Key Responsibilities Performance Test Design and Execution

• Design, develop and execute performance test scripts for API, web and mobile applications using JMeter, K6, Gatling or equivalent performance testing tools.
• Plan and conduct load, stress, endurance and scalability testing to evaluate application behaviour under different operating conditions.
• Develop realistic workload models based on business transactions, user activity and expected traffic patterns.
• Establish performance baselines to measure application responsiveness, throughput and stability.
• Evaluate system performance across frontend, middleware and backend components.
• Assess application behaviour under increasing workloads and identify performance limitations.

Performance Analysis and Optimization

• Analyse performance test results to identify application bottlenecks and resource constraints.
• Investigate frontend rendering performance, API response latency and backend processing throughput.
• Conduct root‑cause analysis of performance issues and recommend appropriate tuning and optimization measures.
• Collaborate with software development, Dev Ops, mobile application and infrastructure teams to investigate and resolve performance problems.
• Support performance improvements through detailed technical analysis and validation testing.
• Apply analytical and debugging skills to understand complex application performance behaviour.

CI/CD Integration and Test Automation

• Integrate automated performance tests into continuous integration and continuous delivery pipelines.
• Work with Jenkins, Git Hub Actions and Git Lab to support continuous performance validation.
• Develop and maintain automated testing workflows for repeatable performance assessments.
• Support the use of scripting languages and automation techniques to improve testing efficiency.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to incorporate performance testing into application build and deployment processes.

Application Monitoring and Reporting

• Use Dynatrace, Grafana or equivalent application performance monitoring and observability platforms.
• Monitor application behaviour and infrastructure resource utilisation during performance testing.
• Analyse key performance indicators, including response time, throughput, latency, error rate and resource consumption.
• Create performance dashboards and visualisations to communicate test findings.
