QA Engineer III (Performance Engineer) - Remote

Overview

The QA Engineer III (in Performance Engineering) is an integral part of the Performance Engineering centralized team working in a dynamic fast paced, agile environment and improving application performance and resolving performance issues across the enterprise. S/he should have specialist level skills with performance engineering and tuning as well as performance testing i.e. writing LoadRunner and JMeter scripts for web-based applications as well as (SOAP/RESTful) services. He should be able to jump onto any performance engineering projects upon joining. The performance engineer will be responsible to identify system bottle necks by testing, code review, analyzing server logs, dump analysis, also fixing performance issues at code, infrastructure, design, configuration levels, improving performance by benchmarking to ensure system reliability, capacity and scalability.
