- Lead and grow a team of QA and R&D engineers covering both performance development and performance testing
- Set the technical direction for performance testing methodology, standards, and best practices across the lab, spanning both hardware and software projects
- Leverage our existing AI infrastructure to make the lab more efficient — faster test cycles, faster analysis, faster answers, and ultimately faster, more optimized products
- Go beyond identifying regressions: analyze results and actively propose performance optimizations to development teams
- Increase visibility into performance results across R&D and product leadership, with clear, accessible reporting and dashboards
- Own the performance strategy for our product lines, from planning and development through execution and reporting
- Push traffic generator platforms to their limits to simulate real-world network and application traffic at scale
- Partner with R&D, product management, and architecture teams to define what "great performance" means for our customers
- Chase down performance bottlenecks at the system, kernel, and network level, and work directly with engineering to fix them
- Build and maintain lab infrastructure, tooling, and automation to keep the lab sharp and scalable
- A genuine passion for performance engineering and AI
- At least 3 years of proven experience leading a team of engineers, ideally spanning both QA and R&D
- Strong hands-on skills in C/C++, Linux, and networking — this is a must
- Proven hands-on experience with AI/ML tools — and the drive to push what's already in place further, not just maintain it
- Deep understanding of performance testing methodologies and industry testing standards
- Working knowledge of major traffic generator platforms (e.g., Spirent, Ixia/Keysight, or similar)
- Deep understanding of firewall or gateway architecture, packet processing, and network protocols (TCP/IP, routing, VPN, etc.)
- Experience turning performance data into actionable optimization recommendations for development teams
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to make performance results visible and understood across the organization
