Job Description

Join CloudBees, a leading software delivery platform, as a Senior Performance Engineer. In this role, you will define and implement performance engineering strategies, build automated performance tests, and partner with engineering teams to identify and resolve bottlenecks. You will have the opportunity to work remotely, enjoy comprehensive benefits, and invest in your professional growth.

  • Definir y establecer la estrategia de ingeniería de rendimiento para los productos y servicios distribuidos en su dominio.
  • Construir y mantener pruebas automatizadas de carga, estrés, picos, resistencia y escalabilidad como código versionado.
  • Colaborar con los equipos de ingeniería para identificar y resolver cuellos de botella antes de que lleguen a los clientes.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence technical decisions across teams
  • Truth Seeking — You hold a strong point of view and update it when the data says otherwise. You argue for the best answer regardless of who's in the room, and once a decision is made, you commit to it fully
  • Ability to translate business-critical user journeys and reliability expectations into realistic workloads, measurable thresholds, and actionable engineering recommendations
  • Hands-on experience with performance and load-testing tools such as k6, Gatling, JMeter, Locust, or equivalent
  • Direct Feedback — You give honest, constructive feedback regardless of seniority or tenure, and you actively ask for it in return. You deliver it with enough care that people want to hear it from you
  • High Agency — You own problems beyond your job description and move without waiting to be asked. When the path isn't defined, you make the call and bring people with you rather than working around them
  • 7+ years of experience in software engineering, performance engineering, site reliability engineering, or a closely related discipline, including substantial hands-on performance testing experience
  • Customer Obsessed — You treat customer problems as your own and build relationships with the people behind the logo, not just the account. You can point to decisions you changed because of what a customer told you
  • Experience analyzing latency, throughput, concurrency, error rates, resource saturation, and capacity limits
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Strong software development skills in at least one language such as Java, Go, Python, or JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Ship Excellence — You hold a painfully high quality bar and keep raising it, while shipping with urgency instead of waiting for perfect. Every iteration is something you learn from
  • Experience automating tests and quality gates in modern CI/CD pipelines
  • Experience using observability and profiling tools to isolate bottlenecks across application, database, network, and infrastructure layers
  • Hard Work — You own the end result, not just your slice of it, and you go beyond what's expected to get there. You work smart as well as hard, and you find real reward in building something demanding alongside people who do the same
  • Strong knowledge of distributed systems, APIs, microservices, containers, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure
  • Experience with enterprise DevOps, software delivery, developer platforms, or governance products
  • Experience testing large-scale Kubernetes or multi-tenant SaaS environments
  • Experience with OpenTelemetry and observability platforms such as Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, or New Relic
  • Experience with chaos engineering, resilience testing, capacity planning, or cost-performance optimization
