Job description

This is a remote position.
Join one of the Philippines' fastest-growing tech companies! Open to Philippine-based candidates only.
About Us
Full Scale is a fully remote-first company that helps businesses build dedicated teams of skilled software engineers. We make it easier for growing companies to find, onboard, and retain high-performing software talent.
The Role
As a QA Engineer, you will help ensure our client's applications remain fast, stable, and reliable under real-world demand. This is a hands-on, hybrid QA role where you will create and execute load and performance tests across web, mobile, and API applications, analyze results, and work with development and infrastructure teams to identify performance bottlenecks.
Load testing is an important part of this role, but it will not be your only responsibility. Testing activities run in cycles, with some weeks requiring load testing once or twice and major events potentially requiring continuous testing for around three weeks. When load testing is paused, including during periods when NeoLoad credits are unavailable, you will support the team with manual testing and some automation testing.
We're looking for someone with practical load-testing knowledge who is flexible, analytical, and comfortable handling other QA responsibilities between performance testing cycles.
Key Responsibilities
  • Performance Test Scripting: Create, maintain, and execute performance test scripts for web, mobile, and API applications using NeoLoad, JMeter, or similar tools.
  • Test Execution: Plan and run load, stress, and performance tests, monitoring application behavior during execution.
  • Results Analysis: Analyze response times, throughput, and error rates to identify performance bottlenecks and potential causes.
  • Monitoring and Observability: Use monitoring tools such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Azure Monitor, Grafana, or Splunk to help investigate application and infrastructure performance.
  • Reporting and Communication: Prepare clear test reports, document findings, and communicate results to the team.
  • Cross-Team Troubleshooting: Work with development and infrastructure teams to investigate performance issues and support troubleshooting.
  • Manual Testing: Execute manual test cases across web and mobile applications when load testing is not active.
  • Automation Testing: Assist with automation testing as needed between performance testing cycles.
  • Flexible QA Support: Adapt to changing testing priorities and support other QA activities during periods when load testing is paused.

Requirements

  • Ideally, 1–3 years of hands-on experience in load and performance testing. Candidates with 5–6+ years of experience are also welcome.
  • Hands-on experience with NeoLoad is strongly preferred.
  • Solid understanding of load, stress, and performance testing concepts.
  • Experience testing web, mobile, and API applications.
  • Knowledge of REST APIs, HTTP/HTTPS, JSON, and SQL.
  • Ability to execute performance tests, analyze results, and identify performance bottlenecks.
  • Experience with monitoring tools such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Azure Monitor, Grafana, or Splunk.
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and communication skills.
  • Willingness to perform manual and some automation testing when load testing is not active.
  • Comfortable working in a hybrid QA role where load testing is not a full-time, daily responsibility.
  • Scripting experience in JavaScript, Python, or Groovy is a plus.

Benefits

  • 100% remote work setup
  • Work from anywhere in the Philippines
  • Hands-on exposure to enterprise-scale applications and performance testing tools
  • Opportunity to work with NeoLoad, JMeter, and other performance monitoring tools
  • Collaboration with development and infrastructure teams
  • Opportunity to broaden QA skills through performance, manual, and automation testing

Prepare your application

Use the description above to assess your fit for Full Scale. This checklist is guidance from Resumize, rather than additional requirements from the employer. Imported listings can be shortened or change after collection, so confirm the complete description and current availability before sending an application.

Match requirements to evidence

Identify the responsibilities and skills the employer explicitly names. For each important requirement, choose one example from your work, education, training, or projects. Explain what you did, how you did it, and what changed as a result. Include a measurable outcome when you can support it. If you lack a requirement, describe related experience accurately instead of adding an unfamiliar skill to your resume.

Put the most relevant examples near the top of your resume. Keep job titles, dates, qualifications, and contact details consistent across your application materials. Use the employer’s terminology when it describes your experience accurately; a copied list of keywords does not explain your contribution. A short, specific bullet is easier to review than a paragraph that mixes several unrelated duties.

Check the working arrangement

Confirm the location, schedule, employment type, and any eligibility requirements on the employer’s site. A remote label does not establish worldwide eligibility or flexible hours. If compensation, benefits, equipment, travel, or contract duration are missing from this listing, write down your questions for the recruiter. Do not assume details from another opening at the same company apply to this role.

Review before submitting

Follow the employer’s requested file format and application instructions. Open your exported resume and check that its text is selectable, its sections read in order, and its links work. Proofread names, dates, and contact information. Share confidential work samples only when you have permission, and use an anonymized example when necessary.

Submit through a trusted employer or recruiting destination. If the original listing has disappeared, search the employer’s careers page for the title rather than assuming the vacancy remains open. Save the application date, job reference, and the version of your resume you sent. Those details help you prepare for a later conversation and avoid submitting conflicting information through several job boards.

Review your resume for writing and readability feedback, or browse other openings if this opportunity is unavailable.
