  • Partner with database engineers to tune queries, indexes, and connection strategies for .NET / SQL workloads.
  • Technical Architecture & Documentation :

  • Create and maintain performance test plans, scenarios, scripts, and data models; define entry / exit criteria and SLAs.
  • Document performance benchmarks and trends; provide actionable insights for capacity planning and release readiness.
  • Author clear defect reports and engineering recommendations with reproducible steps and supporting metrics.
  • Environment & Tooling :

  • Leverage Azure (strong plus) for test environments, scaling, and monitoring; collaborate on infrastructure-as-code where applicable.
  • Utilize monitoring and log analysis tools (e.g., Splunk, ELK) to correlate performance metrics with system behavior and trace root causes.
  • Work closely with DevOps to maintain test harnesses, datasets, synthetic users, and environment parity across stages.
  • Collaboration & Continuous Improvement :

  • Embed performance testing into Agile / SAFe workflows (Definition of Ready / Done); participate in sprint ceremonies and release planning.
  • Recommend tools, frameworks, and standards for performance engineering; coach developers and QA on profiling and tuning best practices.
  • Compliance :

  • Ensure adherence to internal controls, audit requirements, and regulatory standards when testing, storing, and reporting performance data.

    Technical Expertise :

  • Strong hands-on experience with Apache JMeter (test plan design, parameterization, correlation, distributed testing, and reporting).
  • CI / CD : GitLab pipelines (YAML), test gating with pass / fail thresholds, artifact management, and integration with .NET builds.
  • .NET stack familiarity (C#, ASP.NET, Entity Framework / SQL Server); ability to collaborate on code-level and config tuning.
  • Experience testing both web applications and client-server applications across custom and COTS solutions.
  • Exposure to Microsoft Azure for environment provisioning, monitoring, and scaling (strong plus).
  • Financial Technology Systems : Some experience with client management, core banking, payments, financial reporting, loan management, or fraud / AML management solutions.
