About the role
- You will operate at the intersection of software engineering, performance engineering, and system reliability, with strong ownership of both functional automation and performance validation.
Responsibilities
- Build and maintain automated validation frameworks for APIs, distributed systems, and critical service workflows
- Develop integration and end-to-end validation suites that reflect real production use cases
- Design systems and tooling that improve testability, observability, and diagnosability
- Drive reduction of flaky or low-signal tests to ensure high signal-to-noise automation
- Design and implement load, stress, and endurance testing strategies for distributed systems
- Build and maintain performance test frameworks and workloads that model real traffic patterns
- Drive performance improvements by working directly in code, configuration, and infrastructure
- Where a culture driven by excellence helps you not only meet your goals, but also create new ones.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field
- 4-6 years of experience in software engineering, SDET, or related roles
- Hands-on experience with API and distributed systems testing
- Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter, Gatling)
- Familiarity with CI/CD systems and modern development workflows
Nice to have
- Experience in Production Engineering, SRE, or infrastructure-focused teams
- Familiarity with microservices and cloud-native architectures
- Experience with observability tools (e.g., metrics, logs, tracing-Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog)
- Knowledge of containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Exposure to resilience testing, chaos engineering, or fault injection
- Experience modeling production traffic patterns or capacity planning
Skills
- Strong systems thinking: understanding how components behave under load and failure
- Analytical debugging across functional and performance issues
- Pragmatic balance between engineering rigor and delivery speed
- What Success Looks Like
- Systems are validated against realistic production scenarios, not just functional correctness
- Performance risks and scaling limits are identified before production exposure
- Automation provides high confidence and actionable signal, not noise
- Improved system reliability through proactive validation of edge cases and failure modes
- Strong contribution to a culture of engineering ownership of quality and performance
Compensation
- $118,000 - $148,000 - $178,000 USD.
- A reasonable estimate of the current range for this position is: $118,000 - $148,000 - $178,000 USD.
Benefits
- Employees have Flexible Time Off (FTO), receive 11 paid holidays plus 3 floating days and are eligible for 14 weeks of primary caregiver or two weeks of secondary caregiver leave when welcoming new family members.
- Identify gaps in validation coverage and proactively improve system confidence
