• Design, script and execute load, stress, and scalability testing and deliver comprehensive reports to the project team.
• Collaborate on performance related test cases to execute and provide necessary data to peers for bug entry.

• A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free. The space should have strong wireless connection or a wired Ethernet connection (wired connection is preferred, if possible).
