Job Description :

- Designing comprehensive performance testing strategies, leading initiatives, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure system reliability, scalability, and responsiveness across applications.

- Conduct thorough performance assessments, including load testing, stress testing, and capacity planning, to identify system bottlenecks and areas for improvement.

- Work closely with development and operations teams to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) and establishing benchmarks, monitoring solutions, and dashboards that provide real-time insights into system performance.

- Work with Performance Architect and implement scalable testing frameworks for performance, and data validation, focusing on AI and Generative AI applications.

- Lead the troubleshooting and resolution of complex performance-related issues in QA, Staging, Pre-production and/or Production environments.

- Provide guidance and mentorship to junior QA engineers, fostering a culture of quality and continuous learning.

- Utilize industry-standard performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling) to simulate real-world scenarios and measure system performance, staying current with emerging tools and technologies in the performance testing space.

- Collaborate with development, QA, and operations teams to integrate performance testing into the continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) processes, providing guidance and support to team members on performance testing best practices.

- Analyze the CPU Utilization, Memory usage, Network usage, Garbage Collection to verify the performance of the applications.

- Generate performance graphs, session reports, and other related documentation required for validation and analysis.

- Create comprehensive performance test documentation, including test plans, test scripts, and performance analysis reports, effectively communicating performance testing results and recommendations to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Duties & Responsibilities :

- Bachelors or Masters degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.

- 12+ years of experience in performance testing and engineering, with a strong understanding of performance testing methodologies and tools.
