Weave recently acquired Truelark, and we are preparing to onboard a massive wave of new customers onto their platform. Your first mission will be to ensure the Truelark platform can scale flawlessly, directly safeguarding customer experience and revenue during a critical business transition. This is a high-stakes, high-impact challenge that requires immediate, expert-level engagement to define performance baselines, identify bottlenecks, and guarantee reliability under unprecedented load.

You will create the paved-road for performance testing at Weave, developing frameworks, tooling, and reference implementations that empower hundreds of engineers to "move fast without breaking things".

This is a unique opportunity to build
