Job Requirements and Responsibilities

Job Requirements*

• 5+ years of experience in performance testing / performance engineering for enterprise applications
• Strong hands‑on expertise in OpenText/Micro Focus LoadRunner ecosystem: VuGen, Controller, Analysis and LoadRunner Enterprise (LRE) / LoadRunner Cloud (LRC) exposure preferred
• Deep understanding of performance test types: load, stress, spike, endurance/soak, scalability, failover and selection criteria
• Proven experience in defining/deriving NFRs, SLAs/SLOs, baselines, and capacity targets with stakeholders
• Strong experience in protocol selection and scripting approaches (Web HTTP/HTML, TruClient, SAP, etc. as applicable)
• Advanced experience in correlation (dynamic values, session handling, auth flows), parameterization, and realistic data strategy
• Experience designing and running Controller/LRE scenarios (ramp‑up/steady/ramp‑down), pacing/think time, rendezvous points, and workload realism
• Hands‑on experience with distributed load generation, generator sizing, and test environment readiness
• Strong capability in results analysis: percentiles (P90/P95/P99), throughput, error %, saturation points, and regression trend comparisons
• Strong experience correlating client‑side symptoms with server‑side evidence using monitoring/APM tools (Dynatrace/AppDynamics/Grafana/Prometheus/Azure monitors etc.)
• Experience integrating runs into CI/CD and version control driven asset management; ability to automate execution and reporting
• Ability to isolate bottlenecks across app/DB/infra/network/config/caching/code paths and drive remediation with engineering teams
• Strong communication skills—translate findings into clear risks, recommendations, and executive summaries
• Mentoring junior engineers; enforcing standards, templates, and governance (reviewing scripts, scenarios, reports)

Key Responsibilities*

• Own performance testing strategy and plan aligned to business-critical journeys and NFRs
• Create and maintain LoadRunner assets: VuGen scripts, parameter datasets, scenarios, monitoring configuration
• Build realistic workload models; execute tests across environments (staging/pre-prod) with repeatability
• Run Controller/LRE/LRC executions; manage distributed load generators and environment readiness
• Monitor client + server metrics; analyze results, isolate root causes, and validate remediation effectiveness
• Produce performance reports with actionable insights, risks, and optimization recommendations
• Establish baselines, compare runs across releases, and define acceptance gates for go/no-go decisions
• Collaborate with Dev, DevOps/SRE, DB and Infrastructure teams to drive fixes and prevent regressions
• Coach team members and standardize best practices, reusable accelerators, and reporting templates.
