Job Description

Performance Quality Engineer

LawPay

• Design and create performance test suites for multiple product teams against a microservices-based SaaS platform running on AWS. • Operate and help maintain production-like environments for performance analysis, diagnosis, and regression testing. • Analyze application and infrastructure logs to identify, isolate, and help root-cause performance degradations. • Define, track, and report on performance KPIs (response times, throughput, error rates, resource utilization) and deliver trend analysis and projections to engineering leadership and product stakeholders. • Use usage and trend data to identify capacity risks and provide recommendations before they impact customers. • Collaborate with Platform Engineering, DevX, SDET, and Product teams to prioritize and validate performance improvements. • Partner with Security QE on the overlap between performance and security risk. Load and stress tests reveal how systems degrade under pressure, which is exactly what attackers exploit via DoS and resource-exhaustion vectors. This role will collaborate with Security QE to integrate security-informed scenarios (authentication storms, TLS renegotiation abuse, API rate-limit validation) into performance test plans, and surface high-resource-cost endpoints to security for assessment. • Identify and define nonfunctional performance tests for CI/CD pipeline gates (Integration, Regression, Post-Deployment). Work with DevX and Platform Engineering to establish pass/fail thresholds that catch regressions before production. • Contribute to performance engineering standards, runbooks, and best practices within the QE organization.

Job Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on performance testing and analysis on microservices-based, cloud-hosted (AWS) SaaS platforms.
  • Strong analytical skills with a demonstrated ability to move from symptoms to root cause.
  • Background in statistical analysis: trend modeling, interpolation, extrapolation, and capacity forecasting.
  • Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, ECS/EKS), Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with performance testing tools (k6, Gatling, Locust, JMeter, or equivalent).
  • Experience with observability platforms (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog) and log aggregation (ELK Stack, CloudWatch).
  • Scripting proficiency in Python or comparable language for test scenarios, data analysis, and light tooling. Coding experience is a plus, but this role prioritizes performance engineering skill over software development depth.
  • Comfortable working asynchronously across multiple time zones in a remote-first team.
  • Demonstrated experience leveraging AI tools and technologies to improve workflows, enhance decision-making, or drive innovation.

Benefits

  • Health Insurance Coverage: We offer our 8Team a variety of medical, dental, and vision plans, designed to fit your needs, including a 100% company-paid HDHP plan for employees.
  • Financial perks: We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package including annual bonuses, equity options and 401(k) or RRSP if in Canada, with a company match for all team members.
  • Time for what matters: Flexible Time Off, paid holidays, and a parental leave program for our new parents.
  • Wellness: Wellness stipends, mental health support, and one-on-one nutrition coaching.
  • Learning and Development: Continuous learning through 8am.edu, leadership programs, professional development funds, and individually focused talent development.
  • Giving back to the communities around us: Participate in our charitable matching gift program, paid time off for volunteer service, and company-sponsored volunteer events (both local and virtually).
  • Engagement: Virtual and in-person team-building events, quarterly award recognition through our Rise & Shine Award of Excellence Program, and our peer-to-peer appreciation platform.

Role Description Civitas Learning is seeking a Quality Assurance Automation Analyst to join a talented, mission-driven team building powerful tools that greatly increase student success. Our QA team is collaborative, encouraged to bring new ideas, and pragmatic about tooling — we use the right tool for the job. We are problem solvers who want teammates passionate about our mission and eager to be part of a rapidly expanding, high-performance team. This is not a traditional manual-only QA role. We run an AI-agent-orchestrated QA lifecycle: - Test specs are drafted from Jira tickets and PR diffs. - Test cases and Playwright automation are generated with AI assistants. - Tests execute through browser automation with agentic failure triage. - Results flow back to Jira and our test-management system automatically. You will not just write and run tests — you will curate, review, and improve the AI-assisted pipeline that produces them. What you'll do as a Quality Assurance Automation Analyst: - Design detailed, comprehensive, well-structured test scenarios and test cases; analyze manual scenarios for automation candidacy. - Build and maintain Playwright end-to-end automation, using AI assistants to accelerate test-script generation and applying self-healing locator strategies. - Review, validate, and correct AI-generated test artifacts (specs, cases, automation) for correctness and coverage — treat AI output as a draft to verify, not a finished result. - Manage test cases and cycles in a test-management system and keep automation status reconciled. - Debug, reproduce, and log bugs using QA tooling; triage automation failures (confirmed bug vs. flaky vs. environment). - Write SQL to validate back-end data and support data-model QA (day-to-day querying; deeper SQL is a growth path here). - Perform regression testing with awareness of cross-module system impact; estimate, prioritize, plan, and coordinate testing activities. - Test current products, identify deficiencies, and proactively suggest solutions and process improvements that shorten test cycles. - Collaborate closely with software engineering, following best practices with a focus on improving test coverage; contribute clear status reports on automation progress, issues, and risks. Qualifications - College degree or equivalent. - 3–5 years of experience in software QA methodologies, tools, and processes. - Strong knowledge of software QA best practices. - Experience in an Agile/Scrum development process. - Hands-on Playwright (or equivalent modern automation framework, e.g. Selenium/Cypress) with a clear willingness to work primarily in Playwright. - Fluency with AI coding/testing assistants (e.g. GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude) for test generation and debugging — and the judgment to verify their output. - Working (intermediate) SQL and comfort querying relational databases (PostgreSQL) — you'll write queries regularly; advanced SQL is a plus, not a screen-out. - Intermediate English level. - Strong interpersonal and communication skills; a genuine team player. Requirements - Experience with test-management tools (e.g. AIO, Zephyr, or TestRail). - Accessibility testing experience — accessibility standards (WCAG), including screen-reader and keyboard testing. - Experience using LLMs for synthetic test-data generation. - Exposure to CI/CD test pipelines (GitHub Actions/workflows, JUnit reporting) and Jira automation. - Performance and/or security testing experience. Benefits - Remote - LATAM - $35,000 — $38,000 USD Company Description At Civitas Learning, we seek to help colleges and universities apply their vast student data to maximize institutional impact and improve the student outcomes that matter most. Civitas Learning’s flexible, all-in-one Student Impact Platform creates actionable insights that surface in a connected workflow, enabling higher education institutions to pinpoint students at risk of missing important milestones, explain why, take action, and evaluate which policies and programs are making a difference. With adaptable analytics based on models built for each institution and higher education expertise, we empower leaders and teams to turn insights into action to support students in reaching their full potential. Civitas Learning is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, protected veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law. #LI-Remote
