So, what’s the role all about?

Senior Performance Engineer

How will you make an impact?

Performance Testing:

• Performance Testing and Analysis

• Design and execute performance benchmarking, load testing, and stress testing strategies.
• Conduct performance tests to evaluate system behaviour under different load conditions (e.g., load testing, stress testing, scalability testing).
• Analyse and interpret performance test results, identify bottlenecks, and recommend solutions.
• Develop performance test plans, test cases, and execution strategies.
• Track performance metrics and trends over time to ensure consistency and stability of systems.

• Performance Benchmarking

• Perform benchmarking activities to understand and measure system performance against industry standards and best practices.

• Application Monitoring

• Continuously monitor the performance of applications in cloud-based pre-production environments.
• Utilize application performance management (APM) tools (e.g., Jprofiler, Open-source tools, etc.) to detect and troubleshoot performance issues.
• Implement observability solutions, leveraging tools like Prometheus, Grafana, New Relic, Dynatrace, or Datadog for real-time performance monitoring.

• Troubleshooting and Issue Resolution

• Investigate and resolve performance-related issues across multiple platforms (web, backend services).
• Work with teams to implement effective root cause analysis for performance failures.
• Identify, diagnose, and optimize performance bottlenecks across the entire technology stack (application, database, infrastructure, and cloud environments)

• Automation and Scripting

• Develop automated scripts and frameworks for creating complex financial data, load, and performance testing.
• Leverage automation tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling) to run performance tests and gather metrics.
• Develop and maintain performance test suites using industry-standard tools (JMeter, Gatling, LoadRunner, etc.).

• Reporting and Documentation

• Create detailed reports with analysis, recommendations, and action plans for performance improvements.
• Maintain thorough documentation of performance tests, results, and optimization strategies.

Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.

  database performance tuning

  (SQL query optimization, indexing, partitioning, caching, replication strategies).
• Experience with

  cloud-based performance optimization

  (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and

  containerized environments

  (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Experience with intelligent performance monitoring solutions
• Knowledge of

  event-driven architectures

  ,

  Kafka

  , or

  messaging systems
