Job description

What is the Opportunity?

Senior engineer specializing in Non-Functional Testing (NFT) with focus on performance, resilience, and chaos engineering. Leverages AI/ML and automation to build intelligent testing agents that enable shift-left resilience validation and autonomous failure scenario generation within CI/CD pipelines

What will you do?

• Design and execute comprehensive NFT strategies across performance and resilience domains
• Build and maintain automated NFT frameworks with AI-powered capabilities
• Conduct chaos engineering experiments including latency injection, bandwidth throttling, and failover/DR testing
• Define, monitor, and optimize SLAs, SLOs, and SLIs for system reliability
• Produce detailed test reports with root-cause analysis and actionable insights
• Collaborate with development teams to embed NFT practices early in the SDLC
• Design and build AI-powered agents that automate fault injection and resilience validation directly in developer workflows
• Develop intelligent systems that autonomously identify critical failure paths and recommend chaos experiments based on architecture changes
• Leverage LLMs and generative AI to auto-generate chaos test scenarios from architecture diagrams, runbooks, and incident history
• Implement real-time resilience scoring mechanisms before code reaches production
