Company mission
Organisations do not have enough tech talent to make the most of today’s opportunities. Tech is developing so quickly it’s hard to ensure even your existing teams evolve and adopt the skills they need. At the same time, talented people, with the potential to be great tech hires, don’t have the opportunity to learn and develop those skills. Ten10’s mission is to solve those problems.
Role
Who you are
- Strong experience designing and leading performance testing strategies and solutions
- Hands-on understanding of performance engineering, bottleneck analysis, and workload modelling
- Expertise with performance testing tools (such as JMeter, K6, OpenText Performance Engineering (LoadRunner))
- Solid experience across non-functional testing methodologies and processes
- Familiarity with APM tools (such as Dynatrace, Datadog)
- Confident stakeholder and vendor management with excellent communication skills
- Experience working across Agile and Waterfall delivery environments
- Proven ability to mentor, guide, and lead performance testing teams
What the job involves
- As a Performance Test Manager, you’ll play a key role in defining, delivering, and optimising performance and non-functional testing across the full delivery lifecycle
- You will lead and manage performance engineering activities, advise clients on best practice, and work closely with stakeholders to ensure systems meet scalability, resilience, and reliability targets
- Ten10 is the UK’s leading independent Quality Engineering & Software Testing consultancy
- We work with a range of clients across multiple sectors, providing innovative solutions to help them deliver better software, faster
- Our consultants are at the heart of what we do, and we invest in their development to ensure they remain at the forefront of industry trends
- Define performance test strategies, frameworks, and approaches tailored to client needs
- Lead performance test planning, execution, analysis, and reporting activities
- Own the delivery of non-functional testing across performance, reliability, scalability, and capacity areas
- Guide and support performance engineering teams across tooling (such as JMeter, K6, OpenText Performance Engineering (LoadRunner)) and monitoring solutions
- Drive performance environment readiness, data needs, and workload modelling
- Identify opportunities to enhance performance testing processes, frameworks, and delivery practices
- Provide coaching, direction, and support to performance testers and consultants
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Work teams and tech can be a match made in heaven or the victim of endless teething problems. It’s hard to keep your workforce up to date with the latest developments, which is why Ten10 has created its hybrid training and consultancy firm. Working off the understanding that even the most talented hires might not have the time or the space to learn new tech skills, Ten10’s mission is to solve the skills gap faced by enterprises worldwide.
It does this through its twin offerings - Ten10 Academy and Ten10 Consultancy. The Academy offers a talent pool of diverse tech talent who have been trained to meet the needs of a wide range of business clientele. The consultancy service trains up this talent pool but most importantly, offers its clients tailored business analysis, quality engineering and automation solutions. This ecosystem of talent and business empowerment has accelerated the operations of diverse companies, including Hobbycraft and CarbonQuota.
After a Buyout by Graphite Capital in 2020, Ten10 has expanded its operations into the US, where it will continue to cement its tech skills-elevating influence.
