Key highlights
- Level Required: 4–8 years in performance engineering or test automation with a strong performance focus
Role overview
We are looking for a Performance Engineer to design and execute performance testing across web applications, BI workloads, and ETL/data models in a SAFe environment. The role requires strong hands-on experience with Apache JMeter, JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, and Playwright for custom web, BI, and ETL performance scripting.
Responsibilities
- Design, execute, and analyze performance tests for web apps, BI reports/dashboards, and ETL/data models — JMeter (load, stress, soak, spike) for web, and custom Playwright/Python scripts for BI and ETL — and convert SLAs into measurable thresholds.
- Validate ETL pipeline and data-model performance — job runtime, data volume handling, transformation throughput, and downstream reporting impact.
- Assess BI performance — report/dashboard load times, query response, concurrent user load, and refresh/batch windows.
- Integrate performance tests into Azure DevOps pipelines with automated quality gates, reporting, and release readiness checks.
- Identify bottlenecks, publish clear findings, and work with development, QA, data, and operations teams.
- Participate in SAFe ceremonies (PI Planning, Sprint Planning, System Demo, Inspect & Adapt) and deliver against iteration/PI goals.
- Use GitHub Copilot (and MCP where available) to accelerate scripting, analysis, and documentation.
Requirements
- Azure DevOps pipeline experience is required.
- Ability to learn quickly is essential.
- Hands-on use of GitHub Copilot is needed.
- 4–8 years in performance engineering or test automation with a strong performance focus.
- Strong JMeter experience: test plans, correlation, parameterization, assertions, distributed execution, and result analysis.
- Playwright + JavaScript/TypeScript and Python for custom client-side, BI, and ETL performance scripting.
- Experience performance-testing web applications, BI tools, and ETL/data models.
- Azure DevOps experience: pipelines, CI/CD, test execution, and reporting.
- Working knowledge of SAFe and ability to operate in Agile Release Trains.
- Solid understanding of HTTP/APIs, data flows, and core performance metrics (latency, throughput, error rate, concurrency, job duration).
- Practical experience with GitHub Copilot.
- Strong communication, root-cause analysis, and fast learning ability.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent experience.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with MCP is a plus.
- Deeper ETL / data pipeline background.
- BI tools such as Power BI, Tableau, Cognos, or similar.
- k6, Grafana, Datadog, Application Insights, or other observability tools.
- Cloud experience (Azure preferred).
Additional details
- All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
