Kindred is a pioneer in the online gambling industry and as an innovation driven company that builds on trust, we have led the development into areas such as technological advancements, mobile solutions, new product launches, as well as player safety and responsible gambling improvements. At Kindred we build distributed systems that handle millions of transactions every day. Our development teams delivers new features on a daily basis, doing thousands of releases every year.


As a Performance Engineer at the Stockholm office you'll be working with people from various backgrounds who are passionate about what they do. We believe in releasing small and often, building for change and automating as much as possible. At Kindred there will always be exciting new technologies to explore and interesting problems to solve. We like using frameworks and tools like Performance Center, Gatling, Jenkins, AppDynamics and Splunk. Our main focus is on analysis and troubleshooting in order to continuously improve the quality and performance of each release. This is achieved by using an automated framework based on Gatling and Jenkins, therefore the role will require focus on Gatling scripting, test executions and troubleshooting.


Our performance testers are an integral part of the QA Team and work closely with the Development and Operations departments. This makes it possible for us to ensure the quality of our releases and to build a high availability infrastructure. For some development teams the daily work also includes performance testing of web sites and mobile apps. Our teams enjoy solving problems by white-boarding, pair-programming and rubber-ducking. We believe in continuous improvement the way we work and make it easy for everyone to make their voices heard.


We care as much about finding the right people as we do about great technical skills. Our company values are Friendly, Passionate, Expert and they are all equally important to us.
