Job Summary :

We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Performance Engineer/Tester with experience in Oil & Gas Drilling applications to join our engineering team. This role focuses on ensuring the performance, scalability, and reliability of critical real-time and data-intensive software systems used in drilling operations.

You will work closely with developers, domain experts, and product managers to simulate real-world usage, design performance test strategies, identify bottlenecks, and help optimize application performance under various load conditions.

Key Responsibilities :

- Develop, execute, and maintain performance test plans, scripts, and scenarios for drilling applications.

- Analyze system behavior under stress, load, and endurance conditions to identify performance bottlenecks and work with development teams for resolution.

- Use tools such as LoadRunner, JMeter, or custom scripts to simulate operational environments typical in drilling operations.

- Collaborate with software architects, developers, and DevOps to optimize throughput, latency, and resource utilization.

- Monitor key performance indicators (CPU, memory, I/O, network) during test executions using tools like New Relic and correlate results with backend logs and telemetry data.

- Create performance benchmark baselines and contribute to SLAs definition for system responsiveness and throughput.

- Support CI/CD pipelines by integrating performance testing into automated workflows (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps).

- Participate in code and architecture reviews to assess and improve system scalability and resiliency.

- Generate detailed test reports and provide actionable recommendations to stakeholders.

Required Qualifications :

- Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field.

- 3+ years of experience in performance engineering or testing in enterprise or industrial software.

- Familiarity with oil and gas drilling workflows, real-time data protocols.

- Proficient in scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) for test automation.

- Experience with monitoring tools like New Relic, Dynatrace.

- Solid understanding of network latency, threading/concurrency, memory profiling, and database performance (SQL/NoSQL).

- Strong problem-solving skills and ability to interpret performance metrics into actionable insights.

Preferred Qualifications :

- Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or private data centers supporting oilfield operations.

- ISTQB or other performance testing certifications.

Soft Skills :

- Strong communication and documentation skills.

- Ability to work independently and in a fast-paced, agile team environment.

- Comfortable interacting with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
