Job description

Manager Note--Performance Tester, LoadRunner, JMeter JVM, Kubernetes/OpenShift (OCP)

Overview:
We are looking for a highly experienced Performance Engineer who goes beyond traditional testing. This is a lead-level role requiring deep expertise in performance engineering, including scripting, tuning, analysis, and providing strategic recommendations.

The current workload is extensive, so we need someone who is highly independent, proactive, and capable of taking full ownership of performance initiatives with minimal oversight.

Top 3 Skills:

  • LoadRunner (preferred)
  • JVM tuning and performance analysis
  • Monitoring & observability tools

Key Expectations:

  • Act as a true performance engineer, not just a tester
  • Take end-to-end ownership of performance projects
  • Work independently in a high-demand, fast-paced environment
  • Engage in requirement gathering and translate them into performance strategies
  • Define and build volume metrics and workload models
  • Design and create accurate performance test scenarios
  • Execute tests and provide detailed analysis and recommendations

Core Responsibilities:

  • Performance test planning, scripting, and execution
  • Advanced script development, including use of custom code
  • Performance tuning and bottleneck identification
  • Scenario design and workload modeling
  • API and REST service testing
  • Collaborate with stakeholders to ensure performance requirements are met

Required Skills & Experience:

  • 7+ years of hands-on experience in performance engineering
  • Strong experience in performance engineering (not just testing)
  • Expertise in scripting and scenario building
  • Ability to write and incorporate custom code into scripts
  • Strong understanding of APIs / REST services
  • Experience with API testing
  • Hands-on experience with container platforms (must-have)
  • Preferred scripting language: C
  • Experience in contact center environments (highly preferred)

Work Schedule:

  • Primarily normal business hours
  • Flexibility required to work evenings, nights, and weekends as needed
