Design and run performance engineering engagements so high-transaction platforms hold under load.

About the role

You will join the Quality Engineering practice on programmes where performance, scalability and release windows are part of the commercial outcome — not an afterthought.

  • Execute tests, analyse bottlenecks and report clear remediation paths
  • Work with application and platform teams to validate fixes under load
  • Maintain reusable scripts, environments and reporting for repeat engagements
  • Support release readiness conversations with evidence, not opinion

What you’ll bring

  • Hands-on experience with performance tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling or equivalent
  • Ability to interpret metrics, isolate bottlenecks and write clear findings
  • Comfort working against enterprise release calendars and shared environments
  • Solid understanding of web, API and backend performance fundamentals

Nice to have

  • Cloud performance or observability tooling experience
  • Prior work on banking or payments platforms
  • Scripting in Python, JavaScript or Groovy
