Key Responsibilities

• Lead the performance testing team in designing, developing, and executing test strategies for cloud-native applications.
• Collaborate with architects, developers, and DevOps teams to understand system architecture and business requirements to create realistic performance test scenarios.
• Identify system performance bottlenecks and work closely with engineering teams to drive resolution and optimization.
• Simulate load, stress, and scalability conditions using tools like JMeter, Gatling, or LoadRunner, and provide detailed analysis and insights.
• Build and maintain reusable performance testing scripts and automation frameworks.
• Monitor performance in production environments using tools like Datadog, Dynatrace, Grafana, or Prometheus, and suggest improvements proactively.
• Mentor and support junior team members, promoting best practices and knowledge sharing.
• Stay current with performance testing trends, tools, and technologies—especially those related to cloud-native and containerized systems.
• Deliver comprehensive performance reports and communicate key findings, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Proven experience in performance and load testing, with a strong focus on cloud-native applications.
• Solid understanding of cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, as well as container orchestration tools like Kubernetes.
• Hands-on experience with performance testing tools such as JMeter, Gatling, LoadRunner, or similar.
