Performance Test Engineer

Rate: Depending on experience

USC GC and EAD only

Primary Job Responsibilities:

1.Design and lead comprehensive performance testing strategies to validate system behavior under load stress and peak conditions. Align these strategies with business requirements and project goals

2.Create configure and execute complex test scripts in JMeter to simulate realworld usage scenarios and workload patterns. Optimize and troubleshoot scripts to achieve accurate and reliable performance assessments.

3.Utilize Dynatrace for continuous performance monitoring tracking key application metrics (response time throughput resource utilization) and diagnosing issues in realtime to support proactive performance management.

4.Integrate performance testing and monitoring tools within CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins ensuring that performance issues are identified and addressed early in the development lifecycle.

5.Perform indepth capacity planning analysis determining optimal infrastructure requirements to handle projected workloads and recommending strategies for scaling applications in Kubernetes environments.

6.Use Bitbucket for version control of test scripts configurations and related documentation fostering effective collaboration and change tracking within performance engineering teams.

7.Collaborate with development DevOps and operations teams to troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and recommend tuning or architectural changes to improve application performance and scalability.

8.Deploy monitor and troubleshoot applications running in Kubernetes clusters ensuring efficient use of resources autoscaling configurations and resilience under load.

9.Generate detailed performance reports and dashboards that present test results analysis and insights for various stakeholders including senior management and engineering teams.

10.Conduct root cause analysis for complex performance issues using Dynatrace and other diagnostics tools to trace issues to specific components services or resource configurations.

11.Initiate proactive approach to advocate for performance engineering best practices contributing to a culture of continuous improvement in performance testing and monitoring processes.

12.Document test strategies configurations tuning recommendations and lessons learned ensuring continuity and knowledge sharing within the team. These responsibilities ensure a strong focus on performance optimization scalability and reliability in modern cloudnative environments making use of advanced testing monitoring and automation capabilities.

13.Actively participate in PI planning sessions to align performance goals and establish testing strategies and set realistic performance targets. Ensure all the dependencies are identified documented and addressed.

Minimum Qualifications:
