Role Overview
We are looking for a Senior SDET specializing in Performance Engineering in a cloud-native
Azure setting. This role focuses on driving scalability, reliability, and performance
validation across distributed microservices systems. The candidate will design automated
performance frameworks, build simulators and mocks, define KPIs, and partner with
engineering, architecture, and SRE teams to ensure production-grade resilience.
Key Responsibilities
• Design and implement end-to-end performance and load testing strategies for
microservices-based systems
• Build custom simulators, traffic generators, and mocks for complex system dependencies
• Define, measure, and track performance KPIs (latency, throughput, error rate, saturation,
scalability limits)
• Develop fully automated performance test frameworks integrated into CI/CD pipelines
(Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab)

• Collaborate with architects, developers, product owners,



and SRE teams to optimize
system performance
• Analyze bottlenecks across application, database, and infrastructure layers
• Work closely with Azure services (AKS, compute, storage, networking) for performance
tuning
• Implement observability using Prometheus, Grafana, and APM tools
• Optimize Redis caching, database queries (MariaDB, MySQL, etc), and messaging systems
• Support resilience engineering and chaos testing (Chaos Monkey or equivalent)
• Drive RCA for performance issues and production incidents
• Contribute to capacity planning and scalability strategy
Required Skills
• Strong experience in performance testing tools (K6, JMeter, Gatling, and creating custom
frameworks)
