Sora, an ADP company, is hiring a Sr Lead Performance Test Engineer.

 

This role is for a motivated team player based in Brazil to work closely with Sora’s product and development teams in the United States, across most US time zones. Strong written and verbal communication skills, availability for virtual meetings, and prompt asynchronous responses are essential to keep everything running smoothly.

Sora/Enhanced Workflows, an HR Workflow automation product, is empowering people-focused teams to create exceptional employee experiences. HR teams should be spending time with people, but unfortunately all facets of People teams are bogged down by managing processes instead of helping people. That’s where Sora/Enhanced Workflows comes in: we’re building a product that streamlines the tedious and repetitive work People teams do every day, from sending emails to assigning onboarding tasks to a new hire’s manager to syncing data across anywhere from 3 to 20 tools in a customer’s HR stack.

As a Sr Lead Performance Test Engineer, you'll be an integral part of the agile and dynamic Sora engineering team. We take a startup mindset—focused, action-oriented, and quick to execute, while always being thoughtful in our approach.

In this pivotal role, you'll collaborate with a diverse group of stakeholders—including Product Managers, Architects, DevOps, and QA Engineers—spanning the US and Brazil. Your primary mission: design, develop, execute, and analyze comprehensive performance tests to ensure our applications meet demanding scalability and reliability standards.

You will champion performance testing as an integral part of our SDLC, driving continuous improvement and ensuring our products deliver exceptional user outcomes.
