency, and maintainability • Transform the application from a sluggish tool into a high-performing system • Postrgres experience • Excellent data base skills and experience • JavaScript front end experience specifically with Vue or REACT • Sr level- 7-10 yrs exp • Use of profiles: Day to Day Responsibilities: • Performance tune/test the STAB application and make it faster • Find out what is slowing it down and fine tune • Need to understand the application, standing use of the profile and find out what are the bottlenecks and start refining it. • After every iteration, they need to go back and look at it again to make sure it has improved – even a bunch of 5% improvements will get them where they want to be • They need to look at code base Desired skill: • Experience with system monitoring, reporting, and debugging • Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and tools • Exposure to high-performance languages like Go (Golong) is a plus • Ability to work across data collection, model development, and alerting systems Strong communication and collaboration skills
