About the role

We are looking for a Senior Performance Engineer to own and lead an enterprise-wide Performance Engineering function as a horizontal shared service across a global QSR digital ecosystem including web, mobile, kiosk, POS, loyalty, and payments systems. You will design and execute load, stress, and endurance tests using JMeter, k6, or similar tools, integrate automated performance validation into Azure DevOps CI/CD pipelines, partner with SRE and DevOps teams on chaos engineering experiments, and leverage AI-assisted workflows for performance planning and results triage.

What you will do

  • Own the enterprise Performance Engineering charter as a horizontal shared service, establishing engagement models and SDLC performance-readiness standards.
  • Design, script, execute, and report performance tests (load, stress, endurance, scalability) across high-volume ordering, kiosk, POS, loyalty, and payment flows.
  • Identify and resolve bottlenecks across application, database, messaging, and infrastructure layers using observability signals (e.g., Dynatrace).
  • Embed automated performance validation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps) with baseline and threshold gating.
  • Partner with SRE/DevOps teams to define reliability targets and run controlled chaos-engineering experiments (fault/latency injection, dependency degradation).
  • Define performance-readiness criteria, provide evidence-based go/no-go release recommendations, and assist with production performance-incident resolution.
  • Integrate AI-assisted workflows into performance planning, test-design acceleration, and results triage while maintaining AI-consumable artifacts and safety guardrails.

Must haves

  • 4+ years of experience in performance engineering or non-functional testing at enterprise scale.
  • Hands-on expertise with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, k6, LoadRunner, NeoLoad, or OctoPerf).
  • Experience with enterprise observability and cloud monitoring platforms (e.g., Dynatrace).
  • Demonstrated experience integrating automated performance validation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Azure DevOps).
  • Scripting and automation proficiency in Java, JavaScript, or Python.
  • Hands-on engineering experience in cloud environments (AWS or Azure).
  • Hands-on experience using AI-assisted engineering tools, including reviewing and validating AI-generated output.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder leadership skills with the ability to translate technical findings into clear business impact.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Direct experience partnering with SRE/DevOps practices on chaos engineering (fault/latency injection and dependency degradation testing).
  • Prior experience supporting digital platforms within quick-service-restaurant (QSR), retail, or high-volume transactional ordering ecosystems.
  • Experience maintaining AI-consumable artifacts (NFRs, workload models, baselines, thresholds) and defining AI guardrails.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
