Job description

Senior Application Performance Optimization Engineer • Clearance: Active TS.
• Location: On-site at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (JBAB)
• Benefits: Medical, Dental, Vision, Retirement and more
• Reason for the position: Team expansion FTE on contract with ample runway
• Qualifications: Preferably those that show Professional and/or Expert level in load balancers, firewalls, protocol and/or packet tracing. Since there is no perfect certification path for this role, heavier weight is placed on relevant experience. What This Job Feels Like
• Work spans applications, systems, and network layers depending on where performance issues appear. • Daily focus on high-impact challenges that directly relate to the users’ quality of experience - solving complex performance problems is the norm. • Ownership of optimization projects from root cause identification to the establishment of resolution plans and performance improvement. • High OPTEMPO - individuals must be able to self-manage task lists based on communicated priorities What You’ll Do
• Diagnose and optimize application performance end-to-end, from operating systems and middleware down to packet-level analysis. • Analyze DNS, load balancers, firewalls, and application architecture to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies. • Collaborate with development, systems, and network teams to implement optimization solutions. • Perform root cause analysis for latency, throughput, and availability issues. Drive remediation and efficiency improvements. • Mentor less-senior engineers in monitoring, instrumentation, and performance troubleshooting. Tech Knowledge / Skills
• Expertise in application and middleware performance monitoring (web apps, databases, APIs). • Deep understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/S, SSL/TLS, and related protocols. • Expertise in and hands-on experience with load balancers, firewalls, and packet capture/analysis tools (Wireshark, tcpdump, etc.). • (Preferred) Familiarity with APM platforms and system-level troubleshooting across OS and network layers. Requirements
• 8+ years experience in application performance optimization, systems, or network engineering in secure/cleared environments. • Active TS; must be able to obtain TS/SCI. • Demonstrated progressive responsibility and ownership indicative of senior expertise.
• DoD 8140 compliance required
• The likely salary range for this position is $140,000-$220,000. This is not, however, a guarantee of compensation or salary. Rather, salary will be set based on experience, and contractual agreements and could fall outside of this range.
