- Define performance baselines, SLOs, and regression gates integrated into CI/CD
- Instrument test runs with profiling and APM tooling to identify throughput bottlenecks and latency regressions
- Build scalable performance test harnesses using Locust, k6, or equivalent frameworks
Collaboration & Communication:
- Act as a technical lead and quality champion, influencing engineering culture, coding standards, and test coverage expectations
- Mentor mid-level and senior engineers on automation patterns, code quality, and testing strategy
- Partner with product managers to define acceptance criteria and quality gates at the story level
- Drive root cause analysis on escaped defects and build preventive test coverage
Requirements
