Remote, United States
Our take: The real work here is building reusable performance platforms and AI-assisted tooling so engineering teams can own their own performance testing, influencing broad adoption without direct authority.
If you love building the paved road that makes other engineers faster, this is your kind of work: reusable performance platforms, self-service tooling, and AI-assisted workflows that many teams can pick up and own. You will trade one-off consulting for durable capabilities that scale, influencing teams by making the right thing the easy thing rather than by authority. It suits someone who thinks in systems, writes clearly, and finds satisfaction in quiet, broad impact across an async, fully remote org.
