Our subsidiary (Adree)is seeking a highly skilled Performance Test, Senior Engineer to lead performance testing initiatives across enterprise applications. This role requires hands-on experience in performance engineering, workload modeling, and test automation to deliver high-performing and scalable solutions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and maintain the performance test strategy, roadmap, standards, templates, entry/exit criteria, and performance quality gates.
- Analyze business volumes, usage patterns, architecture, service-level objectives, and nonfunctional requirements to create realistic workload models.
- Plan and execute load, stress, endurance/soak, scalability, capacity, spike, and volume tests for web, mobile back ends, APIs, integrations, and digital services.
- Design, develop, review, and maintain performance-test scripts, scenarios, parameterization, correlation, data preparation, and reusable components.
- Define test-environment, monitoring, data, access, and service-virtualization requirements; coordinate readiness with DevOps and infrastructure teams.
- Correlate client, server, database, network, container, and application-monitoring data to identify bottlenecks and isolate root causes.
- Evaluate response time, throughput, concurrency, error rate, resource utilization, capacity, and SLA compliance; translate results into clear technical recommendations.
- Integrate performance tests and thresholds into delivery pipelines and establish repeatable baseline and trend reporting.
- Lead defect triage and performance tuning discussions with developers, architects, DBAs, SRE, infrastructure, network, and security teams.
- Produce test plans, daily/periodic status updates, executive summaries, detailed reports, risks, and release recommendations.
- Estimate effort, plan assignments, review deliverables, mentor team members, and ensure traceability and audit-ready evidence.
- Deliver knowledge-transfer sessions and practical coaching on performance testing and the implemented operating model.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology, or a related discipline.
- 8+ years of software testing experience, including at least 4 years of hands-on performance testing/engineering and prior technical or team leadership experience.
- Advanced practical experience in performance-test scripting, scenario design, correlation, parameterization, execution control, analysis, and diagnostics.
- Strong understanding of HTTP/HTTPS, REST/SOAP APIs, web services, authentication, distributed systems, databases, networks, and common performance bottlenecks.
- Proven ability to derive workload models from production or forecast data and define measurable non-functional acceptance criteria.
- Experience integrating performance tests with continuous-delivery pipelines and source control.
- Strong analytical, troubleshooting, stakeholder-management, documentation, and presentation skills.
- Professional English communication; Arabic is an advantage.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with enterprise test management, service virtualization, container-platform monitoring, observability, and enterprise API gateways.
- Experience with mobile back-end performance, cloud/container platforms, resilience/failure testing, and performance-capacity planning.
- Relevant certifications in performance testing, software testing, Agile, or DevOps.
- Experience in government, regulated, or large-scale digital-service environments.
