About the Role

As a Senior SDET focused on Infrastructure & DevOps, you will design and execute tests for AWS-based environments, IaC templates, and secure CI/CD pipelines. You’ll partner closely with DevOps engineers, security teams, and compliance stakeholders to validate infrastructure automation, container hardening, and audit-readiness. This is a hands-on role where you will bring engineering discipline to testing the foundation of Keeper’s cloud services.

• Automate DevOps test cases for infrastructure validation using Terraform, Terratest, or similar frameworks
• Build test automation pipelines that validate IaC changes within CI/CD workflows
• Ensure Keeper products (e.g., PAM, KSM, Commander) work as expected when underlying infrastructure is modified
• Design and execute test plans for secure networking, access controls, and infra hardening (STIG, CIS benchmarks)
• Collaborate with DevOps engineers to debug infra issues and validate fixes
• Contribute to internal tooling and frameworks for infra and product validation

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience as an SDET, QA Engineer, or DevOps-focused Test Engineer
• Strong expertise in AWS infrastructure and networking concepts, including VPCs, subnets, NAT gateways, security groups, routing, and IAM
• Proven experience validating Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) with frameworks such as Terraform, Ansible, or CloudFormation
• Proficiency in scripting automated tests (Python, Bash, or Go)
• Familiarity with compliance standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and FedRAMP High, including validation and evidence collection
• Ability to test across diverse environments, including web apps, mobile apps, and command line utilities, to ensure product functionality on top of infrastructure changes
• Hands-on experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Ability to troubleshoot and validate logs and metrics in a SIEM platform (e.g., DataDog)
• Strong ability to produce reproducible defect reports and manage them in Jira

Qualifications

• Experience validating regulated cloud environments (DoD, FedRAMP, IL5)
• Exposure to vulnerability scanning, compliance drift detection, or SIEM integrations
• Familiarity with automated infrastructure test frameworks (e.g., Terratest, pytest for Terraform
• Understanding of STIGs, CIS benchmarks, or other hardening standards for cloud infra and containers

Benefits
