Senior Performance Engineer / Performance Test Lead
*Bangalore, India | Onsite (4–5 days/week) | 3 Openings | 8–12 Years Experience*
Role Summary
We are hiring a Senior Performance Testing and Performance Engineering professional to lead performance testing efforts for a major Java platform upgrade in a retail/e-commerce environment. This is a hands-on engineering role, not an execution-only testing position — the ideal candidate builds workload models, investigates root causes of performance issues, and drives fixes independently, working closely with application and infrastructure teams.
What You'll Do
- Design, execute, and analyze performance tests using JMeter and LoadRunner across application layers
- Build workload models based on production traffic patterns and business scenarios
- Use Dynatrace (distributed tracing, SLOs, Davis AI, anomaly detection) to monitor performance and drive root cause analysis
- Investigate and troubleshoot Java performance issues, including analysis relevant to the ongoing Java version upgrade
- Identify response-time bottlenecks and correlate Dynatrace findings with application and infrastructure behavior
- Tune application and server parameters, and recommend fixes based on findings
- Partner with development and infrastructure teams to resolve performance issues end-to-end
- Present transparent, technically sound RCA and recommendations to technical and management stakeholders
Required Skills & Experience
- 8–12 years of overall experience, with strong hands-on work in both Performance Testing and Performance Engineering
- Expert-level, practical experience with Dynatrace: distributed tracing, SLOs, Workflows, anomaly detection, and Davis AI
- Proven experience with JMeter and LoadRunner in production-scale testing
- Strong Java performance analysis and troubleshooting skills
- Demonstrated experience in workload modelling and root cause analysis for real performance issues (not just tool exposure)
- Ability to explain, in depth
