Job Summary :
We are seeking a highly skilled and detail-oriented Performance Engineer / Tester with experience in Oil & Gas Drilling applications to join our engineering team. This role focuses on ensuring the performance, scalability, and reliability of critical real-time and data-intensive software systems used in drilling operations.
You will work closely with developers, domain experts, and product managers to simulate real-world usage, design performance test strategies, identify bottlenecks, and help optimize application performance under various load conditions.
Key Responsibilities :
- Develop, execute, and maintain performance test plans, scripts, and scenarios for drilling applications.
- Analyze system behavior under stress, load, and endurance conditions to identify performance bottlenecks and work with development teams for resolution.
- Use tools such as LoadRunner, JMeter, or custom scripts to simulate operational environments typical in drilling operations.
- Collaborate with software architects, developers, and DevOps to optimize throughput, latency, and resource utilization.
- Monitor key performance indicators (CPU, memory, I / O, network) during test executions using tools like New Relic and correlate results with backend logs and telemetry data.
- Create performance benchmark baselines and contribute to SLAs definition for system responsiveness and throughput.
- Support CI / CD pipelines by integrating performance testing into automated workflows (e.g., Jenkins, Azure DevOps).
- Participate in code and architecture reviews to assess and improve system scalability and resiliency.
- Generate detailed test reports and provide actionable recommendations to stakeholders.
Required Qualifications :
Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field.3+ years of experience in performance engineering or testing in enterprise or industrial software.Familiarity with oil and gas drilling workflows, real-time data protocols.Proficient in scripting languages (e.g., Python, PowerShell, Bash) for test automation.Experience with monitoring tools like New Relic, Dynatrace.Solid understanding of network latency, threading / concurrency, memory profiling, and database performance (SQL / NoSQL).Strong problem-solving skills and ability to interpret performance metrics into actionable insights.Preferred Qualifications :
Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or private data centers supporting oilfield operations.ISTQB or other performance testing certifications.Soft Skills :
Strong communication and documentation skills.Ability to work independently and in a fast-paced, agile team environment.Comfortable interacting with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.(ref : hirist.tech)
