Job Summary
Title: Lead Performance Engineer with Orchestration.
Location: Charlotte NC
Inperson interview needed.
Position type: W2 contract
Job Description:
We are seeking experienced Performance Test Engineers to support a large-scale Data Center Migration program involving performance validation of enterprise applications.
The role requires strong expertise in end-to-end performance testing including NFR gathering scripting execution monitoring and advanced bottleneck analysis across modern cloud-native and enterprise platforms. This position requires candidates who can ramp up quickly work independently and bring strong engineering depth to both first-time performance initiatives and performance re-validation scenarios.
Key Responsibilities
Collaborate with stakeholders to gather and define Non-Functional Requirements (NFRs) SLAs and workload models.
Design and implement performance test strategies for migration validation.
Develop and maintain performance test scripts using LoadRunner and JMeter.
Execute performance tests using LoadRunner and/or BlazeMeter.
Design workload distribution models based on business usage patterns.
Conduct performance validation for applications migrating to new data center environments.
Perform deep-dive bottleneck analysis across application middleware infrastructure and database layers.
Work with monitoring and observability tools such as AppDynamics and Splunk for root cause analysis.
Validate scalability reliability and resilience in containerized/OpenShift environments.
Plan and execute Chaos Engineering experiments to validate system stability under failure conditions.
Provide performance tuning recommendations to development and infrastructure teams.
Prepare detailed performance reports and executive summaries.
Support rapid onboarding of applications where performance testing is being conducted for the first time.
