Job summary

Sutherland is seeking a Performance Engineer to design and execute performance testing across web applications, BI workloads, and ETL/data models in a SAFe environment. You will use JMeter, Playwright, Python, and TypeScript to script tests and translate SLAs into measurable thresholds.

Azure DevOps pipelines will integrate automated quality gates and reporting. The role requires 4–8 years in performance engineering, strong JMeter and scripting skills, and deep knowledge of SAFe practices.

Qualifications

• 4-8 years in performance engineering or test automation with a strong performance focus.
• Strong JMeter experience: test plans, correlation, parameterization, assertions, distributed execution, and result analysis.
• Playwright + JavaScript/TypeScript and Python for custom client-side, BI, and ETL performance scripting.
• Experience performance-testing web applications, BI tools, and ETL/data models.
• Azure DevOps experience: pipelines, CI/CD, test execution, and reporting.
• Working knowledge of SAFe and ability to operate in Agile Release Trains.
• Strong communication, root-cause analysis, and fast learning ability.

Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and analyze performance tests for web apps, BI reports/dashboards, and ETL/data models — JMeter (load, stress, soak, spike) for web, and custom Playwright/Python scripts for BI and ETL — and convert SLAs into measurable thresholds.
• Validate ETL pipeline and data-model performance — job runtime, data volume handling, transformation throughput, and downstream reporting impact.
• Assess BI performance — report/dashboard load times, query response, concurrent user load, and refresh/batch windows.
• Integrate performance tests into Azure DevOps pipelines with automated quality gates, reporting, and release readiness checks.
• Identify bottlenecks, publish clear findings, and work with development, QA, data, and operations teams.
• Participate in SAFe ceremonies (PI Planning, Sprint Planning, System Demo, Inspect & Adapt) and deliver against iteration/PI goals.
• Use GitHub Copilot (and MCP where available) to accelerate scripting, analysis, and documentation.
