Remote Performance Tester

Introduction to the Role

Are you a detail-oriented tester with a passion for optimizing software performance in large-scale distributed systems? Join our fully remote engineering team as a Performance Tester and bring your analytical mindset to an innovative environment where precision, scalability, and speed drive real-world impact. This is more than just a QA role—it's an opportunity to influence software architecture, system responsiveness, and customer satisfaction metrics. With a competitive annual salary of $98,889, you’ll enjoy the freedom to operate from any location globally while contributing to the development and delivery of high-performance, enterprise-grade applications.

Key Responsibilities

Performance Testing and Analysis

• Design, implement, and execute performance testing strategies across web and API-based systems.
• Simulate large-scale user traffic using tools like JMeter, Gatling, or Locust to evaluate system behavior under load.
• Conduct a detailed analysis of response times, throughput, and resource utilization to identify performance bottlenecks.

Metrics and Reporting

• Generate meaningful dashboards and test summaries that highlight response patterns, system stability, and latency issues.
• Collaborate with data teams to benchmark performance against SLAs and historical metrics.

Continuous Improvement

• Recommend architectural changes, caching strategies, or backend enhancements to elevate system performance.
• Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or CircleCI.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner with development and DevOps teams to troubleshoot performance anomalies.
• Provide feedback on the system architecture and configuration to enhance scalability and reliability.

Work Environment and Culture

Innovation-Driven Environment

You'll work in a remote-first, agile-driven environment where experimentation is encouraged and results are celebrated. Our product teams are empowered to iterate rapidly and make decisions backed by performance metrics and customer impact.

Fully Remote and Global Team

This role is open to talented professionals from around the world, regardless of their time zone. With asynchronous workflows and daily standups, your autonomy is respected, and your impact is global.

Data-Centric Decision-Making

We value empirical decision-making. You'll have access to system telemetry, real-time monitoring, and historical logs to drive accurate diagnostics and continuous enhancements.
