TSED - Performance Engineer

Job Description

The Role
As a Performance Engineer , you will work within a team that provides performance testing and experimentation expertise to development teams and also bridges performance testing capabilities to allow those teams to self-serve. You will own and become subject matter experts of areas of performance engineering technology stack and will be the go-to person for those areas. You thrive on technological advancement of the team and always working towards its improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing

• You will provide direct or consultative performance engineering expertise to development teams or projects that span a small set of development teams.

• You aim to have development teams self-serve as much as feasibly possibly but also may need to drive performance engineering risk mitigation efforts for a project or change.

• Your work is also typically focused on building and maintaining performance engineering infrastructure for development teams.

We'd Like You To Master In

• Proficiency in utilizing testing and monitoring tools, as well as performance load simulators. (Prior experience with tools such as Locust and Datadog is highly desirable.)

• Experience for writing distributed, highly scalable and available test infrastructure, backend systems or APIs using Java and/or Python or similar programming languages.

• Proficiency in working with distributed systems, microservices, containerized applications, and their associated infrastructure, such as Kubernetes (k8s).

• Knowledge of event-driven architecture and queueing services.

• Test automation scripting and iteration including test data management.

• Monitoring, analysing and reporting performance test results.​/

• Experience in implementing, managing, and enhancing continuous integration pipelines. (Familiarity with tools such as Buildkite and Terraform is preferred.)

• Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS.

As a Performance Engineer, it's not just about technical knowledge. We value (a lot) a strong set of soft skills - being a team player and promoting a healthy environment within your team is just as important. This means that we'll be expecting a strong set of soft skills as well - excellent communication (in Portuguese and English), common sense, proactivity and a passion for the art of problem-solving.
