Key Responsibilities

- Gather non-functional requirements and translate them into performance test strategies, workload models, and SLAs (response time, throughput, concurrency, error rate).

- Design, script, and execute load, stress, endurance, spike, and scalability tests using tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner.

- Perform API/web services performance testing (REST/SOAP) and database-level performance validation.

- Analyse test results to identify bottlenecks (application, database, network, or infrastructure) and work with engineering teams to resolve them.

- Prepare detailed performance test reports, dashboards, and executive summaries with clear recommendations.

- Contribute to capacity planning and pre-production performance sign-off for major releases.

Must-Have Skills

- 7 years of overall QA/testing experience, with 3+ years focused specifically on performance testing.

- Strong hands-on experience with JMeter and/or LoadRunner working on Enterprise Applications.

- Solid understanding of performance testing concepts: load, stress, soak/endurance, spike, and scalability testing.

- Experience with performance scripting for HTTP/HTML, REST/SOAP web services, and correlation/parameterization techniques.





- Working knowledge of SQL for backend validation and query performance analysis.

- Basic scripting ability (Java, Python, or Shell) for test data setup and automation of test workflows.

- Good understanding of the full performance test lifecycle — requirement gathering, planning, scripting, execution, analysis, and reporting.

- Robust at Debugging/Troubleshooting/Log Analysis.

Good-to-Have Skills

- Exposure to cloud environments (AWS/Azure) and containerized applications (Docker/Kubernetes).

- Experience integrating performance tests into CI/CD pipelines

- Knowledge of microservices architecture and distributed system performance considerations.

- Performance testing certifications (e.g., LoadRunner/JMeter certification, Certified Performance Tester).

Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related field.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently under release timelines.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills to present findings to technical and business stakeholders.
