Overview

We are looking for a highly technical Performance Test Engineer to bridge the gap between development and operations.

In this role, you will champion performance as a continuous process, embedding testing seamlessly into our CI/CD pipelines and writing robust, scalable automated test scripts.

You will work closely with developers and DevOps architects to identify bottlenecks, optimize infrastructure, and ensure our systems deliver blazing-fast experiences at scale.

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 & Requirements

  • 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.
