A productized engineering service that finds performance bottlenecks and reliability risks before releases, migrations, or high-traffic events.

Engineering teams are hiring for performance testing, observability, stability analysis, resilience testing, and bottleneck remediation, especially around correctness-critical and production workflows. Many teams know they need this capability but do not have dedicated performance QA? or reliability engineers available for every launch, migration, or scaling event. The pain is concrete: design tests, execute load and failover scenarios, collect metrics, interpret failures, and turn results into release decisions.
Offer a fixed-scope Reliability Test Sprint that audits one critical workflow, builds load and stability test scripts, runs controlled tests, analyzes observability data, and delivers a remediation report with prioritized fixes. The first version is a managed engineering service using existing tools rather than a standalone SaaS? product. Over time, recurring test templates, benchmark reports, and workflow-specific playbooks can become a repeatable productized service or lightweight software layer.
Companies are shipping more complex production systems with higher expectations for uptime, observability, CI/CD maturity, and agent-assisted engineering workflows. The job signals show teams actively seeking performance and reliability capabilities across QA?, infrastructure, and product engineering rather than treating them as optional.

Diagnose and resolve defects and performance bottlenecks in a large-scale production system, using telemetry and real customer signals. Raise the engineering bar across the team - testing strategy, code health, reliability, and review quality.
We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer to join our Production Platform Organization. You will build the infrastructure necessary to collect, store, and make reliability data easily accessible for monitoring needs. You’ll need to communicate effectively and proactively with engineers across the company to deeply understand the behaviors of our systems and refine their reliability objectives. You will also work closely with Product Managers and Product Site Reliability Engineers on quality of service measurements for enterprise customers.
You will keep the platform healthy, resilient, and performant by monitoring performance, improving observability, and investigating production issues before they affect users. Your work will strengthen the underlying platform supporting engineering teams across Xero, directly shaping a fast, reliable experience for millions of global customers.
