In our multidisciplinary teams, you will work together with the best people in the field: from proposition managers and journey experts to UX/UI designers, data analysts, developers, architects, business analysts and product owners. Together we achieve impact from start to finish: from formulating the right customer question to experimenting, building, launching and continuous improvement. We like pace and action. As a separate department with clear focus and decision-making space, we do not get stuck in reports, but convert insights directly into choices, actions and results. Together, we are building the future of the bank with strong propositions, smart products and digital experiences that really make a difference for young people.
You & your role
As a Performance Test Engineer within the IT4IT squad, you are responsible for defining, measuring and continuously improving application performance across the entire technology stack. You combine performance engineering with hands-on testing to ensure that customer-facing applications meet agreed performance, scalability and reliability standards before and after release. You define and track response-time targets, identify performance improvement opportunities and enable feature teams to enhance customer experience through increased speed, quality and reliability. In addition, you validate new releases through performance testing and provide insights and recommendations that support release readiness and continuous improvement.
Examples of tasks:
•
• Defining and monitoring performance KPIs and targets across applications and customer journeys
• Designing and executing performance, load and stress tests for new and existing applications
• Validating non-functional requirements and performance standards before releases
• Analysing test results and translating findings into actionable improvements for feature teams
• Integrating performance testing into CI/CD pipelines and engineering workflows
• Supporting release readiness assessments and performance validation prior to production deployments
• Building dashboards and tools to make performance data accessible and enable troubleshooting in feature teams
• Collaborating with DevOps engineers, platform teams and leadership to drive performance improvements and improve customer experience
You are part of the IT4IT squad and operate at the intersection of data, engineering, and infrastructure. You work closely with DevOps engineers, platform teams, and leadership to drive performance improvements and user experience.
Together we achieve more than alone
We believe in the power of differences. By combining people's diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and strengths, we become an even better bank. Collaboration is at the heart of how we work. As part of a multicultural team within Rabobank, you collaborate closely, challenge ideas constructively, and deliver real customer value together.
Work on yourself and the world around you at the same time
For us, your development and that of society go hand in hand. That's why we want to invest in you and work together for a better world. We summarise this in one sentence: 'At Rabobank, you work on yourself and the world around you at the same time.' You'll see this reflected in your personal development budget, our hybrid working environment, and a healthy balance between work and home. You can work on banking services for our private and business customers, as well as societal issues such as food and energy transitions.
Why everyone is welcome at Rabobank
At Rabobank, we believe we become stronger through people who complement each other. By embracing our differences, we bring out the best in one another. We seek diversity in areas such as knowledge, skills, and experience, but also in gender, background, and culture.
