Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Performance Test Engineer to act as a crucial link between our development and operations teams. In this role, you will be responsible for establishing performance as a continuous process, seamlessly integrating testing into our CI/CD pipelines, and developing robust, scalable automated test scripts.

You will collaborate closely with developers and DevOps architects to pinpoint performance bottlenecks, optimize infrastructure, and ensure our systems deliver exceptional user experiences at scale.

Key Responsibilities include shifting performance testing left by integrating it into CI/CD pipelines, writing clean and reusable automated test scripts using modern frameworks, and collaborating with the DevOps team on infrastructure provisioning and monitoring dashboards.

You will also analyze system health through deep monitoring tools, diagnose performance issues across various components, and work with engineers to tune code, databases, and infrastructure to meet stringent performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Shift-Left Performance Testing: Integrate performance and load testing directly into the CI/CD pipeline (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI, ArgoCD, etc.) to catch bottlenecks early in the development lifecycle.
Automated Scripting: Write clean, maintainable, and reusable automated performance test scripts using tools like [e.g., JMeter, k6, etc.].
Infrastructure & Monitoring: Collaborate with the DevOps team to maintain Grafana dashboard with perf tests results, to provision test environments as code, and configure deep monitoring/APM tools to analyze system health
Bottleneck Analysis: Execute load, stress, endurance, and spike tests, then dive deep into metrics to diagnose CPU, memory, database, and network constraints.
Performance Tuning: Work alongside software engineers to refactor code, optimize database queries, and tune infrastructure (e.g., Kubernetes, Oracle, APIs, UIs, Mobile, etc.) to meet strict SLA/SLO requirements.
Test Data Management: Develop automated strategies for generating, masking, and managing large volumes of realistic test data.

Qualifications

Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience in performance testing and engineering.
Automation Skills: Proficiency in writing automated test scripts from scratch using object-oriented programming languages such as Java, Python, or Go.
DevOps Mindset: Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines, containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
Tooling Expertise: Deep familiarity with modern performance testing frameworks (e.g., JMeter, k6, Gatling, Locust) and APM solutions (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, New Relic).
Analytical Skills: Ability to analyze complex system architectures, interpret server metrics, and translate data into actionable developer recommendations.
Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to advocate for performance best practices and collaborate seamlessly across cross-functional engineering teams.
