Job Summary

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Performance Test Engineer with at least 5 years of hands-on experience in designing performance testing frameworks and developing test scripts using Apache JMeter. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in performance and stress testing for complex web applications, particularly those involving dynamic elements, multi-window interactions, and enterprise workflows. Experience with IBM MREF (formerly known as IBM TRIRIGA, an Integrated Workplace Management System), Maximo Application Suite (MAS), or similar enterprise systems is advantageous but not mandatory. This role involves building robust, scalable performance testing solutions to ensure the efficiency, scalability, and reliability of our applications under various load conditions.

Key Responsibilities

· Design, develop, and maintain performance testing frameworks from scratch or enhance existing ones using JMeter, ensuring reusability, scalability, and maintainability for load, stress, endurance, and spike testing.

· Create performance test scripts for web-based applications, focusing on scenarios involving object selections, lookups, drill-downs, and child record views that often open new windows or pop-ups, simulating concurrent users and measuring metrics like response times, throughput, and resource utilization.

· Collaborate with development, QA, and product teams to identify performance requirements, integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines, and analyze test results to identify bottlenecks and optimization opportunities.

· Implement best practices for test data management, correlation of dynamic values, parameterization, error handling, reporting, and logging to support efficient debugging and execution.

· Optimize performance scripts for handling dynamic UI elements, cross-browser compatibility, multi-environment testing, and high-volume simulations using JMeter features like thread groups, samplers, and plugins.

· Mentor junior engineers, conduct script reviews, and contribute to process improvements in the performance testing strategy.

· Stay updated with industry trends in performance tools and technologies to recommend enhancements.

Required Qualifications and Skills

· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

· Minimum 5 years of experience in performance testing, with proven expertise in Apache JMeter for load and stress testing.

· Strong programming skills in Java (preferred, as it aligns with many enterprise apps and JMeter scripting), including experience with build tools like Maven or Gradle.

· Proficiency in JMeter components such as Test Plans, Thread Groups, Samplers (HTTP Request), Listeners, and Pre/Post Processors, along with handling correlations, assertions, and distributed testing.

· Solid understanding of performance metrics (e.g., latency, throughput, error rates), monitoring tools (e.g., PerfMon, Grafana), and profiling techniques for Java-based applications (e.g., JVM tuning, heap analysis).

· Experience with testing tools and libraries like JMeter Plugins Manager, Groovy scripting for custom logic, and integration with databases or APIs for realistic data simulation.

· Familiarity with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps, and version control systems like Git.

· Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies and defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA).

· Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently or in a team.

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience performance testing enterprise applications like IBM MREF (formerly TRIRIGA), MAS, or similar IWMS/asset management systems.

· Exposure to other performance tools such as LoadRunner, Gatling, or NeoLoad for comparative or hybrid testing.

· Understanding of API performance testing (e.g., using JMeter's HTTP samplers or RestAssured) to complement UI-based load testing.

· Certifications in performance testing (e.g., ISTQB Performance Testing Specialist) or JMeter-specific training.

· Prior experience in domains like facilities management, real estate, or asset management software, with knowledge of monitoring tools like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or New Relic for end-to-end analysis.
