Key Responsibilities
Design and execute end-to-end performance engineering strategies for web, API, database, cloud, and distributed systems.
Build and maintain performance test frameworks for load, stress, spike, endurance, and scalability testing.
Use AI-enabled tools and methods to improve:
test scenario generation
workload modeling
synthetic data generation
test script creation and maintenance
anomaly detection
bottleneck identification
root cause analysis
predictive capacity planning
Partner with development, QA, SRE, DevOps, product, and architecture teams to define performance requirements and non-functional acceptance criteria.
Analyze application, infrastructure, database, and network behavior under load and provide actionable optimization recommendations.
Integrate performance testing into CI/CD pipelines and support shift-left performance practices.
Leverage observability platforms and AI-assisted analytics to correlate logs, metrics, traces, and events.
Establish performance baselines, SLAs, SLOs, and KPIs for critical systems.
Drive continuous improvement in performance engineering processes, tooling, governance, and automation.
Mentor team members on both classical performance engineering techniques and emerging AI-assisted engineering practices.
