Only Performio allows you to manage incentive compensation complexity and change over the long run by combining a structured plan builder and flexible data management. The component-based plan builder makes it easier to understand, change, and self-manage than traditional formula or rules-based solutions.

The combination of these two functions, allows us to deliver more powerful reporting and insights. And while every vendor says they are a partner, we truly are one. We not only get your implementation right the first time, we enable you and give you the autonomy and control to make changes year after year. And unlike most, we support every part of your unique configuration. Performio is a partner that will make you a customer for life.

What’s the opportunity?
As a Lead Engineer, you will play a leading role in turning our product vision into reality, while working with other senior Product Engineering staff to design and develop our systems.
You’ll join an enthusiastic and experienced Product Engineering team in our Bangalore office, with plenty of flexibility to work from home as required. When you join our team, you’ll be the development lead for India, which currently consists of one team with expectations to expand.
This isn’t your average Lead Engineer role; expect to be heavily involved in product discovery as the Engineering voice alongside your peers in Product and Design. You’ll be engaged in forward planning while also coaching and pairing with your team to execute on product requirements.
Our product is written mainly in Java, Spring and ReactJS, and runs on AWS across multiple regions. We use tools like GitHub, Docker and Buildkite and deploy our systems and monitor our technology using CloudWatch, OpsGenie and Open Telemetry while embracing AI tooling to deliver with efficiency. We’re looking for someone to help us evolve how our systems hang together while we grow our team and capability.
What will I be doing?
- Creating change in a complex system. The technical lead for a team, making well-considered decisions around patterns, principals, frameworks, languages and tools, thinking through and mitigating for potential cascading impacts of those changes.
- Acting as a trusted advisor. Partner with PMs, engineers and customer-facing teams to negotiate appropriate product architectures with consideration for user needs, business goals and technology constraints.
- Designing and developing well-architected systems. Understand and contribute to our product source code and cloud infrastructure.
- Designing holistically, delivering iteratively. Break down system-wide architecture recommendations into small, intelligently planned increments for delivery.
- Advocate for technology needs. Translate technology risk into opportunity during product and technology roadmap discussions and advise on the required areas of focus.
- Coach and mentor. Thoughtfully lead the team around you and assist with career development of less experienced staff on our teams.
What we’re looking for
- Demonstrated experience as a lead or staff engineer, with at least 8 years experience in technology roles
- Experience working on technical leadership teams involved in roadmap planning, hiring and staff capacity planning
- You’re opinionated on what “great code” looks like and you’re passionate about code quality
- Experience working on complex systems and cloud architectures
- Excellent understanding of the Java programming language, frameworks such as Spring & SpringBoot and frontend frameworks like React.
- Excellent understanding of data structures and database design
- Excellent knowledge of AWS services, design patterns and practices
- Highly effective at communicating, and comfortable whiteboarding architecture ideas with teams of engineers, product managers, and business analysts
- Desire to challenge the status quo and maturity to know when to compromise
- Respect for and ability to collaborate and influence team members from all disciplines and at all levels throughout the business
Why us?
We’re fast-growing, but still at a size where everyone can make a big impact (and have face time with the CEO). We genuinely care for our customers and we are passionate about solving our customers’ sales compensation challenges. Led by a strong set of company values, we play to win and are incentivized to succeed through our employee equity plan.
We’ve adapted well to the work from home lifestyle, and encourage flexible working arrangements. Some of our staff work full time from home, while others prefer working from one of our offices, or a combination of home and office.
Our values speak strongly to who we really are. They mean a lot to us, and we use them every day to make decisions, and of course to hire great people!
- Play to win - we focus on results, have a bias to action and finish what we start
- Paint a clear picture - we’re clear, concise and communicate appropriately
- Be curious - we surface alternative solutions and consistently expand our knowledge
- Work as one - we all pitch in but also hold each other to account
- Do the right thing - we put what’s right for our customers over our own ego
Don’t check every box in our job description? That’s ok! As the Harvard Business Review points out, research conducted by Hewlett Packard shows that men typically apply to jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, while women and those from marginalized groups tend to only apply when they feel they meet 100%. If you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet all of the requirements listed in the job description, please still reach out. We’d love to have a conversation to see if you could be a great fit!
