Principal Performance QA Engineer

Req ID:  56535
Location: 

Bangalore, IN

Sapiens is on the lookout for a Performance engineer to become a key player in our Bangalore team. If you're a Performance tester and ready to take your career to new heights with an established, globally successful company, this role could be the perfect fit.

Location: Bangalore

Working Model: Our flexible work arrangement combines both remote and in-office work, optimizing flexibility and productivity.

This position will be part of Sapiens’ P&C division, for more information about it, click here: https://sapiens.com/solutions/reinsurance-administration-automation-software/

 

What you’ll do:

  • Define performance testing strategy for Sapiens applications.
  • Implement, execute, and maintain performance testing scenarios using different languages\tools.
  • Perform root cause analysis for performance issues at both, Lab and Customer’s deployments.
  • Identify performance-tuning opportunities and remediation options.
  • Collaborate closely with Dev and Service organization to communicate findings.
  • Produce performance summary reports and communicate with project stakeholders

 What to Have for this position.

  • Deep technical ownership mindset - able to investigate and resolve performance issues independently, without requiring escalation to architecture or development teams.
  • Strong Oracle database skills: able to read and act on AWR reports, analyze top SQL queries, manage indexes, disable/enable FK constraints, and apply table/index compression.
  • Proficient in data preparation for batch testing: masking scripts, data exclusion, SIT-to-performance environment cloning, volume scaling.
  • Excellent analytical and root cause analysis skills - able to trace batch slowness to specific SQL queries, locking contention, I/O saturation, or application-layer issues.
  • Capable of architecting the performance test strategy for batch-heavy systems: defining KPIs, thresholds, batch cycle windows, and concurrency models.
  • Strong scripting ability (SQL, Shell, Python, or Java) to automate test data setup and environment preparation.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English - able to produce executive-level performance reports and lead technical review sessions.
  • Highly organized and self-driven, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent batch test cycles across different project phases.
  • Proactive in identifying risks and proposing mitigation strategies before they impact delivery.
  • Quick learner - able to ramp up on Sapiens RI/SRM domain processes (Billing, RI Processing, GL Export, Renewals) independently.

 

Must have Skills

  • BSc in computer science or equivalent
  • 4+ years’ experience as a performance engineer
  • Good hands-on experience with JMeter or similar Performance testing tool
  • Experience with designing different types of performance strategies
  • Proven experience with DBs querying
  • Experience with Batch and Web Services Performance testing
  • Experience with AppDynamics/ Dynatrace or similar APM tools – Advantage
  • Experience with profiling tools like Your Kit or similar profiling tools – Advantage
  • Experience with Java programming language – Advantage
  • Experience with Linux/Unix platforms including monitoring – Advantage.
  • Experience in the Insurance industry – Advantage
  • Ability to travel according to demand (Approx. 15% of the time)

AI Tools & Skills

Sapiens requires all engineers in this role to actively use AI tools (such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or equivalent) as productivity accelerators throughout the performance engineering lifecycle. The following are the expected areas of AI-assisted work:

  • AWR/ASH Report Interpretation – Use AI tools to interpret Oracle AWR and ASH reports, identify top SQL consumers, and receive tuning recommendations for batch jobs such as Billing Batch, RI Process Coordinator, and GL Export.
  • Proactive Batch Monitoring – Use AI-enhanced APM tools (e.g., Dynatrace AI/Davis engine) to proactively detect batch performance anomalies, resource saturation, and regression patterns before they are escalated — shifting from reactive to predictive performance monitoring.
  • SQL Query Tuning & Script Generation – Use AI to analyze slow SQL queries, suggest index strategies, generate FK disable/enable scripts, and draft Oracle compression estimation scripts, reducing manual effort on repetitive DB tasks.
  • Test Script Generation & Coverage – Use AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude) to generate and review performance test scripts for batch jobs, accelerate scripting of new test scenarios, and improve test coverage through intelligent test case suggestion.
  • Test Data Preparation – Use AI to generate data masking scripts, data exclusion queries, and environment-cloning runbooks for migrated datasets, ensuring clean batch testing starting points without corrupted or cut-off records.
  • Performance Test Strategy & Planning – Use AI to draft performance test plans, define KPI thresholds for batch windows, generate test scenario structures, and review test coverage for completeness before presenting to stakeholders.
  • Root Cause Analysis Support – Use AI to correlate batch execution logs, SQL wait events, and monitoring metrics, accelerating root cause identification for issues such as locking contention, I/O saturation, or application-layer bottlenecks.
  • Predictive Analytics & Capacity Planning – Apply AI-driven predictive analytics to forecast batch processing trends, identify gradual performance degradation across releases, and support capacity planning decisions based on historical test data — enabling proactive infrastructure sizing before go-live.
  • Performance Report Generation – Use AI to draft executive-level performance cycle reports, summarize batch execution results, produce before/after comparison narratives, and create structured stakeholder-facing summaries aligned with Sapiens reporting standards.
  • Defect Writing & Documentation – Use AI to compose high-quality defect descriptions with clear steps to reproduce, supporting data, and root cause hypotheses; generate runbooks and knowledge-base articles for recurring batch issues.
  • Domain Ramp-Up – Use AI to quickly understand RI/SRM business processes (Reinsurance cycles, GL reconciliation, billing workflows) by querying AI tools for explanations, reducing the onboarding time required to become effective in the insurance back-office domain.
  • Architecture Review Assistance – Use AI to review sizing documents, environment proposals, and batch architecture diagrams, identifying potential performance risks and generating structured technical review questions before meetings with architects and developers.

 

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Capable of working independently, highly motivated, and organized.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Proven ability to drill down into Performance results and complete deep-dive root cause analysis.
  • Good verbal and written communication skills in English
  • Ability to learn new tools & technologies quickly.
  • Proactive and initiative approach
  • Ability to multi-task and juggle between several projects
