Ciena Canada, Inc. is a technology company that prioritizes innovation and customer satisfaction.
We are currently seeking an experienced Software Performance Engineer to join our team in the Optical Networks organization. The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring the quality and performance of software developed for our Reconfigurable Line System (RLS) product.
The RLS is a high-capacity networking platform with advanced software capabilities. It features an intelligent control plane for fast service activation and improved availability, enabling rapid adaptation to problems, outages, and other issues that could impact network performance. Our open APIs and micro-services architecture facilitate seamless integration and customization, enhancing operational efficiency and service velocity. These APIs enable collaboration with third-party systems and applications, providing flexibility and choice for network operators.
As a leader within the team, you will provide guidance and direction to designers, ensuring effective performance investigations align with current priorities. You will play a critical role in ensuring designers have a thorough understanding of use cases and performance targets, empowering them to effectively address any performance issues that may arise. Leveraging your deep understanding of customer use cases and requirements, you will shape software design that consistently meets and surpasses high-performance standards.
You will analyze and optimize software performance, focusing on critical RLS use cases such as control plane traffic restoration following an outage, declarative config, streaming telemetry, zero-touch provisioning, span calibration, software upgrades, and circuit pack restarts. You will collaborate with design teams to ensure efficient feature design, provide documentation and training on performance guidelines and best practices, automate performance analysis, and contribute to improving the software delivery pipeline to proactively detect performance issues before they impact the production environment.
About the Role:
- Provide technical leadership and guidance to a team of designers, ensuring their effective participation in performance investigations.
- Foster a collaborative and innovative team environment, empowering designers to address performance issues and drive continuous improvements.
- Analyze and optimize the software performance of the RLS product, highlighting areas for improvement and proposing effective solutions.
- Work closely with design teams to review and consult on feature design, ensuring efficiency and performance are prioritized.
- Develop comprehensive documentation on performance guidelines and best practices.
- Conduct training sessions to educate designers on performance considerations and best practices.
- Automate performance analysis processes to ensure consistent and efficient evaluations.
- Contribute to improving the software delivery pipeline to proactively detect and address performance issues before they impact the production environment.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand performance requirements and develop solutions accordingly.
- Stay updated with the latest software engineering trends, techniques, and technologies.
- Participate in code reviews and provide recommendations for performance improvements.
- Collaborate with customers and stakeholders to understand their performance requirements and address any performance-related concerns.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or a related field. An advanced degree is a plus.
- Proven experience as a Software Engineer, with a focus on performance analysis and optimization.
- Knowledge of performance profiling and optimization techniques for distributed systems.
- Experience with performance testing methodologies and tools, such as load testing and stress testing.
- Familiarity with the RLS product or similar networking devices.
- Proficient in C/C++, Python, or other programming languages.
- Good understanding of Linux operating system and computer architectures.
- Experience with performance analysis tools such as Linux perf, flame graphs, or other.
- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.
- Ability to work effectively in a team environment.
- Experience in creating technical documentation and conducting training sessions.
- Familiarity with machine learning and data analytics techniques for performance analysis.
Salary: $120,000 - $160,000 per annum, depending on experience
