About The Position

We are seeking Software Engineers to develop and implement performance test frameworks to verify application services. This role involves planning, designing, building, and executing performance test scenarios and scripts. You will gather requirements, understand use cases, design performance plans, and analyze the performance of upcoming features, including workload modeling. A key part of this role is integrating performance testing solutions with CI/CD, release engineering, infrastructure, cloud, and development teams. You will also be responsible for reviewing continuous improvements in performance test engineering controls and reviewing test artifacts regularly. Identifying performance bottlenecks using thread dump and heap dump analysis, and uncovering hidden problems and patterns in data to drive improvements in coding hygiene and system architecture are crucial aspects of this position.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field of study plus five (5) years of experience in the job offered or as Software Engineer, Technical Lead, Test Lead, or related occupation.
Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field of study plus three (3) years of experience in the job offered or as Software Engineer, Technical Lead, Test Lead, or related occupation.
Gathering performance requirements and translating them into test plans, parameterized scripts, and measurable success criteria aligned with SLAs.
Designing, scripting, load generator configuration, test scheduling, execution monitoring, and detailed performance analysis using industry-standard tools including JMeter and LoadRunner.
Optimizing enterprise Java applications including selecting and configuring appropriate application server and JVM settings aligned to workload and SLA requirements.
Monitoring and analyzing application and infrastructure performance including configuring alerts, dashboards, and automated reporting using at least one of the following tools: Dynatrace, Datadog, or Grafana.
Deploying and managing containerized applications in cloud-native performance testing environments utilizing Kubernetes and Docker.
Designing and implementing observability solutions using log monitoring tools such as Grafana or Splunk, enabling proactive tracking of logs, metrics, and alerts for rapid detection and resolution of performance issues.
Working with version control tools such as Git.
Utilizing CI/CD tools such as Jenkins to automate build, test, and deployment processes.
Creating and presenting detailed performance test plans and reports, communicating objectives, methodologies, findings, and recommendations to technical teams, project managers, and senior leadership.
