Why N-able

At N-able, we’re not just helping businesses be secure -we’re redefining what it means to be cyber resilient. Our end-to-end platform blends AI-powered capabilities and flexible tech stacks, so customers can manage, secure, and recover with confidence. But the real power behind it all? Our people. We’re a global crew of N-ablites, who love solving complex problems, sharing knowledge, and delivering solutions that actually make a difference. If you're into meaningful work, fast growth, and a team that’s got your back, you’ll be surrounded by people who believe in what they do—and in you.

What You’ll Do

• Own suite architecture for your team's surface - structure, tagging conventions, and how tests get registered into the pipeline
• Build and extend automated test suites in Robot Framework across N-central's platform, identity and data services
• Verify complex, distributed behaviour: token issuance and renewal, single sign-on and Entra ID provisioning flows, agent and probe registration, event pipelines and analytics exports
• Set the standard for CI health across multiple pipelines, and drive flake down to build confidence in developers about the value of test suites
• Define what automated coverage should include, and document where coverage is deliberately excluded and why
• Build and maintain the test data and environments your suites depend on
• Work with developers to ensure features are testable and tested before merging code
• Mentor test engineers and review their suite designs

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years in test automation for distributed systems
• A track record of setting quality standards others follow, and mentoring test engineers
• Strong Robot Framework skills, or deep automation experience in another framework and the appetite to pick it up quickly
• Confidence debugging failures across service boundaries - logs, APIs, message queues, databases
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and parallel test execution
• Working knowledge of REST and SOAP API testing
• Python or Groovy for tooling and test utilities
• Demonstrated use of Spec-Driven Development (SDD) and AI-assisted development lifecycle (AI-DLC) practices, or a directly equivalent methodology
• Experience with SSRS, ETL or data-warehouse validation is beneficial
