Job Description
About the job
Position: Performance Test Engineer
Experience: 7+ years
Location: Okemos, MI (Hybrid – 3 days a week)
Job Type: Contract (Long Term)
Role Overview
We are looking for an experienced Performance Test Engineer / Performance Engineering Lead with strong expertise in performance testing, monitoring, capacity planning, and cloud-native application performance optimization. The ideal candidate will be responsible for designing and executing end-to-end performance testing strategies, identifying bottlenecks, and ensuring application scalability, reliability, and resilience under varying load conditions.
This role requires hands-on experience with JMeter, Dynatrace, Kubernetes, Jenkins, Bitbucket, SQL, Linux, and a strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, performance engineering best practices, and modern distributed systems.
Job Responsibilities:
Design and lead comprehensive performance testing strategies to validate system behavior under load, stress, and peak conditions. Align these strategies with business requirements and project goals
Create, configure, and execute complex test scripts in JMeter to simulate real-world usage scenarios and workload patterns. Optimize and troubleshoot scripts to achieve accurate and reliable performance assessments
Utilize Dynatrace for continuous performance monitoring, tracking key application metrics (response time, throughput, resource utilization) and diagnosing issues in real-time to support proactive performance management
Integrate performance testing and monitoring tools within CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, ensuring that performance issues are identified and addressed early in the development lifecycle
Perform in-depth capacity planning analysis, determining optimal infrastructure requirements to handle projected workloads and recommending strategies for scaling applications in Kubernetes environments
Use Bitbucket for version control of test scripts, configurations, and related documentation, fostering effective collaboration and change tracking within performance engineering teams
Collaborate with development, DevOps, and operations teams to troubleshoot performance bottlenecks and recommend tuning or architectural changes to improve application performance and scalability
Deploy, monitor, and troubleshoot applications running in Kubernetes clusters, ensuring efficient use of resources, autoscaling configurations, and resilience under load
Generate detailed performance reports and dashboards that present test results, analysis, and insights for various stakeholders, including senior management and engineering teams
Conduct root cause analysis for complex performance issues, using Dynatrace and other diagnostics tools to trace issues to specific components, services, or resource configurations
Initiate proactive approach to advocate for performance engineering best practices, contributing to a culture of continuous improvement in performance testing and monitoring processes
Document test strategies, configurations, tuning recommendations, and lessons learned, ensuring continuity and knowledge sharing within the team. These responsibilities ensure a strong focus on performance optimization, scalability, and reliability in modern cloud-native environments, making use of advanced testing, monitoring, and automation capabilities
Actively participate in PI planning sessions to align performance goals and establish testing strategies and set realistic performance targets. Ensure all the dependencies are identified, documented and addressed
Minimum Qualifications:
Position requires a bachelor’s degree in computer science or engineering and seven years of experience in applications and systems performance testing, monitoring and evaluation and five years’ experience in application development
Will accept any suitable combination of education, training, or experience
Strong hands-on experience with JMeter for creating complex test scripts and scenarios
Proficiency with Dynatrace or similar APM tools for real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and root cause analysis
Ability to interpret performance data to identify trends, bottlenecks, and areas for optimization
Experience managing and optimizing performance in Kubernetes environments, autoscaling, and tuning applications for efficient use of cluster resources
Knowledge on versioning and CI/CD integration tools like Bitbucket and Jenkins for maintaining test suites
Advanced knowledge of DB/SQL/Linux and experienced working in agile work environment
Effective communication skills and ability to resolve complex problems and use independent judgment
