Permanent | Hybrid (Leeds – 3 days onsite)
I’m currently working with a key client undergoing a large-scale technology transformation, and they’re looking for a Performance Test Engineer to join their growing engineering team.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to move beyond pure execution into a role where you can shape performance strategy, influence engineering practices, and mentor teams while still staying hands-on.
What you’ll be doing
* Driving and evolving the performance testing strategy
* Working closely with engineers, architects, and product teams
* Introducing best practices and QE (Quality Engineering) ways of working
* Running proof of concepts on new tools and technologies
* Troubleshooting performance and scalability issues across environments
* Supporting shift-left testing and embedding performance into the SDLC
What they’re looking for:
* Experience with tools like JMeter, LoadRunner, or K6 is a nice to have
* Strong performance troubleshooting and analysis skills
* Exposure to cloud environments (Azure ideal)
* Experience with monitoring tools (e.g. Application Insights, New Relic)
* Ability to work with logs/metrics (SQL, KQL, NRQL etc. a plus)
* Someone who can mentor others and drive standards
