Sr. Cloud Performance Testing Specialist

Sr. Performance Tester (Cloud Migration Expert)

We are seeking a highly skilled and analytical Sr. Performance Tester to join our team. As a key member of our software delivery team, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and executing comprehensive performance test plans and strategies for complex enterprise applications.

This role is crucial for ensuring the stability, scalability, and reliability of our enterprise applications, particularly as we modernize and migrate existing workloads to cloud environments.

The ideal candidate will possess a strong blend of application performance engineering expertise, meticulous regression testing practices, and a solid understanding of cloud-native architectures.

• Design, develop, and execute comprehensive performance test plans and strategies for complex enterprise applications, including workload modeling, stress, soak, and scalability testing.
• Create and maintain performance test scripts using tools such as JMeter, LoadRunner, k6, or similar, ensuring accurate simulation of user behavior and business transactions.
• Monitor and analyze application performance metrics (e.g., response times, throughput, resource utilization, error rates) using APM tools (e.g., Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics, CloudWatch, Azure Monitor) to identify bottlenecks and areas for optimization.
• Collaborate closely with development, DevOps, and cloud engineering teams to pinpoint root causes of performance degradation and recommend solutions.
• Conduct performance baselining and compare results against non-functional requirements and pre-migration benchmarks to validate performance improvements or identify regressions.
• Provide insights into the impact of cloud infrastructure configurations (e.g., instance types, database performance, networking) on application performance.

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of dedicated experience in Application Performance Testing and Engineering.
• 3+ years of experience in Application Regression Testing, particularly in complex enterprise environments.
• Demonstrated expertise with performance testing tools such as JMeter (strong proficiency required), LoadRunner, or k6.
• Hands-on experience in at least two significant engagements involving the analysis and migration of existing enterprise applications to AWS or Azure, with a focus on ensuring application quality and performance post-migration.
• Solid understanding of application architectures (monolithic, microservices), databases, and network fundamentals.
• Familiarity with APM tools and cloud-native monitoring services (e.g., AWS CloudWatch, Azure Monitor).
• Experience with version control systems (e.g., Git).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to diagnose performance bottlenecks and root causes of defects.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.

• Azure/AWS certifications.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of containerization technologies (e.g., Docker).
• Familiarity with agile methodologies (e.g., Scrum).

We offer a competitive salary, bonus structure, and comprehensive benefits package, including health insurance, 401(k) matching, and paid time off.

Our company values diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we strive to create a workplace that is welcoming and inclusive for all employees.

We are committed to professional development and growth opportunities, including training programs, mentorship, and education assistance.
