About the role

At 8am, quality is not a phase-it's a mindset woven into every conversation, decision, and line of code.
You will work directly with Platform Engineering, development teams, and product leadership to surface performance risks before they become customer-facing problems.

Responsibilities

Design and create performance test suites for multiple product teams against a microservices-based SaaS platform running on AWS.
Operate and help maintain production-like environments for performance analysis, diagnosis, and regression testing.
Define, track, and report on performance KPIs (response times, throughput, error rates, resource utilization) and deliver trend analysis and projections to engineering leadership and product stakeholders.
Collaborate with Platform Engineering, DevX, SDET, and Product teams to prioritize and validate performance improvements.
Partner with Security QE on the overlap between performance and security risk.
This role will collaborate with Security QE to integrate security-informed scenarios (authentication storms, TLS renegotiation abuse, API rate-limit validation) into performance test plans, and surface high-resource-cost endpoints to security for assessment.
Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to improve workflows, enhance decision-making, or drive innovation.
Engagement: Virtual and in-person team-building events, quarterly award recognition through our Rise & Shine Award of Excellence Program, and our peer-to-peer appreciation platform.

Requirements

3+ years of hands-on performance testing and analysis on microservices-based, cloud-hosted (AWS) SaaS platforms.
Strong analytical skills with a demonstrated ability to move from symptoms to root cause.
Experience with performance testing tools (k6, Gatling, Locust, JMeter, or equivalent).
Experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and log aggregation (ELK Stack, CloudWatch).
Scripting proficiency in Python or comparable language for test scenarios, data analysis, and light tooling. Coding experience is a plus, but this role prioritizes performance engineering skill over software development depth.

Skills

Actual compensation may vary based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience and education.

Compensation

8am is committed to offering competitive, fair and commensurate compensation and has provided an estimated pay range for this role.

Benefits

We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package including annual bonuses, equity options and 401(k) or RRSP if in Canada, with a company match for all team members.
Time for what matters: Flexible Time Off, paid holidays, and a parental leave program for our new parents.
Wellness: Wellness stipends, mental health support, and one-on-one nutrition coaching.
Learning and Development: Continuous learning through 8am.edu, leadership programs, professional development funds, and individually focused talent development.
Giving back to the communities around us: Participate in our charitable matching gift program, paid time off for volunteer service, and company-sponsored volunteer events (both local and virtually).
At 8am, we don't just offer benefits - we create an environment where people can thrive, grow, and make a real impact every day.
