Job Title: Performance Test Lead – IFS Cloud

Location: Remote

1. Duration: 12 Months

Key Responsibilities

1. Performance Test Strategy & Planning

Define and maintain the overall performance test strategy, scope, approach, schedule, entry/exit criteria, risks, dependencies, and quality gates.
Identify business-critical IFS Cloud Work Order transactions, workflows, integrations, and interfaces to be included in performance testing.
Define the appropriate test types, including baseline, load, peak-load, scalability, stress and endurance/soak testing, where applicable.
Ensure the performance test approach remains aligned with agreed SOW scope and manage potential scope changes through appropriate governance.

2. NFR & Workload Model Definition

Facilitate workshops with customer business and technical stakeholders to define measurable performance NFRs and acceptance criteria.
Translate business volumes and expected production usage patterns into realistic performance workload models.
Define concurrent users, transaction mix, transaction rates, think times, ramp-up/ramp-down patterns, test duration and peak/surge scenarios.
Establish response-time, throughput, scalability, stability and resource-utilization objectives for critical business transactions.

3. Performance Test Design & Tool Leadership

Provide technical leadership for performance testing using OpenText LoadRunner / Professional Performance Engineering.
Review and approve performance test scenarios, scripts, test data requirements, parameterization, correlation and workload configurations.
Guide the offshore engineer in script development, debugging, execution and maintenance.
Validate that scripts accurately represent agreed IFS business journeys and integration flows.
Evaluate API/service-level performance testing opportunities where complementary tools such as Grafana k6 may provide value for continuous performance engineering.

4. Test Execution & Environment Readiness

Coordinate performance environment, application, integration, monitoring and test-data readiness with customer technical teams.
Establish execution readiness checkpoints before major performance test cycles.
Lead baseline, load, peak-load, scalability and other agreed performance test executions.
Ensure tests are performed under controlled, repeatable, and production-representative conditions.
Coordinate timely resolution of environment, data, script, access and monitoring dependencies impacting execution.

5. Monitoring, Analysis & Bottleneck Identification

Correlate LoadRunner transaction results with IFS application, integration, database and infrastructure metrics, including CPU, memory, I/O and other relevant platform indicators.
Analyze response times, throughput, errors, resource utilization, scalability trends and system behavior under increasing load.
Lead performance bottleneck identification and preliminary root-cause analysis.
Coordinate triage sessions involving application, architecture, database, infrastructure, integration and other technical SMEs.
Recommend targeted remediation or optimization opportunities and validate improvements through retesting.

6. Stakeholder Management & Governance

Act as the primary onshore performance-testing interface for customer stakeholders.
Lead performance test planning, status, defect triage, risk review and results-analysis discussions.
Communicate performance risks, dependencies, blockers, assumptions and decisions clearly to technical and program leadership.
Coordinate effectively with the Offshore Performance Test Engineer to ensure continuity between onshore stakeholder engagement and offshore engineering execution.
Escalate critical performance risks and dependencies early to enable timely resolution.

7. Reporting & Production Readiness

Review and approve performance test execution reports and results.
Maintain clear traceability between NFRs, workloads, test scenarios, execution results and identified defects/risks.
Prepare executive-level performance summaries covering test outcomes, bottlenecks, risks, recommendations and outstanding concerns.
Lead final NFR validation and performance test closure.
Provide evidence-based release-readiness and Go/No-Go recommendations to help minimize production performance risk.

Required Technical Skills

8+ years of experience in performance testing/performance engineering, with significant experience leading enterprise performance test engagements.
Strong hands-on expertise with OpenText LoadRunner / Professional Performance Engineering, including VuGen scripting, Controller/scenario design and Analysis.
Strong understanding of workload modelling, concurrency, throughput, transaction response times, percentile analysis and performance SLA/NFR validation.
Experience with enterprise ERP/cloud applications, preferably IFS Cloud, IFS Applications, SAP, Oracle ERP, ServiceNow or comparable platforms.
Experience testing HTTP/HTTPS, REST APIs, web services and enterprise integrations.
Good understanding of database, middleware, application-server and infrastructure performance concepts.
Experience analyzing CPU, memory, disk/I/O, database, application and integration monitoring metrics.
Experience with performance bottleneck analysis, defect triage and root-cause-analysis techniques.
Exposure to Grafana, k6, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Azure Monitor, Splunk or equivalent observability/APM platforms is desirable.
Experience integrating performance testing into CI/CD pipelines is desirable.

Leadership & Customer-Facing Skills

Strong customer-facing communication and stakeholder-management capability.
Ability to translate business requirements and production usage patterns into measurable performance engineering objectives.
Ability to facilitate NFR, workload-modelling and technical-analysis workshops with business and technology stakeholders.
Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with the ability to interpret performance results across multiple technology layers.
Ability to lead geographically distributed onshore/offshore teams.
Strong documentation, presentation and executive-level reporting capability.
Ability to clearly articulate technical performance risks and translate them into business/release impact.
