Job Description

Performance Quality Engineer optimizing performance for a microservices-based SaaS platform at 8am. Collaborating with various teams to ensure system reliability and performance metrics are met.

Responsibilities:

  • Design and create performance test suites for multiple product teams against a microservices-based SaaS platform running on AWS.
  • Operate and help maintain production-like environments for performance analysis, diagnosis, and regression testing.
  • Analyze application and infrastructure logs to identify, isolate, and help root-cause performance degradations.
  • Define, track, and report on performance KPIs (response times, throughput, error rates, resource utilization) and deliver trend analysis and projections to engineering leadership and product stakeholders.
  • Use usage and trend data to identify capacity risks and provide recommendations before they impact customers.
  • Collaborate with Platform Engineering, DevX, SDET, and Product teams to prioritize and validate performance improvements.
  • Partner with Security QE on the overlap between performance and security risk.
  • Identify and define nonfunctional performance tests for CI/CD pipeline gates (Integration, Regression, Post-Deployment).
  • Contribute to performance engineering standards, runbooks, and best practices within the QE organization.

Requirements:

  • 3+ years of hands-on performance testing and analysis on microservices-based, cloud-hosted (AWS) SaaS platforms.
  • Strong analytical skills with a demonstrated ability to move from symptoms to root cause.
  • Background in statistical analysis: trend modeling, interpolation, extrapolation, and capacity forecasting.
  • Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, ECS/EKS), Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with performance testing tools (k6, Gatling, Locust, JMeter, or equivalent).
  • Experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and log aggregation (ELK Stack, CloudWatch).
  • Scripting proficiency in Python or comparable language for test scenarios, data analysis, and light tooling.
  • Comfortable working asynchronously across multiple time zones in a remote-first team.
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken); Czech language skills are a plus but not required.

Benefits:

  • Diversity, equity & inclusion at 8am.
  • A strong team of people who are diverse in background, personality, talent and ideas.
  • Ensuring a diverse and inclusive workplace.
