Job Description::

We are looking for a high-caliber Senior Performance Test Engineer to lead our performance validation and optimization efforts. This role is designed for a technical expert who thrives in a demanding, high-pressure environment and possesses the self-drive to own the performance lifecycle end-to-end.

You will not just execute scripts; you will analyze complex system architectures (HLDs/LLDs) to predict failure points and work directly with developers to tune applications for maximum efficiency.

Key Responsibilities
Test Strategy & Design: Analyze High-Level Designs (HLD) and Low-Level Designs (LLD) to extract non-functional requirements and author comprehensive Performance Test Plans tailored to complex system architectures.

End-to-End Execution: Lead the design and execution of massive-scale Load, Stress, and API tests using JMeter, ensuring all microservices and endpoints meet rigorous performance benchmarks.

Advanced Diagnostics: Utilize Dynatrace for deep-tier APM analysis and Splunk for log correlation to pinpoint the root cause of latency, memory leaks, or thread contention.

Performance Tuning & Advocacy: Partner closely with the Development team to share detailed performance reports. You are expected to move beyond "finding bugs" to identifying tuning opportunities in code, database queries, and system configurations.

Data-Driven Reporting: Translate raw output from Splunk and Dynatrace into actionable executive summaries and technical deep-dives that guide the projects release readiness.

Required Skills & Qualifications
Expertise: 5–7 years of hands-on experience in Performance Engineering.

Tooling: Mastery of JMeter and expert-level knowledge of API testing (REST/SOAP/Microservices).

Analysis: Proven experience using Dynatrace (or similar APM) and Splunk to analyze system bottlenecks and resource utilization.

Architectural Literacy: Strong ability to read technical design documents (HLD/LLD) and translate them into effective test scenarios.

Communication: Highly collaborative with the ability to influence Developers and Architects through data-backed performance insights.

Soft Skills: Must be self-driven and capable of managing shifting priorities in a fast-paced, demanding environment.
