Description
We are seeking a highly specialised freelance expert to dive deep into the setup, diagnose bottlenecks, and implement targeted optimisations to restore peak performance. This is a high-impact, short-term engagement with the potential for ongoing advisory work.
Key Responsibilities
Conduct a comprehensive performance audit of the eFront installation, including VM configuration, application layers, and SQL Server database interactions.
Identify and resolve lagging issues, such as query inefficiencies, resource contention, indexing problems, or configuration mismatches in the VM/SQL environment.
Optimise database performance (eg tuning SQL queries, schema adjustments, and maintenance plans) while ensuring data integrity and compliance with PE industry standards.
Fine-tune VM resources (memory allocation, CPU, storage I/O) and eFront-specific settings to eliminate bottlenecks without disrupting live operations.
Collaborate remotely with the client’s internal team to document findings, provide root-cause analysis, and deliver a handover report with preventive recommendations.
Test and validate fixes in a staging environment before production rollout, aiming for measurable improvements (eg reduced load times by 50%+).
Required Qualifications
Proven eFront Expertise: Hands-on experience with eFront platform implementation, customisation, and troubleshooting, including post-BlackRock acquisition versions (eg eFront Office, Portfolio Monitoring modules).
Database Mastery: Deep knowledge of Microsoft SQL Server (2016+), with expertise in performance tuning, query optimisation, indexing, and monitoring tools (eg SQL Server Profiler, Extended Events).
Performance Troubleshooting: Track record of resolving complex lagging/performance issues in enterprise financial software, with familiarity in tools like New Relic, AppDynamics, or Windows Performance Toolkit.
If you have the required skill set and interested to apply, please send your CV now for immediate consideration.
