Description The Digital Delivery team is responsible for engineering and supporting modern web and mobile applications through the development of user interfaces, microservices, and scalable solutions across multiple devices and platforms. As a Performance Test Engineer, you will be responsible for executing end-to-end performance testing efforts while partnering with QA leads and leadership to support activities across multiple initiatives. This role requires strong hands-on performance engineering expertise, including designing, developing, and executing performance test strategies to validate system scalability, reliability, and stability.

In addition, you will support senior leads and QA leadership in advancing performance testing processes, identifying risks and bottlenecks, analyzing test results, and driving performance improvement recommendations.

• Perform load, stress, endurance, and scalability testing to validate the production readiness of applications and infrastructure for stability and performance
• Design, develop, and execute performance test scripts and scenarios that accurately simulate realworld user behavior
• Build, maintain, and enhance automated performance testing solutions using tools such as Neo Load or similar
• Analyze performance test results to identify bottlenecks, system constraints, and optimization opportunities
• Utilize monitoring and observability tools (App Insights, Splunk, etc.) to assess system performance and troubleshoot issues
• Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate performance testing early in the SDLC.
• Define performance SLAs and establish baseline metrics using production insights to ensure realistic and measurable performance goals
• Identify, understand, and document system dependencies across services and applications for accurate test coverage and implement mocking strategies to isolate dependencies and enable stable, repeatable testing.
• Support stabilization and management of performance testing environment, ensuring consistency, reliability, and scalability
• Support QA leads and leadership in planning, prioritization, and execution of performance testing activities
• Assist in coordinating performance testing efforts across multiple initiatives to ensure timely and high-quality delivery
• Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior team members, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement
• Review performance test scripts, test plans, and results to ensure alignment with standards and best practices
• Collect, analyze, and communicate performance testing results to leadership and/or stakeholders, providing actionable insights and recommendations
• Contribute to the development and continuous improvement of performance testing strategies, frameworks, and standards
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance testing efficiency, coverage, and effectiveness
• Analyze and optimize performance across distributed microservices architectures, containerized platforms, and cloud-native environments
• Document, track, and report defects identified during testing in accordance with established defect management processes. Collaborate with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to drive timely resolution, provide status updates, and communicate risks, trends, and outcomes to leadership.
• Perform other duties as assigned.

• Strong knowledge and hands-on experience in perf testing.
• Design and executes the proper testing to understand how the system performs and where changes are needed. (load, stress, endurance, etc.)
• Understands performance metrics and workload modeling
• Identifies performance risks before reaching production
• Strong knowledge and hands-on experience in technical analysis/problem solving
• Ability to analyze test results to identify…
