Bachelor’s degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience
8+ years of experience in software development and/or testing with deep expertise in performance testing
Strong coding skills in object-oriented languages such as C# and JavaScript
Proficiency with Git and modern CI/CD pipelines
Strong SQL skills to write, modify, and analyze queries for performance testing
Understanding of system architecture concepts including APIs, caching, load balancers, and queues
Ability to analyze complex systems and translate findings into actionable recommendations
Clear communicator who partners effectively across technical and non-technical teams
Strong ownership, accountability, and ability to influence technical direction
What you’ll be doing:
Own performance testing strategy and execution for assigned applications and platforms
Design, build, and maintain performance testing frameworks for API and web-based systems
Develop and execute performance test scenarios and datasets using tools such as JMeter, BlazeMeter, Taurus, and SqlQueryStress
Analyze response times, throughput, concurrency patterns, and system behavior under load
Use observability and monitoring tools including Datadog, Grafana, and Splunk to correlate test results with system metrics
Identify performance bottlenecks and collaborate with engineering and infrastructure teams to drive remediation
Evaluate environment and infrastructure requirements and make recommendations to meet expected SLAs
Produce clear performance test reports outlining risks, findings, and recommendations
Drive continuous improvement through automation, tooling enhancements, and AI-enabled solutions
Mentor and support Automation Engineers in performance testing best practices
What’s in it for you:
Competitive base salary of $98,630-$140,000
Flexible work hours and work-from-home options
Reimbursement for continuous education and technical training
