Job summary

Infosys Quality Engineering seeks an experienced performance engineer to design and execute load, stress, and endurance tests for complex enterprise and cloud applications.

You will develop robust LoadRunner scripts, perform in-depth Dynatrace-based analysis, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to define SLAs/SLOs. Cloud performance testing and mentoring junior staff are key aspects of the role.

Qualifications

• Graduation in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or related discipline.
• 8–15 years hands-on performance testing/engineering for web or enterprise apps.
• Strong expertise in LoadRunner scripting, scenarios, execution, and analysis.
• Practical experience with Dynatrace or similar APM tools for monitoring and root-cause analysis.
• Hands-on cloud performance testing for applications on public or private clouds.

Responsibilities

• Design, plan, and execute end-to-end performance test strategies (load, stress, endurance, scalability).
• Develop, parameterize, and maintain LoadRunner scripts and workloads.
• Perform in-depth performance analysis using Dynatrace to identify bottlenecks.
• Collaborate with architects, developers, and operations to define SLAs/SLOs and key KPIs.
• Lead performance engineering activities including capacity planning and performance modeling.
• Conduct cloud performance testing across autoscaling and resilience scenarios.
• Prepare data-driven performance reports and dashboards for stakeholders.
• Mentor junior team members in performance testing techniques and tools.

Infosys Quality Engineering

Responsibilities

• Design, plan, and execute end to end performance test strategies (load, stress, endurance, scalability) for complex enterprise and cloud based applications.
• Develop, parameterize, and maintain robust LoadRunner scripts, scenarios, and workloads aligned with business usage patterns, including advanced correlation, parameterization, think time modeling, error handling, custom logic, and data driven frameworks.
• Perform in depth performance analysis using Dynatrace and other monitoring tools to identify bottlenecks across application, database, network, and infrastructure layers.
• Collaborate with architects, developers, platform, infrastructure, and operations teams to define performance scope, SLAs/SLOs, KPIs, and success criteria, interpret performance results, diagnose root causes, and recommend tuning and optimization strategies.
• Lead performance engineering activities, including capacity planning, sizing, and performance modeling for on premise and cloud environments, with a strong focus on microservices, REST APIs, async workflows, and batch processing.
• Conduct cloud performance testing across major platforms (e.g., autoscaling, elasticity, resilience), validating SLAs and non functional requirements, and evaluating limits/requests, node saturation, and cluster level constraints.
• Prepare clear, data driven performance reports, dashboards, and presentations for technical and business stakeholders, communicating complex technical findings in a concise and business relevant manner.
• Guide project teams on performance best practices throughout the SDLC and support shift left performance testing approaches, including early requirements clarification and performance risk identification.
• Mentor junior team members in performance testing techniques, tools usage, and analysis methods, fostering a self driven, ownership mindset within the team.
• Independently identify performance work items, define approaches, and execute performance engagements end to end, including test plan creation, scenario design, data modeling, and dashboard setup.
• Drive performance analysis and bottleneck identification across the full stack (application, JVM/GC, database, infrastructure, and container platforms) without waiting for direction, providing concrete tuning recommendations.

Technical and Professional Requirements:

• Education: Graduation in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 8-15 years of hands on experience in performance testing and performance engineering for web or enterprise applications.
• Strong expertise in LoadRunner for scripting, scenario design, execution, and analysis.
• Proven experience in end to end Performance Testing (load, stress, endurance, spike) including test planning and execution.
• Solid background in Performance Engineering, including bottleneck identification, tuning recommendations, and capacity considerations.
• Practical experience using Dynatrace (or similar APM tools) for monitoring, tracing, and root cause analysis during performance tests.
• Hands on experience with Cloud Performance Testing for applications hosted on public or private cloud environments.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills to interact with cross functional and client teams.

Preferred Skills:

• Technology->Performance Testing->Performance Testing - ALL->Rational Performance Tester
• Technology->Performance Testing->Load Runner
• Technology->Performance Testing->Jmeter
