Job Summary:

Performance Test Engineer

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and execute

  performance, load, and stress tests

  for applications built on

  serverless

  (e.g., AWS Lambda) and

  server-based

  (e.g., Node.js, Java) architectures.
• Plan and conduct

  mobile performance testing

  across different devices and network conditions to simulate real-world usage.
• Collaborate with development, DevOps, and mobile teams to define test scenarios based on

  real-world workloads

  ,

  SLAs

  , and

  user behaviour patterns

  .
• Analyses test results to identify system bottlenecks, CPU/memory utilization issues, and latency problems across both

  web and mobile platforms

  .
• Monitor and benchmark API performance, infrastructure scalability, third-party system integrations, and mobile responsiveness.
• Use cloud-native tools and third-party solutions (e.g., AWS X-Ray, CloudWatch,

  k6

  ,

  JMeter

  ,

  Gatling

  ,

  Artillery

  ) to simulate and monitor traffic.
• Automate performance tests and integrate them into

  CI/CD pipelines

  .
• Generate detailed test reports with actionable insights and optimization recommendations for both web and mobile systems.
• Continuously refine performance testing strategies for

  scalability, cost-efficiency

  ,

  mobile performance

  , and

  test coverage

  .

Required Skills & Experience:

• 2+ years of hands-on experience in

  performance and load testing

  .
• Practical experience with tools such as

  k6

  ,

  Apache JMeter

  ,

  Artillery

  ,

  Gatling

  , or similar.
• Solid understanding of

  server less services

  (AWS Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway) and

  server-based systems

  (e.g., EC2, containerized APIs).
• Experience monitoring performance using tools like

  CloudWatch

  ,

  X-Ray

  , or equivalent.
• Familiarity with distributed tracing tools such as

  Open Telemetry

  ,

  Jaeger

  , or

  AWS X-Ray

  .
• Proficiency in

  JavaScript/Node.js, Java

  , or

  Python

  for scripting and automation.
• Familiarity with

  CI/CD pipelines

  (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins) and experience embedding performance tests into workflows.
• Experience with

  mobile performance testing

  using tools like

  Charles Proxy

  ,

  Firebase Performance Monitoring

  ,

  Xcode Instruments

  , or

  Android Profiler

  .
• Knowledge of API protocols (REST, WebSocket’s), authentication mechanisms, and latency-related factors.
• Experience in cloud environments, preferably

  AWS

  .
• Strong understanding of

  auto-scaling mechanisms

  in both server less and traditional environments.

Nice to Have:

• Proficiency with

  IaC tools

  like Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, or Serverless Framework.
• Knowledge of

  event-driven architectures

  and message queues like Amazon SQS, Kafka, or RabbitMQ.
• Awareness of

  security and compliance considerations

  in performance testing (e.g., rate limiting, HIPAA, GDPR).
• Basic understanding of

  front-end performance testing

  using Lighthouse, Webpage Test, or Sitespeed.io.
• Experience with

  Real User Monitoring (RUM)

  tools like New Relic Browser, Datadog RUM, or Google Analytics.

• Mobile performance testing

  exposure across platforms (iOS/Android) and networks (3G/4G/5G) including battery usage, cold start time, and memory profiling.

• Test data generation

  using Mockaroo, Faker.js, or custom scripts.
