• Develop and enhance automation for internal test servers and harnesses, contributing to feature expansion, integration, and ongoing improvements.
• Create, update, and troubleshoot Docker-based test infrastructure, including configuring Docker Swarm and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines via Azure DevOps and Azure VMs.
• Work with complex networking scenarios required for testing, including setup and troubleshooting (routing, HTTP, SSL, proxies, etc.).
• Collaborate with platform engineers to integrate and validate Agent features, occasionally requiring basic C++ knowledge to understand Agent implementation.
• Document processes, frameworks, and strategies for testing; share best practices and knowledge with fellow engineers.
• Actively contribute to Agile ceremonies: planning, estimation, reviews, retrospectives, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications

• Strong, hands-on experience with PowerShell and C#/.NET Core; developing tests using Pester is a plus.
• Practical experience in automated testing on Windows and Mac; familiarity with Linux environments is increasingly important.
• Proficiency with Docker; experience provisioning and managing test environments on Azure (Azure DevOps, Azure VMs).
• Solid understanding of networking technologies (routing, HTTP, SSL, proxies, troubleshooting).
• Experience with custom test harnesses, internal automation, or test server platforms.
• Some exposure to Linux administration and scripting; deeper skills are a plus.
• Basic understanding of C++ for integration and troubleshooting purposes.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and documentation skills; able to collaborate in a globally distributed team.
• Adaptable, self-driven, proactive in process improvement, and comfortable contributing to evolving systems.
