Description The Digital Delivery team is responsible for engineering and supporting modern web and mobile applications through the development of user interfaces, microservices, and scalable solutions across multiple devices and platforms. As a Performance Test Engineer, you will be responsible for executing end-to-end performance testing efforts while partnering with QA leads and leadership to support activities across multiple initiatives. This role requires strong hands-on performance engineering expertise, including designing, developing, and executing performance test strategies to validate system scalability, reliability, and stability. In addition, you will support senior leads and QA leadership in advancing performance testing processes, identifying risks and bottlenecks, analyzing test results, and driving performance improvement recommendations.

Responsibilities:

- Perform load, stress, endurance, and scalability testing to validate the production readiness of applications and infrastructure for stability and performance

- Design, develop, and execute performance test scripts and scenarios that accurately simulate realworld user behavior

- Build, maintain, and enhance automated performance testing solutions using tools such as NeoLoad or similar

- Analyze performance test results to identify bottlenecks, system constraints, and optimization opportunities

- Utilize monitoring and observability tools (AppInsights, Splunk, etc.) to assess system performance and troubleshoot issues

- Partner with cross-functional teams to integrate performance testing early in the SDLC.

- Define performance SLAs and establish baseline metrics using production insights to ensure realistic and measurable performance goals

- Identify, understand, and document system dependencies across services and applications for accurate test coverage and implement mocking strategies to isolate dependencies and enable stable, repeatable testing. - Support stabilization and management of performance testing environment, ensuring consistency, reliability, and scalability

- Support QA leads and leadership in planning, prioritization, and execution of performance testing activities

- Assist in coordinating performance testing efforts across multiple initiatives to ensure timely and high-quality delivery

- Provide mentorship and technical guidance to junior team members, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous improvement

- Review performance test scripts, test plans, and results to ensure alignment with standards and best practices

- Collect, analyze, and communicate performance testing results to leadership and/or stakeholders, providing actionable insights and recommendations
