Performance Testing Manager

The Opportunity:

When a user tries a new technical solution, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful IT systems development—and that means rigorous performance testing.

The team actively conducts a performance analysis of systems and release activities to identify additional test needs for the client. This role will involve coordinating across multiple testing events that involve multiple vendors such as ADOs to facilitate testing activities. You will be leading and integrating testing coordination across Marketplace systems. This involves the review and identification of functional capabilities of a release and the test coverage required such as identification of network, compute, and storage performance requirements.
