Advisor, Quality Assurance Engineering

Overview

Design, execute, and analyze performance tests for enterprise-grade applications to ensure scalability, reliability, stability, and compliance with SLAs and KPIs. Collaborate with development, infrastructure, and DevOps teams to identify bottlenecks, tune systems, and integrate performance validation into CI/CD pipelines.

What you'll do

• Design and develop comprehensive performance test strategies, plans, and scripts for enterprise applications.
• Execute load, stress, spike, and endurance testing to evaluate system performance and scalability.
• Analyze test results to identify performance bottlenecks, root causes, and system constraints.
• Collaborate with development and infrastructure teams to troubleshoot and resolve performance issues.
• Monitor application and system performance using APM tools such as Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Splunk, and Grafana.
• Define performance benchmarks and ensure applications meet required SLAs and KPIs.
• Conduct detailed root cause analysis for system slowdowns, failures, or inefficiencies.
• Provide actionable recommendations for performance tuning and optimization across application and infrastructure layers.
• Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous performance validation.
• Prepare and present performance reports, dashboards, and insights to stakeholders.
• Analyze database performance using SQL/PLSQL and contribute to performance improvements.
• Evaluate server-side metrics including CPU, memory, threads, and database performance.

What you'll need

• 8+ years of experience in performance testing and performance engineering.
• Hands-on expertise with performance testing tools such as JMeter.
• Strong experience in performance test design, execution, and workload modeling.
• Experience in test data creation and preparation for performance scenarios.
• Hands-on experience with monitoring and observability tools like Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Splunk, Grafana, or similar.
• Strong understanding of HTTP/HTTPS protocols, REST APIs, and microservices architecture.
