Web Infrastructure Engineer optimizing Node.js runtime and frontend architecture for Attio's AI-native CRM. Leading performance initiatives while collaborating with engineering teams.
Responsibilities
Lead initiatives to improve performance in both the frontend (React, web workers, bundling) and backend (Node.js runtime, TypeScript pipelines, and I/O efficiency)
Use profiling and benchmarking techniques to identify and eliminate bottlenecks and memory leaks in our Node.js services and client-side application code
Build and integrate metrics, tracing, and performance dashboards to make performance data accessible and actionable across teams
Reduce build and CI/CD overhead by optimising dependency management, incremental builds, caching strategies, and monorepo workflows
Define internal best practices, guidelines, and tooling for the web infrastructure that scale with the company
Represent Attio’s Product & Engineering values both internally and externally
Requirements
Deep expertise in JavaScript and TypeScript performance on both client and server, including event-loop behaviour, garbage collection, async I/O, and memory management
Proven experience designing and optimising internal API and service-layer architecture — particularly frameworks that coordinate data fetching, caching, and state management across large React/TypeScript codebases.
Strong familiarity with performance tooling such as Chrome DevTools, Node profiler/inspector, flamegraphs, Lighthouse, APM platforms, and runtime exploration tools
Strong understanding of frontend performance patterns (lazy loading, route-level splitting, bundle analysis, caching strategies, web workers)
Experience using Real-User Metrics (RUM) to guide and prioritise performance improvements, and comfort working with tools such as Datadog, Sentry, Prometheus, Grafana, or OpenTelemetry
Systems-level understanding of build and CI/CD pipelines (Yarn, pnpm, npm, esbuild, Vite, Turborepo, Rsbuild, incremental builds)
Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence engineers across product teams to align on performance strategy
