June 15, 2025

Job Description

As a System Performance Analyst, you will be crucial to ensuring top-rated average overall performance of IBM’s organization server and cloud systems. You will:

  • Analyze, benchmark, and track workload typical performance in the course of the stack—from hardware microarchitecture, hypervisors, and virtualization layers to operating systems and database engines.
  • Lead debugging efforts for production normal overall performance issues, taking factor with firmware, software program, and hardware engineering corporations.
  • Develop automation frameworks, traditional usual overall performance test times, and reporting gear to reveal and improve device typical basic performance.

🔧 Key Responsibilities

Performance Analysis & Tuning

  • Characterize and benchmark workloads (e.G., SAP HANA, I/O, cloud applications) on IBM Power and x86/Linux structures.
  • Identify bottlenecks at CPU, reminiscence, hypervisor (PowerVM, KVM, z/VM), I/O subsystems, and database layers.

Environment Setup & Tooling

  • Build test environments leveraging IBM PowerVM virtualization and hybrid cloud infrastructure.
  • Utilize gear like vmstat, iostat, nmon, topas, plus profiling and analytics equipment to build up and interpret typical overall performance information.
  • Develop automation scripts (Python, Bash, Ansible) and dashboards to streamline common overall performance trying out .

Collaboration & Optimization

  • Work carefully with firmware, OS, hypervisor, storage, and database corporations to refine accepted normal performance.
  • Provide tuning suggestions for virtualization and database general overall performance (e.G., Oracle, SAP HANA).

Benchmarking & Reporting

  • Design and execute benchmark and strain conditions for IBM Z, LinuxONE, or hybrid cloud setups.
  • Simulate real-international workloads, interpret wellknown overall performance outcomes, and manual device and shape upgrades.

👨‍🎓 Qualifications & Technical Skills

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or associated issue (Master’s desired).

Experience:

  • 8–15+ years in IT/engineering, with three–6+ years focused on device overall performance analytics .
  • Strong fingers-on revel in with Linux and virtualization machine (PowerVM, KVM, z/VM).

Technical Proficiency:

  • Deep statistics of laptop form, OS internals, hypervisor and virtual I/O components.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, Python, Bash, Golang, with familiarity in Java, Rust.
  • Performance tuning revel in with database engines (Oracle, SAP HANA).
  • Skilled in usual performance profiling gadget and automation (vmstat, topas, iostat, nmon, Ansible).

Soft Skills:

Excellent conversation and presentation capabilities to articulate overall performance insights and collaborate with bypass-useful companies
