Job Descriptions:
We are seeking a Performance & Resiliency Test Engineer with 8+ years of hands- on experience in performance engineering, resiliency testing, and enterprise-grade optimization. This role demands expertise in performance testing tools (LoadRunner, JMeter), observability platforms (Dynatrace, AppDynamics), and resilience validation strategies such as CL0 validation and support for audit initiatives (e.g., Audit issue IS - 17556). You will be responsible for identifying performance bottlenecks, enhancing system reliability, and ensuring operational stability across containerized environments and cloud-native platforms.
 
Key Responsibilities
Performance Engineering & Observability
• Design, execute, and maintain performance tests using LoadRunner, JMeter, or similar tools.
• Identify application bottlenecks and optimize performance with recommendations.
• Leverage APM tools (Dynatrace, AppDynamics, New Relic) for end-to-end monitoring and root cause analysis.
 
Resiliency Testing & Audit Support
• Perform resiliency validation using frameworks like CL0 testing to ensure application robustness during outages and failovers.
• Contribute to audit support and remediation, specifically addressing issues like IS - 17556.
• Lead and support operationalresiliency efforts across platforms(e.g., Travis K space), ensuring enterprise-grade uptime and recovery preparedness. Cloud & Containerization
• Execute performance/resiliency testing in Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift environments.
• Align testing strategies with cloud-native architectures and microservices best practices.
 
CI/CD Integration & Agile Collaboration
• Integrate performance and resiliency validation in CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with cross-functional Agile/DevOps teams to embed performance KPIs within sprint goals.
• Participate in backlog grooming and iteration planning for system capability assessments.

Required Skills & Qualifications
• 8+ years in performance engineering and testing roles.
• Proficient with LoadRunner, JMeter, and APM tools (Dynatrace, New Relic, AppDynamics).
• Experience in resiliency testing, CL0 validation, and incident/audit support.
• Familiar with container and orchestration platforms like Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift.
• Good understanding of CI/CD, Agile, and DevOps practices.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
• Strong ownership mindset and ability to work independently.
 
Preferred Skills
• Experience in Golang, Python, Java, or JavaScript development.
• Familiarity with risk assessment frameworks, PLM, and audit compliance.
• Proven track record in driving performance innovation across large-scale systems.
