About the role
- Design and execute comprehensive performance test strategies — Load, Stress, Soak, Spike, Scalability, and Endurance testing.
- Develop and maintain performance scripts using tools such as JMeter, Gatling, LoadRunner, Locust, or k6.
- Simulate realistic user traffic and workload models for distributed systems.
- Perform root cause analysis across application, API, database, and infrastructure layers.
- Define and maintain performance baselines, SLAs, and SLOs.
- Integrate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines for continuous validation.
- Build AI-driven performance analysis frameworks using pattern recognition and anomaly detection.
- Develop custom test agents/orchestrators using MCPs to simulate large-scale, multi-node workloads.
- Implement self-healing test systems that adapt dynamically to environment changes.
- Use ML models to predict performance degradation and proactively optimize systems.
- Automate root cause detection with AI-assisted observability insights.
- Use observability tools (Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, New Relic, AppDynamics) to monitor and analyze performance metrics.
- Create visual dashboards to communicate trends and optimization opportunities.
- Collaborate with SRE and development teams for end-to-end performance tuning.
- Partner with engineering, QA, and platform teams early in the SDLC to define performance goals.
- Conduct post-release reviews and contribute to testing standards and best practices.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience in performance testing for large-scale distributed systems
- Strong programming skills in Python, Go, or JavaScript/TypeScript
- Hands-on with modern testing tools (JMeter, Gatling, Locust, k6, LoadRunner)
- Expertise in performance metrics — latency, throughput, error rate, concurrency, resource utilization
- Experience integrating with CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps)
- Deep understanding of microservices, containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and distributed architectures
- Skilled in analyzing logs, metrics, and traces for performance bottlenecks.
Benefits
- Culture of hunger, humility, honesty, and heart
- Opportunity to work on AI-driven innovation
