Performance Tester | AWS + Gatling | Melbourne

\n

I’m currently recruiting for an exciting Performance Engineer opportunity with a high-volume digital organisation in Melbourne.

\n

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 \n

\n
• Design and execute performance and load testing strategies
\n
• Develop and maintain performance test scripts and tooling
\n
• Analyse system behaviour across applications, APIs, data and infrastructure
\n
• Identify performance issues, bottlenecks and scalability risks
\n
• Work closely with engineering, delivery and operational teams
\n
• Contribute to capacity planning and usage modelling
\n
• Support the development of highly scalable, resilient and recoverable systems
\n
• Help develop performance engineering capability across the wider technology organisation
\n
• Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines
\n

What we're looking for Essential: \n

\n
• Strong commercial experience in Performance Engineering / Performance Testing
\n
• Hands-on experience with Gatling
\n
• Strong experience working with AWS / public cloud
\n
• Experience developing quality code and working with software development practices
\n
• CI/CD experience, ideally with Jenkins and/or GitHub
\n
• Strong Git experience
\n
• Good understanding of *nix/Linux environments
\n
• Ability to deep-dive into technical issues and drive resolution
\n
• 4+ years' experience in performance engineering
\n

Nice to have: \n

\n
• Python
\n
• AWS CloudFormation
\n
• JMeter or other performance testing tools
\n
• SQL
\n
• Log analysis / monitoring tools
\n
• Test automation frameworks
\n

Why consider it? \n

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.
