Job Description::

We are looking for a high-caliber Senior Performance Test Engineer to lead our performance validation and optimization efforts. This role is designed for a technical expert who thrives in a demanding, high-pressure environment and possesses the self-drive to own the performance lifecycle end-to-end.

You will not just execute scripts; you will analyze complex system architectures (HLDs/LLDs) to predict failure points and work directly with developers to tune applications for maximum efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Test Strategy & Design: Analyze High-Level Designs (HLD) and Low-Level Designs (LLD) to extract non-functional requirements and author comprehensive Performance Test Plans tailored to complex system architectures.
• End-to-End Execution: Lead the design and execution of massive-scale Load, Stress, and API tests using JMeter, ensuring all microservices and endpoints meet rigorous performance benchmarks.

• Data-Driven Reporting: Translate raw output from Splunk and Dynatrace into actionable executive summaries and technical deep-dives that guide the projects release readiness.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• Expertise: 5-7 years of hands-on experience in Performance Engineering.
• Tooling: Mastery of JMeter and expert-level knowledge of API testing (REST/SOAP/Microservices).
• Analysis: Proven experience using Dynatrace (or similar APM) and Splunk to analyze system bottlenecks and resource utilization.
• Architectural Literacy: Strong ability to read technical design documents (HLD/LLD) and translate them into effective test scenarios.
• Communication: Highly collaborative with the ability to influence Developers and Architects through data-backed performance insights.
• Soft Skills: Must be self-driven and capable of managing shifting priorities in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
