The ideal candidate will bring deep expertise in performance testing, workload modeling, capacity planning, observability, application bottleneck analysis, and production-readiness validation. This role requires someone who can operate beyond traditional performance testing—partnering with architects, developers, DevOps/SRE teams, product owners, and engineering leadership to identify scalability risks early, establish measurable non-functional requirements, and ensure systems can reliably support expected business growth and peak workloads. The profile is particularly suited to someone with extensive experience leading performance engineering for high-throughput systems, microservices, cloud platforms, messaging systems, e-commerce, and customer-facing applications, including load testing, capacity planning, JVM/database analysis, observability, Kubernetes, and distributed systems. **Key Responsibilities** **Performance Strategy & Architecture** - Define performance engineering strategies, standards, NFRs, KPIs, SLAs/SLOs, workload models, and release criteria. - Participate in requirements, architecture, database, infrastructure, and design reviews to identify performance risks early. - Design and execute baseline, load, stress, spike, endurance, scalability, capacity, volume, failover, and resilience tests. - Develop realistic workload models based on customer usage, business volumes, production traffic, concurrency, and forecasted growth. - Develop reusable performance solutions using JMeter, k6, Gatling, Locust, LoadRunner, NeoLoad, or similar tools. - Establish production-readiness and performance quality criteria for major releases. **Performance Analysis & Optimization** - Analyze response time, throughput, latency, concurrency, error rates, CPU, memory, network, database, and infrastructure utilization. - Identify bottlenecks across UI, APIs, microservices, databases, messaging, network, infrastructure, containers, and cloud platforms. - Correlate logs, APM data, distributed traces, database metrics, infrastructure telemetry, and application code to identify root causes. - Perform JVM, threading, connection-pool, caching, timeout, retry, queue, and autoscaling analysis. - Perform SQL performance analysis including execution plans, indexing, locking, blocking, waits, I/O, and connection pooling. - Partner with engineering teams to recommend, implement, and validate performance optimizations. - Lead root-cause analysis of production performance issues and recurring regressions. **Scalability, Capacity & Resilience** - Validate horizontal and vertical scalability, autoscaling, application stability, and infrastructure capacity. - Develop capacity models and recommend infrastructure sizing based on workload growth and utilization trends. - Analyze Kubernetes pods, CPU/memory limits, HPA behavior, database capacity, thread pools, connections, and queue depths. - Validate application behavior during peak workloads, infrastructure saturation, downstream failures, failover, and recovery. - Support capacity planning and production readiness for major launches and business-critical events. - Identify cloud and infrastructure optimization opportunities while maintaining performance and reliability. **Automation & Continuous Performance Testing** - Build reusable performance testing frameworks, utilities, and automated regression suites. - Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab CI, or equivalent tools. - Automate test data preparation, execution, monitoring, analysis, baseline comparison, and reporting. - Establish automated performance quality gates and regression detection. - Track performance baselines and trends across releases to proactively identify degradation before production. **Observability & Front-End Performance** - Define observability requirements and create dashboards for performance analysis and production-readiness assessments. - Use tools such as Grafana, Prometheus, Splunk, Datadog, Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics, Kibana, and InfluxDB. - Evaluate browser performance, Core Web Vitals, page rendering, network activity, and responsiveness using Chrome DevTools, Lighthouse, WebPageTest, or Playwright tracing. **Quality Engineering & Technical Leadership** - Collaborate with Quality Engineers, Developers, Architects, Database, DevOps/SRE, and Infrastructure teams on functional and non-functional quality. - Produce clear performance reports highlighting findings, trends, risks, capacity constraints, and recommendations. - Mentor engineers on performance engineering practices and promote a performance-first quality mindset. - Represent Performance Engineering in architecture, design, and release-readiness reviews. - Introduce approved AI-assisted performance engineering approaches for workload modeling, script generation, log analysis, result interpretation, RCA, and defect investigation. **Skills & Qualifications** - Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, Information Technology, or equivalent experience. - 12+ years of Quality/Performance Engineering experience, with significant hands-on performance engineering expertise. - Experience as a Performance Architect, Principal Performance Engineer, Performance Lead, or equivalent senior technical role. - Strong experience with JMeter, k6, Gatling, Locust, LoadRunner, NeoLoad, or equivalent tools. - Strong knowledge of workload modeling, scalability, capacity planning, resilience, and performance analysis. - Experience with On-Premises, SaaS, cloud, hybrid, microservices, and distributed applications. - Strong understanding of HTTP, REST APIs, GraphQL, WebSockets, caching, messaging, and asynchronous processing. - Strong SQL and database performance troubleshooting skills; experience with SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL is desirable. - Experience with Java/JVM performance concepts including GC, memory, threading, and concurrency. - Experience with observability/APM platforms and distributed tracing. - Working knowledge of Linux, Windows Server, networking, containers, Kubernetes, AWS and/or Azure. - Experience integrating performance tests into CI/CD pipelines. - Programming or scripting experience in JavaScript, Java, Python, C#, Shell, or similar languages. - Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, mentoring, and stakeholder-management skills. **Preferred Experience** - High-throughput and highly concurrent enterprise applications. - SaaS, retail, telecom, e-commerce, messaging, or customer-facing platforms. - Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, Elasticsearch, or similar distributed technologies. -
