Job summary

Qumulo’s cloud data platform is seeking a Systems Resilience Engineer to break features before customers do. You will design tests for new features, automate them with Python, and build a data-driven plan to operate and schedule tests across cloud and on-prem environments.

You’ll troubleshoot failures, read logs to distinguish bugs from infrastructure issues, and help set the quality bar for releases while participating in on-call rotations.

Qualifications

• 3+ years building and operating automated testing, validation, and/or certification for complex software systems.
• Strong programming ability in C. Experience with distributed file systems or parallel filesystems is a plus.
• Hands-on experience across on-premises infrastructure and cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Fluent in Linux (Ubuntu) and Python; data-driven tester with a breaker instinct.

Responsibilities

• Design and operationalize testing for new features, including scale testing and edge-case exploration.
• Automate manual tests using Python and our Jenkins/Argo framework.
• Build a data-driven plan for which tests run, how often, and why; schedule and rerun tests.
• Troubleshoot build and test failures across VM instances and hardware; distinguish tests vs. infra issues.
• Read cluster output and logs to identify real bugs; set up monitoring and alerting (OpenMetrics, Grafana, InfluxDB).
• Contribute to setting the quality bar for releases and participate in on-call rotations.
