Job Overview
We’re looking for a **hands-on Performance Test Architect** who can define strategy *and* actively build and execute.
This isn’t a pure oversight role — you’ll be designing performance frameworks, running tests, and working closely with engineering teams to solve real scalability challenges.
What you’ll do
- Own and drive the performance testing strategy across distributed systems
- Design *and implement* scalable test frameworks (k6(preferred), JMeter, ...)
- Embed performance testing into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
- Build observability using the Grafana stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo)
- Analyse results, identify bottlenecks, and lead performance tuning efforts
- Define SLIs/SLOs and ensure systems meet reliability targets
What we’re looking for
- Proven experience as a Performance Architect who still codes and tests
- Strong background in cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Docker)
- Solid scripting skills (JavaScript, Python, or Java)
- Deep understanding of system behaviour under load
- Experience with OpenTelemetry and modern observability practices
