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. Job Location: Client Site
