Senior Platform Engineer – Performance

Role Overview

• Design and develop a scalable, self-service performance testing framework (using tools like k6 or Locust).
• Write production-grade code (Go/Python) to abstract away infrastructure complexity.
• Embed performance gates directly into our deployment pipelines (GitHub Actions/GitLab CI).
• Partner with Principal Engineers to analyze "third-order" effects in our distributed systems.
• Create documentation, reference implementations, and "Golden Paths" that teach our engineering organization how to fish.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience writing backend code (Go, Python, or Java) and you understand software design patterns.
• You have experience building tools for other developers.
• You have deep experience with load, stress, and scalability testing.
• You are comfortable working with Kubernetes, Docker, and Cloud infrastructure.
• Experience with script-as-code tools (k6, Locust) is highly preferred over UI-based legacy tools (JMeter, LoadRunner).
