Performance Testing

We are seeking a seasoned Performance Test Engineer with 7–8 years of hands-on experience in designing and executing performance tests for enterprise applications. The ideal candidate should have deep knowledge of performance testing tools like JMeter, LoadRunner, or Gatling, and a strong background in performance engineering, bottleneck analysis, and system tuning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and execute performance, load, and stress test scripts.
• Analyze test results and identify performance bottlenecks across application layers.
• Define test strategies and performance metrics based on business and technical requirements.
• Create and maintain performance test plans, scenarios, and workload models.
• Collaborate with development, DevOps, and architecture teams to recommend performance improvements.
• Perform capacity planning and forecast scalability issues.
• Work with monitoring tools (e.g., Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Grafana, Datadog) to analyze server and application performance.
• Create detailed reports and dashboards to communicate performance findings to stakeholders.
• Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines.
• Mentor junior team members on performance testing best practices.

Required Skills:

• 7–8 years of experience in performance testing and engineering.
• Proficient in tools like Apache JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling, or Neoload.
• Strong understanding of application architecture, network protocols, and server resource utilization.
• Good programming/scripting skills in Java, Python, Shell, or Groovy.
• Experience in API performance testing (REST, SOAP).
• Solid knowledge of SQL and working with large datasets.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring/observability tools (e.g., New Relic, Datadog, Dynatrace).
• Familiar with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Understanding of CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab, Azure DevOps).

Good to Have:

• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized app performance testing.
• Knowledge of service virtualization for dependent systems.
• ISTQB or performance testing tool certifications.

Education:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.
