Senior Performance Test Architect

We’re looking for a **hands-on Performance Test Architect** who can define strategy *and* actively build and execute. This isn’t a pure oversight role — you’ll be designing performance frameworks, running tests, and working closely with engineering teams to solve real scalability challenges. What you’ll do: • Own and drive the performance testing strategy across distributed systems • Design *and implement* scalable test frameworks (k6(preferred), JMeter, ...) • Embed performance testing into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions) • Build observability using the Grafana stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo) • Analyse results, identify bottlenecks, and lead performance tuning efforts • Define SLIs/SLOs and ensure systems meet reliability targets What we’re looking for: • Proven experience as a Performance Architect who still codes and tests • Strong background in cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Docker) • Solid scripting skills (JavaScript, Python, or Java) • Deep understanding of system behaviour under load • Experience with OpenTelemetry and modern observability practices \n \n
