Senior Performance Test Architect

Bengaluru, INFull TimePosted Jun 1, 2026

We’re looking for a **hands-on Performance Test Architect** who can define strategy *and* actively build and execute.

 

This isn’t a pure oversight role — you’ll be designing performance frameworks, running tests, and working closely with engineering teams to solve real scalability challenges.

 

What you’ll do:

• Own and drive the performance testing strategy across distributed systems

• Design *and implement* scalable test frameworks (k6(preferred), JMeter, ...)

• Embed performance testing into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)

• Build observability using the Grafana stack (Grafana, Prometheus, Loki, Tempo)

• Analyse results, identify bottlenecks, and lead performance tuning efforts

• Define SLIs/SLOs and ensure systems meet reliability targets

 

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience as a Performance Architect who still codes and tests

• Strong background in cloud-native environments (Kubernetes, Docker)

• Solid scripting skills (JavaScript, Python, or Java)

• Deep understanding of system behaviour under load

• Experience with OpenTelemetry and modern observability practices
