Performance Tester | AWS + Gatling | Melbourne
I’m currently recruiting for an exciting Performance Engineer opportunity with a high-volume digital organisation in Melbourne.
This is a great opportunity for a performance engineer who enjoys going beyond simply running tests — getting into how systems behave under load, identifying bottlenecks, improving scalability and helping engineering teams build highly resilient platforms.
- What you’ll be doing
- Design and execute performance and load testing strategies
- Develop and maintain performance test scripts and tooling
- Analyse system behaviour across applications, APIs, data and infrastructure
- Identify performance issues, bottlenecks and scalability risks
- Work closely with engineering, delivery and operational teams
- Contribute to capacity planning and usage modelling
- Support the development of highly scalable, resilient and recoverable systems
- Help develop performance engineering capability across the wider technology organisation
- Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines
What we're looking for
Essential
- Strong commercial experience in Performance Engineering / Performance Testing
- Hands-on experience with Gatling
- Strong experience working with AWS / public cloud
- Experience developing quality code and working with software development practices
- CI/CD experience, ideally with Jenkins and/or Git Hub
- Strong Git experience
- Good understanding of *nix/Linux environments
- Ability to deep-dive into technical issues and drive resolution
- 4+ years' experience in performance engineering
Nice to have
- Python
- AWS Cloud Formation
- JMeter or other performance testing tools
- SQL
- Log analysis / monitoring tools
- Test automation frameworks
Why consider it?
This isn't a traditional QA role.
You'll have the opportunity to work across the full technology stack, influence how systems are designed for scale, and play a key role in ensuring platforms can handle significant and unpredictable volumes.
