SDET

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, execute, and maintain performance test plans, scripts, and scenarios.
• Build and maintain automated performance testing solutions using NeoLoad or similar platforms.
• Analyze performance test results to identify system bottlenecks and optimization opportunities.
• Utilize monitoring and observability tools such as Azure Application Insights to evaluate system performance.
• Define performance baselines and Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
• Identify and document system dependencies to ensure comprehensive performance test coverage.
• Implement service virtualization and mocking strategies to isolate dependencies.
• Support the stabilization, maintenance, and scalability of performance testing environments.
• Partner with development, QA, DevOps, and architecture teams to integrate performance testing early in the SDLC.
• Coordinate and support performance testing efforts across multiple concurrent initiatives.
• Review performance test plans, scripts, and results to ensure adherence to established standards and best practices.
• Communicate performance testing results, trends, risks, and recommendations to technical teams, stakeholders, and leadership.
• Document, track, and report performance-related defects while collaborating with cross-functional teams.
• Analyze and optimize application performance across distributed microservices architectures, containerized platforms, and cloud-native environments.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and quality improvement.
• Contribute to the ongoing enhancement of performance testing strategies, frameworks, automation, and engineering standards.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
