Job Description We are looking for an experienced Performance Tester with strong NeoLoad expertise to join our Quality Engineering team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience designing, executing, and analyzing performance tests for complex enterprise applications, especially in financial services. This role requires a Day 0 productivity mindset , the ability to work independently, and a strong commitment to ensuring system scalability, stability, and responsiveness. Responsibilities Design, develop, and maintain performance test scripts primarily using NeoLoad , covering load, stress, scalability, and endurance scenarios. Execute performance test cycles, monitor system behavior, and analyze results to identify bottlenecks, throughput issues, and scalability constraints. Collaborate with development, DevOps, and architecture teams to diagnose root causes and drive performance improvements. Define performance benchmarks, SLAs, and KPIs for applications and microservices. Develop reusable test assets, frameworks, and performance baselines to improve future test cycles. Prepare detailed performance test reports, highlighting findings, risks, and remediation recommendations. Participate in capacity planning exercises and provide insights into expected system behavior under varying loads. Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines where applicable. Stay updated with the latest performance engineering tools, analysis techniques, and best practices. Job-Specific Skills Technical Skills Strong hands-on experience in NeoLoad (mandatory) — scripting, parameterization, correlation, monitoring, custom actions. Experience with other performance tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling , or K6 is a plus. Solid understanding of performance metrics (CPU, memory, I/O, DB latency, thread analysis, service response time, throughput, etc.). Experience with APM tools (Dynatrace, AppDynamics, New Relic, Elastic APM, Grafana). Good knowledge of API performance testing (REST/SOAP). Understanding of microservices, message queues, distributed systems , and their performance considerations. Familiarity with log analysis, profiling tools, and monitoring dashboards (ELK, Prometheus, Grafana). Experience with CI/CD tools like Jenkins, GitLab CI/CD, or GitHub Actions. Knowledge of cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP) and container platforms (Docker, Kubernetes). Ability to document performance test strategies, execution results, tuning recommendations, and RCA reports. Functional Skills Understanding of core financial processes (payments, banking transactions, customer onboarding, treasury, etc.). Experience testing performance of core banking systems, digital banking platforms, payment hubs , or financial APIs is an advantage. Ability to interpret business and technical requirements to define critical performance scenarios. Strong understanding of data flows and transaction lifecycle within enterprise financial applications. Awareness of regulatory and security considerations that may impact application performance. Performance Engineering Practices Strong understanding of load modeling, workload distribution, concurrency estimation , and capacity planning. Experience designing performance test strategies for complex enterprise architectures. Ability to identify performance risks early in the SDLC and propose preventive improvements. Familiarity with resilience, failover, and scalability testing. Soft Skills Strong analytical and problem-solving skills to identify and interpret performance issues. Clear communication skills for presenting findings to technical and non-technical audiences. Proactive mindset — ability to anticipate issues and propose solutions. Strong collaboration with developers, architects, product owners, and infrastructure teams. Ability to work under pressure with tight timelines. Qualifications Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field. 3–6 years of experience in performance testing, with at least 2 years of hands-on NeoLoad experience . Benefits Competitive salary and performance incentives. Opportunities for upskilling, certifications, and career advancement. Supportive team culture focused on learning, innovation, and growth.
