## About the role

As a Senior Backend Engineer, Performance Enablement, you'll make performance testing and analysis easier for engineering teams to adopt and own. You'll build platforms, tooling, guidance, and artificial intelligence-assisted workflows that help teams identify performance risks during development and before they roll changes out to production.

## What they're looking for

- Build and evolve reusable backend platforms and tooling for performance testing and analysis
- Create self-service workflows, documentation, templates, diagnostics, and artificial intelligence skills that reduce the need for bespoke support
- Use development practices that apply artificial intelligence to accelerate implementation, testing, debugging, and technical documentation
- Influence engineering teams to make performance testing part of normal development and release preparation
- Turn early hands-on engagements into generalized capabilities that many teams can adopt independently
- Provide technical expertise for difficult performance questions, tooling enhancements, and new platform capabilities
