Senior Performance Test Engineer

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Performance Test Engineer based in India.

This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of performance engineering for complex enterprise web applications. You will design and evolve scalable testing frameworks that validate application reliability, responsiveness, and capacity under demanding workloads. The position combines hands-on scripting with performance analysis, CI/CD integration, and close collaboration across engineering and product teams. You’ll work with modern performance-testing tools while investigating bottlenecks across application and infrastructure layers. The role also provides an opportunity to influence testing strategy and mentor junior engineers. It is ideal for a technically strong performance specialist who enjoys solving complex scalability challenges in an enterprise environment.

• Design, develop, and maintain reusable performance-testing frameworks using JMeter for load, stress, endurance, and spike testing.
• Build performance test scripts for complex web applications, including dynamic elements, object selections, lookups, drill-downs, child-record views, pop-ups, and multi-window workflows.
• Simulate concurrent-user scenarios and measure key performance indicators such as response time, throughput, error rates, and resource utilization.
• Collaborate with development, QA, and product teams to define performance requirements, establish test scenarios, and identify optimization opportunities.
• Integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines and support automated execution through tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps.
• Implement effective test-data management, dynamic-value correlation, parameterization, error handling, logging, and reporting practices.
• Analyze performance results and application behavior to identify bottlenecks, scalability constraints, and areas requiring optimization.
• Apply monitoring and profiling techniques across Java-based applications, including JVM performance analysis and heap utilization.
• Mentor junior performance engineers, conduct script and framework reviews, and contribute to continuous improvements in performance-testing processes.
• Evaluate emerging performance-testing technologies and recommend improvements to tools, frameworks, and testing strategies.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• At least 5 years of hands-on experience in performance testing and performance engineering.
• Strong practical expertise with Selenium and LoadRunner, along with hands-on experience developing performance-testing solutions using JMeter.
• Strong Java programming skills and the ability to create maintainable, scalable test scripts and automation components.
• Solid understanding of performance engineering concepts and metrics, including latency, throughput, error rates, concurrency, resource utilization, and scalability.
• Experience with monitoring and profiling tools such as PerfMon and Grafana, with knowledge of JVM tuning and heap analysis.
• Familiarity with additional performance-testing tools such as Gatling or NeoLoad for comparative or hybrid testing.
• Experience with CI/CD platforms such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or Azure DevOps and version control using Git.
• Knowledge of Agile/Scrum methodologies and defect-management tools such as JIRA.
• Strong understanding of API performance testing using approaches such as JMeter HTTP samplers or RestAssured is preferred.
• Experience with enterprise applications such as IBM MREF/TRIRIGA, Maximo Application Suite, IWMS, asset-management, facilities-management, or real-estate platforms is an advantage.
• Familiarity with application-performance monitoring solutions such as AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or New Relic is desirable.
• Performance-testing certifications, such as ISTQB Performance Testing Specialist, or relevant JMeter training are a plus.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, clear communication skills, and the ability to work independently as well as collaboratively.
• Demonstrated ability to mentor colleagues and contribute to broader performance-engineering strategy.

Benefits

• Fully remote, full-time work opportunity in India.
• Opportunity to work on complex enterprise applications and large-scale performance challenges.
• Hands-on exposure to performance engineering, automation, CI/CD, monitoring, and enterprise technology platforms.
• Opportunities to mentor junior engineers and influence performance-testing strategy.
• Collaborative environment involving development, QA, product, and technical teams.
• Exposure to emerging technologies and modern performance-testing practices.
• Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.
• Potential to gain domain experience across facilities management, real estate, asset management, and enterprise software.
