Recognizing that everyone brings their own strengths, backgrounds and new perspectives, we empower you to be yourself. That uniqueness shapes the culture of belonging we are so proud of.

The Role
As a Performance Engineer, you will work within a team that provides performance testing and experimentation expertise to development teams and also bridges performance testing capabilities to allow those teams to self-serve. You will own and become subject matter experts of areas of performance engineering technology stack and will be the go-to person for those areas. You thrive on technological advancement of the team and always working towards its improvement.

What You’ll Be Doing

• You will provide direct or consultative performance engineering expertise to development teams or projects that span a small set of development teams.

• You aim to have development teams self-serve as much as feasibly possibly but also may need to drive performance engineering risk mitigation efforts for a project or change.

• Your work is also typically focused on building and maintaining performance engineering infrastructure for development teams.

We'd Like You To Master In

• Proficiency in utilizing testing and monitoring tools, as well as performance load simulators. (Prior experience with tools such as Locust and Datadog is highly desirable.)

• Experience for writing distributed, highly scalable and available test infrastructure, backend systems or APIs using Java and/or Python or similar programming languages.

• Proficiency in working with distributed systems, microservices, containerized applications, and their associated infrastructure, such as Kubernetes (k8s).

• Knowledge of event-driven architecture and queueing services.

• Test automation scripting and iteration including test data management.

• Monitoring, analysing and reporting performance test results.​/

• Experience in implementing, managing, and enhancing continuous integration pipelines. (Familiarity with tools such as Buildkite and Terraform is preferred.)

• Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and technologies, preferably AWS.

As a Performance Engineer at Blip, it's not just about technical knowledge. We value (a lot) a strong set of soft skills - being a team player and promoting a healthy environment within your team is just as important. This means that we'll be expecting a strong set of soft skills as well - excellent communication (in Portuguese and English), common sense, proactivity and a passion for the art of problem-solving.
