About the role

Increase deployment confidence and velocity by embedding automation and quality signals into everyday engineering work.
Improve reliability of low-latency, distributed services running in Kubernetes by catching regressions early and validating failure modes.
Eliminate “QA phases” by building rapid, team-embedded validation that runs continuously in CI/CD.
Establish clear quality metrics across our microservice catalog so teams can see, own, and improve service health over time.
Build and maintain automation (unit/integration/e2e) that enables continuous deployment with high confidence.
Create test harnesses and frameworks to accelerate critical-path, upgrade, and failure-mode testing across microservices.
Validate installation and upgrade workflows for Kubernetes deployments (Helm, manifests, customer-like configuration).
Run environment and compatibility testing across cloud and customer setups (AWS/Azure, networking/storage/security variability).
Track, publish, and operationalize quality metrics (coverage, flake rate, defect escapes, regression trends) for each service.
Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Security—communicate early, document risks, and seek alignment on release readiness.
Use AI-assisted tools to accelerate test development, triage, and analysis while applying strong engineering judgment.

Experience shipping automation-first quality practices that support safe continuous deployment.
Strong experience testing microservices / distributed systems, including integration points and failure scenarios.
Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads (Docker, Helm-based deployments).
Familiarity with AWS or Azure environments and cloud-native debugging.
Ability to contribute in at least one of: TypeScript/React, Go, or Python (to build/extend test tools and frameworks).
Experience working in Agile delivery environments (iterative planning, continuous improvement).
Strong communication skills; you proactively align stakeholders and surface tradeoffs.
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action—you move forward while clarifying what needs to be figured out.
