Performance Tester with strong NeoLoad expertise

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
