Kforce has a client that is seeking a Performance Engineer in Miami, FL.
Summary:
The client is looking for a Senior Performance Engineer to own and elevate API performance testing across a complex, integrated application ecosystem.

Execute tests using industry standard tooling and analyze results to identify:

* Failure points
* Scalability risks
Partner closely with engineering, architecture, and DevOps teams to:
* Drive root cause analysis
* Recommend remediation approaches
* Validate fixes
Leverage existing automation frameworks where applicable (Playwright, TypeScript, Cucumber):
Produce clear, executive ready summaries outlining:
* What was tested
* Why it matters
* What the results mean for performance, stability, and risk
* Recommended next steps
REQUIREMENTS:
* Must have strong communication skills
* Able to create presentations for Non-Technical Executives based on performance testing findings
