  • Perform Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for performance bottlenecks across various layers of the application stack (e.g., application code, database, network, infrastructure).
  • Provide actionable recommendations to development and operations teams for performance improvement.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship:
  • Lead and mentor a team of performance test engineers, providing technical guidance, support, and fostering their growth.
  • Delegate tasks, monitor progress, and ensure the successful completion of performance testing initiatives.
• Kubernetes Integration & Testing:
  • Demonstrate hands-on experience with Kubernetes for understanding application deployment, scaling, and resource management within containerized environments for performance testing.
  • Ability to monitor and troubleshoot performance issues in Kubernetes-orchestrated applications.
• Performance Engineering & SDLC:
  • Possess strong knowledge of performance engineering concepts and approaches, integrating performance testing throughout the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC).
  • Contribute to the continuous improvement of performance testing processes and methodologies.
• Client Communication & Project Management:
  • Exhibit excellent client communication skills, presenting complex technical findings clearly and concisely to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Ability to work effectively under strict timelines and manage multiple performance testing projects concurrently.

What You Bring:
