Senior Software Engineer

Experience : 5-7 Years

About the Role

Role : Performance Tester (JMeter and LoadRunner)

Location : Hyderabad(WFH)

Responsibilities

• Performance Test Strategy:

  Design and implement a comprehensive performance testing strategy to validate system scalability, stability, and responsiveness under load.

• Test Script Development:

  Develop, maintain, and execute sophisticated performance test scripts using JMeter for our REST and WebSocket APIs.

• Scenario Design:

  Create realistic load scenarios to simulate various conditions, including peak traffic, stress, and endurance tests.

• Bottleneck Analysis:

  Analyze performance test results to identify and isolate system bottlenecks across the application, database, and infrastructure layers.

• System-Level Testing:

  Conduct performance tests on individual microservices (written in Golang) as well as the end-to-end system, including message queues (Kafka/Redis) and the database (TimescaleDB).

• Monitoring & Reporting:

  Work with the DevOps team to monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) during tests using tools like Prometheus and Grafana. Produce detailed reports with findings and recommendations.

• CI/CD Integration:

  Integrate performance tests into the CI/CD pipeline to enable early detection of performance regressions.

• Collaboration:

  Work closely with developers and DevOps engineers to troubleshoot and resolve performance issues.

Qualifications

• 5-7 relevant years in performance testing
• Backend Technologies: Familiarity with testing applications built in Golang.
• Experience testing systems that use Kafka/Redis and PostgreSQL/TimescaleDB is highly desirable.
• Monitoring Tools: Hands-on experience with performance monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or similar.
• Cloud Experience: Experience conducting performance tests in a cloud environment, preferably AWS.
• Analytical Skills: Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to analyze complex data and identify root causes of performance issues.

Required Skills

• Primary Tooling:

  Deep expertise with JMeter is mandatory. This includes test plan design, scripting with Groovy/BeanShell, distributed testing, and plugins.

• Performance Testing Concepts:

  Strong understanding of performance testing methodologies, including load, stress, spike, and endurance testing.

• API Testing:

  Proven experience in performance testing of RESTful APIs and WebSocket services.

• Distributed Systems:

  Experience testing the performance of distributed, microservices-based architectures.
