Senior Performance Quality Engineer

Role Overview: You will 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. You will design comprehensive performance test scripts based on defined NFR, conduct thorough performance test activities, and report the results. Additionally, you will work closely with development and operations teams to identify key performance bottlenecks and troubleshoot issues in QA, Staging, Pre-production, and/or Production environments. Your role will involve collaborating 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. You will analyze the CPU Utilization, Memory usage, Network usage, and Garbage Collection to verify the performance of the applications. Furthermore, you will generate performance graphs, session reports, and other related documentation required for validation and analysis.
