Sr. SQE Performance Testing

What You'll Do:

Performance Testing Strategy & Ownership

Drive the overall performance testing strategy aligned with business and product goals.

Own the end-to-end performance testing lifecycle, including planning, scripting, execution, monitoring, and reporting.

Test Design & Execution

Design and implement scalable load, stress, endurance, and spike test scenarios.

Develop and maintain performance test frameworks and reusable assets.

Execute tests to validate system scalability, reliability, and stability under load.

Analysis & Reporting

Analyze performance bottlenecks across application, database, and infrastructure layers.

Deliver detailed performance reports, dashboards, and analytics with actionable recommendations.

Collaboration & Continuous Integration

Collaborate with development, DevOps, and architecture teams to resolve performance issues.
