It captures the diverse production workloads that run across Client's server fleet - including the social graph data store (TAO), recommendation systems, Instagram/Django, web serving (HHVM), and the data warehouse - through a set of representative macro-benchmarks, microbenchmarks, and integrated performance-monitoring and reporting tooling. DCPerf is a critical input to new hardware bring-up and the New Product Introduction (NPI) process and is used in close collaboration with industry partners such as AMD, ARM, and NVIDIA to tune hardware and project future CPU generations. * Maintaining DCPerf's accuracy, representativeness, and ease of use directly shapes the hardware design and procurement decisions for Client's datacenters. * In this role, you will help sustain and extend DCPerf's benchmarking, automation, CI/CD, and reporting infrastructure, and contribute to active initiatives such as DCPerf containerization and DCPerf Mini., * Execute DCPerf and other industry-standard benchmarks across all generations of servers in Client's datacenter. Gather, analyze, and report benchmark results together with the relevant performance, micro-architecture, and power data - supporting both DCPerf benchmark updates and the NPI process for evaluating new server hardware, to validate benchmark behavior and surface performance problems. * Develop and maintain DCPerf's open-source installation flow and both internal and GitHub CI/CD pipelines. * Develop and maintain unit and integration tests in DCPerf, and continuously improve test coverage. * Develop and maintain DCPerf's automation and result-reporting pipelines. * Drive DCPerf containerization to further reduce the operational burden for DCPerf's internal and external users and make it easier to use, including: (1) developing a self-contained, pre-built benchmark package internally; and (2) developing and releasing open-source DCPerf container images to GitHub. Surrounding team & key projects: * Automation workflows Typical Day-to-Day in the role: * Write code and run experiments and tests How will performance be measured? * Meeting deadlines, executing tasks with accuracy, etc. What makes this role interesting? * Being able to contribute to Data Center benchmarks that will impact the next generation data center designs at Client - they will also have access to high performance machine Interview Process: How many rounds of interviews? 2 rounds Types of Interviews: Technical - Coding w/ some computer systems and architecture ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [Hiring AI Native Talents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100268-hiring-ai-native-talents) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) - [From Vibe Coding to Viable Code with Spec-Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100216-from-vibe-coding-to-viable-code-with-spec-driven-development) ## Related Articles - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [How Much Does a Software Engineer Make?
