Managing Projects and Policies

• Senior engineer on Enterprise Quality Engineering Performance team, specializing in performance testing tools like Gatling, K6, Neo Load or similar for automated scripting, load and stress testing of applications and services.
• Champion continuous improvement in performance testing practices, tool selection, and adoption of leading-edge products like Harness.
• Actively monitor and analyze application performance using Dynatrace (Davis AI, Grail), logs, and traces to proactively identify performance degradation, anomalies, and architectural risks before they impact customers.
• Perform root cause analysis by correlating load test results with runtime telemetry, backend service behavior, database interactions, and infrastructure metrics.
• Review and interpret Java and Python code to understand execution paths, threading, I/O behavior, and integration patterns that influence performance and scalability.
• Develop a deep understanding of end-to-end system architecture, including upstream and downstream dependencies, to assess performance impact across the full transaction lifecycle.
• Partner with application engineers, architects, and cloud teams to recommend concrete performance improvements, including code level optimizations, configuration changes, and architectural enhancements.
• Define and evolve performance engineering standards, ensuring performance considerations are embedded early in design and development rather than treated as a late-stage testing activity.
• Use performance testing tools (e.g., Neo Load) as diagnostic instruments, not just execution engines, to validate hypotheses and support engineering decisions.
• Performs complex quantitative and qualitative analyses for delivering Quality Engineering reporting solutions
• Validates solutions with internal customers and stakeholders
• Facilitates achievement of expected deliverables per plan
• Assists in the defect management process
• Participates in the identification and monitoring of risks and issues
• Serve as a key member of the QE leadership team
• Candiadte should experience in cloud technologies i.e. AWS.

Skills and Experience

Required

• Experience in software development, test engineering, with expert-level expertise in multiple testing methodologies
• Experience engaging highly technical architecture, engineering and operations teams and driving outcomes with QE automation
• Strong verbal and written communication and problem-solving skills
• Able to guide the implementation of BDD, TDD and related approaches to software development
• Experience with Test Automation and DevSecOps tools (e.g., Git, JIRA, Ant, Maven, Jenkins)
• Undergraduate degree in an engineering or computer science discipline and/or equivalent experience/certification
• Strong performance engineering mindset with experience analyzing production like telemetry, logs, and distributed traces, not just test execution results.
• Ability to read, understand, and reason about Java and Python code to identify performance risks and optimization opportunities.
• Solid understanding of distributed system architecture, including microservices, APIs, databases, messaging, and cloud infrastructure.
• Experience using observability platforms (e.g., Dynatrace) for continuous performance analysis, root cause investigation, and system optimization.
• Proven ability to translate technical findings into actionable recommendations for engineering and architecture teams.
• Demonstrated ability to move from “test results” to “engineering insights”, influencing design and implementation decisions.
• Overall experience range is 6+ years.

Preferred

• Demonstrated success leading medium- to large-scale initiatives/transformations.
• Proven knowledge of Agile methodology (preferably SAFe Agile).
