Senior Performance Test Engineer

Design and implement comprehensive performance test strategies, including load, stress, endurance, and scalability testing, aligned with business objectives. Develop and maintain robust performance test scripts using industry-standard tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling) to simulate realistic user behavior and system load. Analyze complex performance test results, identify bottlenecks across application tiers (frontend, backend, database, network), and provide actionable recommendations for tuning. Collaborate closely with development, operations, and architecture teams to understand system architecture and integrate performance testing early in the SDLC. Desired Candidate Profile ▪ Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software/Systems Engineering, or Information Systems ▪ Tricentis NeoLoad certification (e.g., NeoLoad Certified Professional) is preferred. ▪ ISTQB Foundation plus Advanced Test Analyst/Technical Test Analyst or ISTQB Performance Testing is preferred. Work Experience Minimum: ▪ 7+ years of experience in performance testing of enterprise applications. ▪ 4+ years of hands-on experience in NeoLoad, including scripting, correlation, test execution, and monitoring. ▪ Proven ability to translate user journeys into workload models (load, stress, spike, endurance/soak). ▪ Strong results analysis: turning metrics (response time, throughput, error rate, resource utilization) into clear, prioritized recommendations. ▪ Solid grasp of web & API fundamentals (HTTP/REST, caching, sessions, CDNs), basic networking (latency, bandwidth), and concurrency concepts. ▪ Proficiency with APM/observability tools and system logs to isolate bottlenecks across app, DB, and infrastructure layers. ▪ Working knowledge of database performance basics (query patterns, indexing, connection pools). ▪ Experience integrating performance checks into CI/CD (e.g., Azure DevOps/Jenkins/GitLab) with automated pass/fail gates and trend reporting. ▪ Clear written and verbal communication for both technical and executive audiences.
