Performance Test, Senior Engineer

Our subsidiary, Adree, is seeking a highly skilled Senior Performance Test Engineer to lead performance testing initiatives across enterprise applications. This role requires hands-on experience in performance engineering, workload modeling, and test automation to deliver high-performing and scalable solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain the performance test strategy, roadmap, standards, templates, entry/exit criteria, and performance quality gates.
• Analyze business volumes, usage patterns, architecture, service-level objectives, and nonfunctional requirements to create realistic workload models.
• Plan and execute load, stress, endurance/soak, scalability, capacity, spike, and volume tests for web, mobile back ends, APIs, integrations, and digital services.
• Design, develop, review, and maintain performance-test scripts, scenarios, parameterization, correlation, data preparation, and reusable components.
• Define test-environment, monitoring, data, access, and service-virtualization requirements; coordinate readiness with DevOps and infrastructure teams.
• Correlate client, server, database, network, container, and application-monitoring data to identify bottlenecks and isolate root causes.
• Evaluate response time, throughput, concurrency, error rate, resource utilization, capacity, and SLA compliance; translate results into clear technical recommendations.
• Integrate performance tests and thresholds into delivery pipelines and establish repeatable baseline and trend reporting.
• Lead defect triage and performance tuning discussions with developers, architects, DBAs, SRE, infrastructure, network, and security teams.
• Produce test plans, daily/periodic status updates, executive summaries, detailed reports, risks, and release recommendations.
• Estimate effort, plan assignments, review deliverables, mentor team members, and ensure traceability and audit-ready evidence.
• Deliver knowledge-transfer sessions and practical coaching on performance testing and the implemented operating model.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
• 8+ years of software testing experience, including at least 4 years of hands-on performance testing/engineering and prior technical or team leadership experience.
• Advanced practical experience in performance-test scripting, scenario design, correlation, parameterization, execution control, analysis, and diagnostics.
• Strong understanding of HTTP/HTTPS, REST/SOAP APIs, web services, authentication, distributed systems, databases, networks, and common performance bottlenecks.
• Proven ability to derive workload models from production or forecast data and define measurable non-functional acceptance criteria.
• Experience integrating performance tests with continuous-delivery pipelines and source control.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, stakeholder-management, documentation, and presentation skills.
• Professional English communication; Arabic is an advantage.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with enterprise test management, service virtualization, container-platform monitoring, observability, and enterprise API gateways.
• Experience with mobile back-end performance, cloud/container platforms, resilience/failure testing, and performance-capacity planning.
• Relevant certifications in performance testing, software testing, Agile, or DevOps.
• Experience in government, regulated, or large-scale digital-service environments.
