What you need

- Proven track record designing and running performance, stress, and load tests at scale using tools like JMeter, Locust, Gatling, or k6
- Direct experience embedding automated quality gates into modern CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitOps) within containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes/EKS) on public clouds (AWS)
- Experience testing event-driven architectures (Kafka, SQS) and relational/NoSQL databases, ensuring data consistency and transactional integrity under load
- An innate drive to eliminate manual friction, proactively seek out edge cases, and acquire whatever missing domain context is needed to solve complex quality challenges end-to-end
Nice to have
- Experience with tokenization, payment processing, or security products
- BA/BS degree
- A knack for out-of-the-box thinking that thrives in a fast-paced startup environment
