Job Summary
We are looking for an experienced Performance Tester to design, develop, execute, and
analyze performance and resiliency tests for distributed systems running in a Kubernetes
environment. The ideal candidate should have strong hands-on experience with performance
testing tools such as JMeter, test automation, workload simulation, performance analysis, and
identifying system bottlenecks.

Key Responsibilities
● Develop, execute, and analyze performance tests involving complex workloads and
large simulated test datasets for distributed systems running in Kubernetes
environments.
● Implement shift-left automated performance and resiliency testing as part of the Pull
Request (PR) analysis process to prevent performance defects from reaching
production.
● Develop automation tools or leverage open-source frameworks such as Apache JMeter
to automate performance testing, analyze results, and report issues.
● Define performance testing strategies, establish benchmarks, publish performance
metrics, and validate performance-related requirements.
● Prepare and present performance benchmarks, best practices, test results,
comparisons, and detailed analysis to stakeholders and engineering teams.
● Analyze performance test results to identify bottlenecks, root causes, and opportunities
for system optimization.
● Provide day-to-day technical guidance and hands-on support to other engineers on
performance testing practices and tools.
● Collaborate with development, DevOps, and engineering teams to improve system
scalability, reliability, and overall performance.
● Integrate automated performance and resiliency tests into CI/CD pipelines and
development workflows.

Required Technical Skills
● Strong hands-on experience in Performance Testing and performance engineering.
● Proficiency in Apache JMeter or similar performance testing tools.
● Experience in workload modelling, load testing, stress testing, and scalability testing.
● Knowledge of Kubernetes and distributed system architectures.
● Experience with performance test automation and shift-left testing approaches.
● Ability to analyze performance metrics, identify bottlenecks, and recommend
optimizations.
● Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing integration.
● Strong analytical, troubleshooting, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Preferred Skills
● Experience with performance and resiliency testing in cloud-native environments.
● Familiarity with monitoring, logging, and observability tools.
● Knowledge of scripting languages such as Python, Java, or similar for test automation.
● Experience working with large-scale systems and complex test datasets.
● Understanding of microservices architecture and system reliability.

Candidate Requirements
● Experience: 4–7 years in Performance Testing / Performance Engineering.
● Location: Bangalore.
● Notice Period: Immediate joiners to candidates with a maximum of 15 days' notice.
● Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional
