Sr. SQE Performance Testing

What You'll Do:

Performance Testing Strategy & Ownership

• Drive the overall performance testing strategy aligned with business and product goals.
• Own the end-to-end performance testing lifecycle, including planning, scripting, execution, monitoring, and reporting.

Test Design & Execution

• Design and implement scalable load, stress, endurance, and spike test scenarios.
• Develop and maintain performance test frameworks and reusable assets.
• Execute tests to validate system scalability, reliability, and stability under load.

Analysis & Reporting

• Analyze performance bottlenecks across application, database, and infrastructure layers.
• Deliver detailed performance reports, dashboards, and analytics with actionable recommendations.

Collaboration & Continuous Integration

• Collaborate with development, DevOps, and architecture teams to resolve performance issues.
• Integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous performance validation.
• Drive performance optimization initiatives and ensure SLAs/SLOs are met.

What It Takes:

Technical

• 5 to 8 years of hands-on experience in Performance Engineering.
• Strong expertise in any of the performance testing tools (code as a test) such as Gatling, K6, Locust, or similar.
• Solid understanding of performance testing methodologies, workload modeling, and capacity planning.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring & observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, Dynatrace, Datadog, AppDynamics, New Relic, or similar).
• Strong exposure to CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, etc.).
• Experience analyzing system metrics (CPU, memory, I/O, network, database performance).
• Proficiency in any scripting/programming language (Java, Python, JavaScript, etc.).
• Exposure to cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerized systems (Docker, Kubernetes).

Leadership & Collaboration

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present performance insights to stakeholders.
• Ability to take ownership and make data-driven decisions in high-pressure scenarios.
• A team player who can challenge constructively and drive quality excellence.

Mindset

• A strong quality mindset with attention to detail and deep curiosity to identify system limits.
• Hands-on, proactive, and continuously learning.

Nice to Have

• Experience in PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or Digital Manufacturing domains.
• Experience in API performance testing and microservices architecture.
• Knowledge of shift-left performance testing and performance engineering practices.
