Job Purpose
Working within the Quality Engineering (QE) team, the Lead Performance Engineer (LPE) is responsible for ensuring the performance, availability, scalability and reliability of a suite of products. The LPE collaborates with multiple stakeholders to develop a fit for purpose performance engineering and testing strategy that covers all aspects of the product, including cross program dependencies. The LPE drives a performance-driven culture and enables the development community to test earlier and test faster, thereby enabling faster time to market and built-in quality
Job Outline:
- Participate in all phases of the Performance Engineering lifecycle ?Requirement Gathering, Design, Development, Scripting, Execution, Analysis, Troubleshooting, Tuning, Reporting
- Collaborate with Architecture, Solution Design and Development teams to design for Performance.
- Understand Non Functional Requirements and translate them into specific Design and Testing goals. Effectively capture and build a strategy to validate NFRs - Test Plan and test Strategy
- Understand applications, including the underlying architecture and technology stack, to recommend appropriate strategies and ensure the system performance is within defined SLAs
- Establish a Performance Testing Framework for Component Tests and E2E Tests
-
- Evaluate Cross Program Dependencies and conduct a thorough impact analysis that needs to be incorporated in the performance testing strategy
- Evaluate testability of Features/Solution. Work with architecture and design to build testability into the architecture
- Ensure NFRs are defined for Features and Components, and ensuring every sprint team has a NFRs in their backlog.
- Work with Site Reliabilities Engineers to resolve, diagnose and identify tuning opportunities.
- Collaborate with the Architects and Product Owners to define the Workload models for the application and update/refine the workload model.
