Our team is focussed on ensuring performance of the product that delights the users and makes them want to use Appsmith for every app they build again and again. Performance of appsmith should be a differentiating factor from its competitors. The performance perceived by the end user directly correlates to their impression of the quality of the product.

- Ability to collaborate with customers, cross functional backend, frontend and product teams to triage prod issues and come up with a clear RCA and a plan of action to fix the issue.
- Read and assimilate performance profiles from frontend and backend and identify solutions for the latencies identified in the profiles.
- Define north star metric and execute long term roadmap for defining performance as the distinguishing factor for Appsmith from its competitors.
- Comprehend multi micro-service based complex systems on their own and iteratively improve the system performance sprint by sprint measured with absolute observability data.
