About the role
To design, develop and improve software, utilising various engineering methodologies, that provides business, platform, and technology capabilities for our customers and colleagues.
Responsibilities:
- Development and delivery of high-quality software solutions by using industry aligned programming languages, frameworks, and tools. Ensuring that code is scalable, maintainable, and optimized for performance.
- Cross-functional collaboration with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define software requirements, devise solution strategies, and ensure seamless integration and alignment with business objectives.
- Collaboration with peers, participate in code reviews, and promote a culture of code quality and knowledge sharing.
- Stay informed of industry technology trends and innovations and actively contribute to the organization’s technology communities to foster a culture of technical excellence and growth.
- Adherence to secure coding practices to mitigate vulnerabilities, protect sensitive data, and ensure secure software solutions.
- Implementation of effective unit testing practices to ensure proper code design, readability, and reliability.
Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience in API performance testing using tools such as JMeter / LoadRunner / Gatling, with ability to simulate realistic traffic patterns and workloads.
- Solid understanding of test strategy, workload modelling, test data setup, and performance metrics (throughput, latency, response time, error rate).
- Experience in analysing performance test results, identifying bottlenecks (application, DB, infrastructure), and providing actionable insights to engineering teams.
- Working knowledge of monitoring and observability tools (e.g., Splunk, Dynatrace, AppDynamics, Grafana) for root cause analysis.
- Good understanding of banking/payment systems or distributed microservices architectures.
- Strong collaboration skills to work with Dev, DevOps, and QE teams to drive performance improvement and resolution.
- Strong experience in Performance & Volume Testing (VPT), including design, execution, and analysis of load, stress, and endurance testing scenarios.
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and integrating performance tests in automated pipelines (e.g., GitLab, Jenkins).
- Knowledge of cloud-based performance testing (AWS/Azure) and scalability testing.
- Experience in designing end-to-end performance test strategies for customer journeys (UI + API layers).
- Understanding of resilience testing, chaos testing, and failover validation.
- Basic scripting skills (Java/Python) for custom test development and data preparation.
- Familiarity with non-functional test governance, reporting dashboards, and stakeholder communication (SteerCo, impact reports).
- Experience in Business Banking or Payments domain (e.g., FPS, RPS, Bill Payments, APIs).
- You may be assessed on key critical skills relevant for success in role, such as risk and controls, change and transformation, business acumen, strategic thinking and digital and technology, as well as job-specific technical skills.
- The role is based out of Pune.
