Some profiles simply test performance.

The Challenge
You will lead strategic performance testing and performance engineering initiatives — defining non-functional requirements, conducting volumetric analysis, investigating multi\-tier issues, establishing system health KPIs, and proposing long-term technical improvements.
You will also maintain constant interaction with technical and business stakeholders, global teams, onsite/offshore resources, and leadership — making communication as critical as technical depth.
We seek experience in:
\+10 years in Performance Testing / Performance Engineering
\+5 years in a lead role, onsite coordination, or operations with global teams
Tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, NeoLoad, or similar

This role demands an uncommon combination:
Deep technical expertise to investigate root causes.
Sound judgment to prioritize under pressure.
Leadership to guide other engineers.
Clarity to explain complex findings to non-technical audiences.
And a continuous improvement mindset — not settling for “it works”, but ensuring scalability, resilience, and evolution.
