Who We Are

Ontic provides software that helps corporate and government security teams identify threats, assess risk, and respond faster to keep people and organizations safe. Its Connected Intelligence Platform unifies security operations and data into a centralized system of record, enabling organizations to conduct risk assessments, protect against workplace violence, and manage threats and incidents more efficiently. Fortune 500 companies and federal agencies rely on Ontic to support security programs such as executive protection, threat intelligence, and corporate investigations.



Key Responsibilities

Strong understanding of performance testing tools such as

JMeter, LoadRunner, and Gatling

. Convert

NFRs/SLOs

into measurable test objectives (throughput, p95/p99 latency, error budgets). Build realistic workload models including

concurrency, think time, data mix, caching, spike/soak patterns, and canary strategies

. Define

environment parity

and test data strategies to ensure credible results. Design

scalable JMeter scripts

with correlation, parameterization, data feeders, and custom logic (JSR223). Execute

load, stress, spike, endurance/soak, capacity, and baseline tests

across services and UI/API layers. Create

reusable components/utilities

to speed up authoring and reduce maintenance effort. Integrate performance suites into

CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins/GitHub Actions)

with automated thresholds and budgets. Establish

performance release gates

(pass/fail criteria, canary checks, rollback triggers) and lead go/no-go decisions. Publish and maintain the

performance release checklist

(warm-up, ramp-up, data hygiene, isolation, noise control). Leverage

APM/observability tools

(Grafana, Prometheus, Datadog, New Relic, Dynatrace, CloudWatch) to correlate metrics with test KPIs. Perform

bottleneck analysis

(CPU, GC, threads, DB query plans, caches, Kafka/queues, downstream dependencies). Produce

clear performance reports

with trends, variance against budgets, and actionable tuning recommendations. Validate

environment configurations

(instance types, autoscaling, TLS, caches) and eliminate client-side bottlenecks. Enforce

warm-ups, steady-state validation, and repeatability

, flagging any noise sources. Maintain

baselines and flakiness detection

for performance test results.

Lead/mentor

a small team when required (code reviews, coaching, establishing standards). Collaborate with

Dev, DevOps, DBA, and SRE teams

on triage, tuning, and verifying fixes. Drive

post-release performance verification

(canary checks, observability reviews) and participate in incident retrospectives.

Must-Have Qualifications

7-10 years

of experience in performance engineering for web services and distributed systems. Strong,

hands-on JMeter expertise

(advanced correlation, JSR223 scripting, custom functions, backends/listeners). Solid knowledge of

HTTP/REST, TLS, concurrency, caching, connection pooling, and asynchronous patterns

. Proven experience integrating performance tests into

CI/CD

and enforcing

SLO/threshold-based gates

. Skilled with

APM/observability tools

and infra/DB analysis (GC, heap, thread dumps, slow queries). Scripting experience in

Java, Groovy, or Python

for utilities, data generation, and JMeter extensions. Strong communication skills with the ability to

translate data into insights and influence release outcomes

.

Nice-to-Have Skills

Exposure to

cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure)

and container environments (

Docker, Kubernetes

). Experience with

protocols

(gRPC, WebSocket) and

Kafka throughput/latency testing

. Strong understanding of

DB performance

(indexing, query plans, connection limits across MySQL/Postgres/NoSQL). Awareness of

security-performance interplay

(ciphers, WAF/CDN) and

edge/CDN caching strategies

. Experience with

service virtualization

and

synthetic data platforms

.

End-to-End Performance Release Ownership


You will:

Define and enforce

performance budgets

through CI gates. Run

canary performance checks

and validate stability with live metrics before full rollout. Document

go/no-go decisions

with supporting evidence (APM dashboards, logs, charts).
