About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

As a Senior Software Engineer in Test, you will not just write tests; you will architect the automation framework and tools that validates a highly distributed, multi-cluster control plane.
You will own the test strategy for AWC—validating it both as an application installed via Taikun and as a platform that orchestrates other clusters.
You will define how we verify Zero-Trust security models, API-first contracts, and cross-cluster resource management.
Design and execute test plans validating the end-to-end cluster creation flow on a kubernetes platform.
Managing complex data modeling and schema drift, as well as embedding automated data quality checks and statistical anomaly detection directly into pipelines to shift away from reactive, manual quality processes.
Working with governance layers to ensure policies like tag-driven Attribute-Based Access Control (ABAC), column-level masking, row-level filters, and zero-code lineage ingestion (e.g., Octopai) are accurately enforced at the data layer.
