About k6

The Grafana Labs k6 team is looking for a senior Go developer to join. At k6, we build next-generation performance testing tools for developers and DevOps engineers.

We are pushing the state-of-the-art in our industry, creating open-source tools with great developer experience and enabling engineers to build reliable systems. k6 is an open-source tool that we built to reinvent the engineering principles around performance testing and enable engineers to build systems that scale.

About the role

You will join the k6 team responsible for developing and maintaining the k6 Browser API. This extension is a significant component of our product, allowing the k6 tool to perform load and performance testing and end-to-end and functional frontend testing through browser automation.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Take the role of the OSS maintainer of the xk6-browser open-source repository.
• Outside of the development responsibilities, the OSS maintainer helps triage external pull requests, interacts with the community, helps with product prioritization, and has a tangible impact on the product roadmap.

You will directly influence the project roadmap and will work with a high degree of autonomy, building and maintaining the tool.

You will also be involved with the k6 Cloud integration, a SaaS service built on top of k6. Specifically, the parts of the cloud service written in Go that orchestrate a distributed k6 test across 17 data centers around the world.
