Performance & Automation Engineer I

TrueNAS is redefining enterprise storage by delivering proven data resilience, performance, and flexibility without the complexity or constraints of legacy solutions. The Performance & Automation Engineer will focus on building and maintaining automated test infrastructure and conducting performance engineering for solution integrations, ensuring product quality and performance benchmarks are met.

Responsibilities:

• Develop, maintain, and execute automated test cases covering Web UI and API layers
• Build and maintain CI pipelines, using tools such as Jenkins, to enable consistent, repeatable testing across development cycles
• Execute and analyze automated security testing results; triage and collaborate with developers to drive resolution
• Work with release engineering to support product release readiness
• Design and execute performance qualification test plans for TrueNAS solution integrations, for example, OpenShift, S3, and Veeam
• Identify performance bottlenecks and regression patterns within integration stacks; contribute findings to product and engineering discussions
• Contribute to automated performance testing frameworks to support continual process improvement
• Support sales and customer success teams on performance-related engagements when needed
• Author performance white papers and sizing guides for key integrations (e.g., Veeam, OpenShift, S3) for use by sales, support, and customers
• Produce clear test reports and performance summaries for engineering, product management, and go-to-market stakeholders

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or equivalent experience
• Coding proficiency in Python and/or Java/Groovy for test automation and scripting
• Experience with CI/CD tooling, specifically Jenkins pipeline development

• Working knowledge of Linux or other *NIX-based operating systems
• Familiarity with Jira or equivalent issue tracking platforms
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret test data and identify trends
• Clear written communication — this role produces externally-facing technical content
• Self-directed; able to translate high-level requirements into detailed test plans with minimal guidance
• Hands-on experience with TrueNAS, OpenZFS, or Linux
• Experience with enterprise integrations: OpenShift, Veeam, S3-compatible object storage, or similar
• Background in data storage networking (NFS, SMB, iSCSI, S3)
• Experience authoring technical white papers or performance reference guides
• Familiarity with relational databases
