The Principal System Engineering position at Plano’s Consumer Technology Experience team involves designing and implementing a comprehensive Performance Engineering framework to ensure application performance from the project onset. This senior-level role requires partnering with Development, Operations, and Solution Architect teams to plan, design, and deploy cloud-based test solutions that prevent costly re-engineering through early defect detection. Key responsibilities include automating performance testing in CI/CD pipelines, conducting workload analysis, and executing chaos engineering experiments using tools like Gremlin. The ideal candidate will have expertise in Java, Docker, Kubernetes, and microservices architecture, along with experience in cloud platform management and vendor collaboration for load testing. This role demands a deep understanding of application performance validation and the ability to mentor junior team members while ensuring robust test strategies are in place for all applications.
