Senior SDET

Were looking for a Senior-level Performance Test Engineer / Senior SDET to help us elevate performance testing as a core Quality practice across our cloud-native platform.

Youll act as a Quality and Performance Engineer who builds tooling frameworks and infrastructure that development teams trust and adopt. Performance is a key focus of this role but it is one aspect of a broader mission: enabling teams to build scalable reliable and production-ready systems.

Performance requirements are often implicit or under-defined part of your role to help define what needs to be tested and how it should be measured.

This role sits within our Test Enablement group and implies close collaboration with development teams other SDETs acting as Quality champions and the Production Engineering team.

Responsibilities

You will have the opportunity to:

• Implement and evolve performance and reliability tests for cloud-native microservices-based systems
• Collaborate with Test Enablement and development teams to apply an existing performance testing direction and build upon it over time
• Build and maintain performance test components for load generation ramp-up and steady-state testing result collection and analysis
• Execute performance tests in CI/CD pipelines and support their integration into regular development workflows
• Use observability tools to analyze visualize and communicate performance results including latency distributions throughput and error rates
• Store track and compare performance results over time to help identify regressions and trends
• Assist in emulating realistic customer environments including networking certificate-based flows and multi-service interactions
• Partner with development teams to help them understand performance test results and improve system behavior under load
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions related to test infrastructure and performance
