• Skilled in analyzing and interpreting performance test results to identify bottlenecks, memory leaks, and scalability issues.
• Experience monitoring system metrics (CPU, memory, network, database) during load tests to correlate infrastructure performance with application behavior.
• Knowledge of performance tuning strategies across applications, databases, and infrastructure layers.
• Strong understanding of performance engineering concepts such as capacity planning, scalability, and reliability testing.
• Experience preparing detailed performance test reports and dashboards for technical and executive audiences.
• Ability to collaborate with developers, architects, and operations teams to troubleshoot and resolve performance issues.

Nice to have:

• Experience with other performance testing tools (e.g., Gatling, Locust, LoadRunner).
• Knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, New Relic, Dynatrace).
• Exposure to cloud environments (Azure, AWS) and their performance testing considerations.
• Scripting/programming skills (Groovy, Python) for test automation.
• Familiarity with CI/CD integration for automated performance testing (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps).
