Senior JMeter Engineer

Work Location: Bangalore

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Performance Strategy: Designing comprehensive test plans that cover Load, Stress, Endurance, Spike, and Scalability testing.
• Advanced Scripting: Developing complex, reusable JMeter scripts using Thread Groups, Samplers, Logic Controllers, and Assertions. Expertise in correlation and parameterization for dynamic data is mandatory.
• Bottleneck Analysis: Identifying performance issues related to CPU spikes, memory leaks (heap dump analysis), and database deadlocks.
• Monitoring & Observability: Integrating JMeter with monitoring tools like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, Prometheus, or Grafana to correlate load with system health.
• CI/CD Integration: Automating performance tests within pipelines using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, or Jenkins.
• Stakeholder Management: Communicating performance risks and technical debt to developers and project leads.

Required Technical Stack:

• Core Tool: Apache JMeter (and plugins like Custom Thread Groups).
• Languages: Java (for custom samplers), Groovy/Beanshell, and Python.
• Web Technologies: REST/SOAP APIs, Microservices, and WebSockets.
• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, or GCP experience (testing cloud-native apps).
• Databases: Proficiency in SQL for database performance validation.
