Performance Test Engineer assigned to your roadmap.
A Performance Test Engineer finds the point where your system stops coping, before your users do it for you on a launch day.
Assigned under one service agreement with a minimum monthly capacity in hours, run by a service delivery manager in Chiang Mai, Thailand — five hours ahead of Northern Europe.
This role is delivered as part of our QA and test automation services. Take the role on its own, or the whole discipline as one delivery team.
What a Performance Test Engineer does on an outsourced QA team.
Skills and scope are agreed before delivery starts, so the first sprint is productive rather than a ramp-up month. The work runs to the same backlog, the same repositories and the same definition of done as your own team's.
Performance Test Engineer skills and technology we assign for
-
Load, stress, spike and endurance testing modelled on realistic traffic rather than round numbers.
-
Profiling and bottleneck analysis across application, database and infrastructure layers.
-
Establishing performance baselines so regressions are caught in CI rather than in production.
-
Capacity modelling ahead of a known traffic event, so infrastructure is sized before rather than during.
-
Setting performance budgets in CI so a slow regression fails a build.
Seniority levels we assign.
Mid to senior, usually assigned at partial capacity around a launch or migration. Seniority is one of the inputs in how the monthly fee is built.
When a Performance Test Engineer is the right assignment.
Usually assigned ahead of a major launch or a migration, then retained at lower capacity. On an ongoing roadmap this role is most often assigned alongside a QA Engineer or a Test Automation Engineer. All 4 roles in this service line can sit on the same agreement, and capacity moves between them at the monthly cycle rather than requiring a new contract. It is one of the assignments that make up outsource QA testing at Azendo.
Questions about assigning a Performance Test Engineer.
When should we run performance testing?
Before a launch, before a migration, and as a baseline in CI afterwards so regressions surface early rather than in production.
What if we do not know our expected traffic?
We model it from your analytics and agree a target together. Testing against a number nobody believes is wasted effort.

Tell us the scope and the stack. We come back with the profile, the capacity and what the first month looks like, or you can talk to a service delivery manager first.
