You will collaborate with software engineers and cross-functional teams to improve integration testing, deployment safety, and platform reliability. This opportunity is ideal for an engineer who enjoys troubleshooting complex technical challenges and developing scalable solutions in a fast-paced environment. You will contribute to continuous innovation in cloud infrastructure while expanding your expertise in automation, virtualization, and performance engineering.

Accountabilities

• Test Automation and Framework Development: Develop, implement, and maintain automated testing frameworks for code changes, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, using Python and Pytest.
• Test Strategy and Quality Assurance: Define test plans, create comprehensive test cases for microservices, and ensure appropriate coverage of functional requirements, edge cases, and platform reliability scenarios.
• Deployment and Troubleshooting: Investigate deployment-related issues across different environments, identify root causes, recommend corrective actions, and support reliable software releases.
• Continuous Integration and Delivery: Automate testing, deployment, and validation throughout the software development lifecycle, integrating quality gates into CI/CD pipelines.
• Deployment Safety and Rollback: Evaluate safe deployment and rollback strategies, validate operational requirements, and ensure deployment procedures meet reliability and correctness standards.
• Infrastructure and Platform Testing: Collaborate with engineering teams on integration testing, improve testing environments, and validate platform behavior across different system architectures.
• Scripting and Process Improvement: Write and maintain scripts that automate platform service deployments, streamline repetitive tasks, and improve engineering efficiency.
• Performance and Reliability: Apply Linux troubleshooting and performance-tuning techniques to investigate system behavior and help maintain scalable, dependable virtualized infrastructure.

Requirements

• Professional Experience: At least 2 years of relevant experience in software development, test automation, quality engineering, or a related technical field.
• Education: A bachelor's degree in Computer Science or an equivalent qualification.
• Python and Testing: Practical knowledge of Python and Pytest, with a solid understanding of modern software testing methodologies and automated testing practices.
• Programming and Debugging: Familiarity with Perl and Go (Golang), along with the ability to debug code, investigate technical issues, and identify root causes.
• Linux Expertise: Strong Linux fundamentals, particularly performance tuning, system troubleshooting, Bash, and scripting.
• Operating Systems and Packaging: Understanding of Debian packaging, the APT package manager, dependency management, and software installation workflows.
• Computer Architecture: Knowledge of x86 and ARM architectures and an understanding of their key differences.
• Virtualization and Containers: Familiarity with virtualization and containerization technologies and their role in modern cloud infrastructure.
• Automation and CI/CD Tools: Experience with automation tools and frameworks such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and SaltStack.
• Analytical and Collaborative Skills: Strong problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, clear communication, and the ability to collaborate with engineering teams to improve testing and deployment practices.
• Adaptability and Ownership: A proactive approach to investigating complex technical challenges, learning new technologies, and contributing to continuous improvement in a dynamic engineering environment.
