Job description

This is a remote position.

Position Overview:
We are seeking a highly skilled Performance Test Engineer to join our dynamic team. 

 

Responsibilities

Functional Test Automation

  • Design, develop, and maintain robust functional test suites using Playwright to ensure high-quality releases.
  • Build and scale automated UI and API test coverage for web applications.
  • Integrate test automation into CI/CD pipelines for continuous testing.

Performance Testing

  • Design comprehensive performance test strategies for complex, distributed applications, covering load, stress, soak, and endurance scenarios.
  • Develop and maintain robust test scripts using LoadRunner (DevWeb and TrueClient protocols) and integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines where applicable.
  • Execute performance tests simulating realistic production loads to assess system scalability, reliability, and responsiveness.
  • Generate detailed performance test reports, presenting results clearly to stakeholders and recommending appropriate remediation steps.

Performance Engineering

  • Analyze test results to pinpoint performance bottlenecks at various layers — application code, server configuration, database queries, or infrastructure.
  • Collaborate with developers, architects, and operations teams to identify root causes and guide performance tuning.
  • Profile applications to monitor CPU, memory, thread, and network utilization under load and suggest optimizations.
  • Participate in architecture and design reviews, providing performance-related recommendations for new features or enhancements.
  • Develop performance baselines and benchmarks to support capacity planning and future growth.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement

  • Educate and mentor development teams on best practices for designing high-performance applications.
  • Contribute to building reusable testing frameworks, test data generation utilities, and performance monitoring dashboards.
  • Stay current with industry trends, tools, and methodologies in performance testing and engineering, and introduce innovations to improve team effectiveness.


Requirements

Required Skills & Qualifications
