Performance Tester L3

About the role

The Performance Test Engineer ensures systems meet performance benchmarks through the design and execution of performance, load, and stress tests. The role involves identifying bottlenecks, analyzing system behavior under varying workloads, and collaborating with Solution Architects, Technical Leads, and test administration teams to align with nonfunctional requirements, standards, and governance.

Key responsibilities

• Develop the Performance Test Plan and ensure it is reviewed and approved by all relevant stakeholders.
• Design, develop, and execute performance, load, and stress tests to assess system behavior under various conditions.
• Perform workload modeling based on nonfunctional requirements, with consideration to the system's architecture blueprint and performance objectives.
• Analyze performance test results to identify bottlenecks and provide actionable recommendations for system optimization.
• Collaborate with development, infrastructure, and QA teams to ensure performance requirements are met and that the test environment is properly configured, including integration with all relevant Systems of Record (SORs).
• Maintain performance test scripts, test data, and related documentation to support ongoing performance validation efforts.
• Generate and communicate regular reports on system scalability, reliability, and responsiveness.
• Document the Performance Test Results and secure sign-off from all designated stakeholders.
