Overview
Principal Performance & Scale Engineer
? Location: Hyderabad ? Work Arrangement: Hybrid – 2 days per week in the office
About the Role
We're looking for a technically exceptional and strategically minded Principal Performance & Scale Engineer to define and own Hyland's organization-wide approach to performance engineering. In this role, you'll set the standard for how we benchmark, test, and validate platform behavior at scale — building the systems, pipelines, and practices that ensure our enterprise platforms perform reliably under real-world, production-representative conditions.
You'll work across engineering, product, and SRE teams to establish performance SLOs, architect CI/CD-integrated benchmark pipelines, lead multi-billion-scale load campaigns, and close the loop between test environments and live production telemetry. You'll also push the frontier of AI workload benchmarking — evaluating inference latency, model-serving throughput, and resource consumption as Hyland's platforms become increasingly AI-first. If you're energized by building things that last,



influencing teams through credibility, and turning complex performance data into decisions that matter — we'd love to connect.
Your Role Responsibilities? Here's What You'll Do.
Define and own the organization-wide performance testing strategy — unified tools, scenarios, datasets, and metrics adopted consistently across every engineering team; establish performance SLOs jointly with Product and SRE, tracking and driving measurable improvements every release cycle.
Architect CI/CD-integrated benchmark pipelines with automated regression detection, ensuring regressions are triaged and actionable within hours — never discovered at release time; publish and maintain living performance baselines including throughput targets, latency budgets, and scalability envelopes per component, visible across the organization.
Lead multi-billion-scale benchmark campaigns that validate platform behavior under pro
