About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Design, script, execute, and analyze load tests; maintain the LoadRunner/VuGen framework; integrate performance gates into pipelines
Define and own the enterprise performance engineering strategy, methodology, and governance framework across all platforms and engineering squads
Establish performance testing standards, VuGen scripting guidelines, and test design patterns for distributed, microservices-based, and cloud-native applications
Serve as the primary technical authority on performance engineering — advising architects, developers, and SREs on non-functional requirements, performance budgets, and capacity planning
Collaborate with product and engineering leadership to align performance benchmarks with business SLAs and user experience targets
Architect and implement end-to-end performance test strategies: load testing, stress testing, soak/endurance testing, spike testing, and capacity modeling
Analyze and interpret key performance indicators: response time (percentile distributions), throughput (TPS/RPS), concurrent user capacity, error rates, and resource utilization

Requirements

What you’ll need

3+ years in performance engineering, load testing, and performance analysis for large-scale enterprise and cloud-native applications
Expert-level proficiency in Micro Focus LoadRunner and VuGen — protocol selection, C-based scripting, manual and automatic correlation, parameterization, and transaction modeling
Deep VuGen scripting experience across HTTP/HTML, TruClient, Web Services (SOAP/REST), SAP GUI, and multi-protocol scenarios
Hands-on experience with LoadRunner Controller and LoadRunner Enterprise — scenario design, Vuser scheduling, load generator management, and real-time monitoring integration
Strong LoadRunner Analysis proficiency — percentile reporting, graph correlation, transaction breakdown, and server-side resource analysis
Demonstrated ability to architect a performance test framework from scratch — script libraries, data management, and execution orchestration
Experience integrating performance tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions) with automated quality gates
Strong Azure platform knowledge: AKS, App Services, Event Hubs, Azure SQL, and managed services in a production context
Solid understanding of distributed systems, microservices, and API gateway behavior as it relates to performance characteristics
