Role and Responsibilities Design, develop, and execute performance, load, stress, and scalability tests for our SaaS platform's web applications, APIs, and backend microservices. Build and maintain performance testing frameworks using tools such as JMeter, Gatling, k6, or similar. Create realistic load simulations based on usage patterns of SaaS customers across multiple regions and tenants. Analyze performance test results and system metrics (CPU, memory, I/O, latency, throughput) using tools like Grafana, New Relic, or Datadog. Work with DevOps to test in production-like environments and automate performance testing in CI/CD pipelines. Collaborate with backend and infrastructure teams to identify performance bottlenecks, optimize configurations, and inform capacity planning. Monitor and validate adherence to SLAs and SLOs across services, particularly during scale-up events or product launches. Support engineering teams by recommending optimizations and tuning strategies across application tiers (app, database, cache, etc.). Provide detailed, data-driven reports with insights and recommendations for technical and product stakeholders. Advocate for performance best practices in design, implementation, and infrastructure decisions. Continuously improve tooling, automation, and test coverage for performance testing at scale.
Bonus Skills
