Love being hands on and eager to demonstrate a clear path of services adoption to your partners with demos, presentations, and prototypes?
Do you know how to create performance dashboard comparing and contrasting end-user performance needs to test results, and highlight performance/capacity blockers?
Do you have a motivation to drive Performance Test automation and self-service culture as a part of software delivery practices?
Can you scale your communication to articulate application performance metrics and issues starting from engineers to program managers to product managers?
Role
