| Nov 16, 2016 at 22:45 | comment | added | MPelletier | @kaptan all of the above. Some of the problems I've tackled over the years required going back to the algorithms used and how they were implemented (graphs, like back in school!), others involved caching and building dictionaries, pre-sorting data, changing queries, adding or removing database indexes, all the way down to twiddling with calculations and finding out which types could be preferred and how much precision was required. I haven't done any assembly tweaking professionally but only because there was no need to at the time. | |
| Nov 16, 2016 at 21:34 | comment | added | Prodnegel | I would take a look at Process Engineering, it strives to optimize the process of which it is based. | |
| Nov 16, 2016 at 21:30 | comment | added | Kilisi | I don't think I have seen a job which is solely about optimisation of existing products. Projects are more likely candidates. I think developers are expected to optimise as part of their normal role rather than bring someone in to rewrite their code and do it for them. | |
| Nov 16, 2016 at 21:03 | comment | added | kaptan | can you be more specific about the optimization you are interested in? is it algorithm optimization or optimization in general? is it optimization at high scale or micro optimization? | |
