Performance Test, Senior Engineer
Role overview
Our subsidiary, Adree, is seeking a highly skilled Senior Performance Test 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.
