About the role

As a Performance Testing Engineer, you will help ensure that our applications deliver excellent performance, scalability, and reliability before reaching production.

You will collaborate with business stakeholders, developers, testers, architects, DevOps Engineers, and Infrastructure Teams to design, execute, and analyze performance tests that validate system behavior under realistic workloads. Your work will contribute directly to improving customer experience, reducing production risks, and supporting high-quality software delivery across multiple business domains.

This role offers the opportunity to work with modern performance engineering practices, enterprise-scale applications, cloud-native technologies, CI/CD pipelines, and observability platforms while continuously

developing your technical expertise across different technology stacks.

Why Join Us

You'll become part of a growing Performance Engineering team responsible for ensuring the scalability, resilience, and reliability of enterprise applications across multiple business domains and entities.

Working alongside experienced engineers, you'll gain exposure to enterprise-scale systems, modern testing technologies, observability platforms, automation practices, and cloud-native architectures while contributing to a culture of continuous improvement and excellence in engineering.
