Senior Performance Test Engineer

• Design and implement comprehensive performance test strategies, including load, stress, endurance, and scalability testing, aligned with business objectives.
• Develop and maintain robust performance test scripts using industry-standard tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling) to simulate realistic user behavior and system load.
• Analyze complex performance test results, identify bottlenecks across application tiers (frontend, backend, database, network), and provide actionable recommendations for tuning.
• Collaborate closely with development, operations, and architecture teams to understand system architecture and integrate performance testing early in the SDLC.

Desired Candidate Profile
