Job Description:
We are looking for a junior performance test engineer with an interest in improving the performance quality of our solutions at all levels within the Citrix stack. We’re redefining and improving how millions of end users work, and enabling those users to be more productive, every day, wherever they work from and on whatever device.
About the Job
Our newly formed Solutions Performance team is responsible for ensuring the very latest Citrix technology platform is highly responsive, performant, and scalable.

- Recommending and making use of both web and mobile performance test tooling to ensure our products are meeting their business requirements.
- Gathering, publishing and governing performance and scale benchmarking data across the entire Citrix solution stack
- Partnering with product development teams around performance and scalability in order to help define best practice along with promoting industry best practice around performance testing across the organisation
- Opportunity to work with some of the latest cloud technologies such as Azure, Kubernetes, Docker, Spinnaker etc. – and the opportunity to define which brand new technologies we use.
What we're looking for:
- An interest and maybe some prior experience of testing software systems at scale, and tracking/maintaining performance within the system.
- University Degree, or relevant industry experience – we don’t mind either.
- Exposure to Microservice Based Architectures, and experience of web/cloud/SaaS platform development.
- Experience of performance and scale testing in a web and/or cloud level environment would be useful.
- Experience of related tooling for performance and scale/load testing.
- Exposure to CI/CD deployments, and associated infrastructure/toolsets: Jenkins, Artifactory, Kubernetes, Docker, Spinnaker etc.
- A genuine passion for the subject matter and a willingness to try new things to solve new problems.
