Software Performance Engineer – AI Agent Focused
We are looking for a Software Performance Engineer who will build and improve AI agents that optimize, clean, simplify, and refactor our existing software.
Your main mission is to create a specialized AI agent that understands our codebase and actively helps us make it faster, cleaner, simpler, and easier to maintain.
This is a hands-on engineering role, not research-only. You will work directly with real production code.
What You Will Do
- Build and develop custom AI agents using Python
- Train and improve agents to:
- Optimize performance
- Simplify complex code
- Refactor legacy code
- Remove unused or dead code
- Feed error logs and performance data back into the agent so it can help fix issues
- Use LLMs effectively and optimize how they run on available hardware
- Profile code to find performance bottlenecks
- Optimize SQL queries and database usage
- Improve deployment processes and simplify releases for new websites and services
- Extend and improve existing agents over time
Tech Stack You Must Understand
You don’t need to be an expert in everything, but you must be comfortable working with:
- Python (main language for agent development, automation)
- PHP (reading, refactoring, optimizing existing code)
- SQL (MariaDB / MySQL optimization)
- Linux
- Shell scripting
- LLMs (prompting, integration, optimization)
What We Are Looking For
- Strong understanding of software performance and optimization
- Experience cleaning up and refactoring large or legacy codebases
- Practical experience with profiling, debugging, and performance tuning
- Comfortable working close to infrastructure and deployment
- Able to think in terms of automation and intelligent systems
- Clear communicator who can explain problems and solutions simply in English
Nice to Have (But Not Required)
- Experience building or extending AI agents
- Experience working with large-scale or long-running systems
- Knowledge of CI/CD and deployment automation
Why Join Us
- You will work on real problems, not demos or experiments
- Your work will directly improve how our software runs
- You will shape and own a core internal AI system
- High impact role with room to grow as the company scales
