Overview:We are seeking a Senior Performance Tester to join a dedicated team ensuring the scalability and reliability of critical enterprise applications. This is a “hands-on” technical role for a practitioner who loves scripting, executing, and analyzing tests. You will play a pivotal role in a major initiative to migrate applications to an AWS cloud environment, utilizing a modern toolstack including Tricentis Neo Load and Datadog.
You will

- Execute load, stress, and scalability tests to ensure application stability during cloud migration.
- Analyze performance results deeply to identify bottlenecks, using monitoring tools like Datadog to pinpoint root causes.
- Collaborate directly with development and systems teams to troubleshoot and resolve performance defects.
- Migrate legacy performance scripts from Load Runner to Neo Load.
- 5+ years of performance testing experience with a heavy emphasis on hands-on scripting (not just execution).
- Demonstrable experience with Tricentis Neo Load and Open Text Load Runner.
- Experience using performance monitoring tools, specifically Datadog (highly preferred) or App Dynamics.
- Strong proficiency in SQL and PL/SQL for data creation and validation.
- Must be willing to interview in-person for the final round and work onsite two days per month.
- Experience performance testing in an AWS cloud environment.
- Proven experience migrating test assets from Load Runner to Neo Load.
