About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Perform SDET (software development engineer in test) + Automation duties to test (and build out) a robust, scalable, and highly available ecosystem within AWS EKS.
Work within a microservice orientated architecture to exercise API level services and integrated end user flow.
Develop, write, and maintain functional test automation frameworks with the use of Java + BDD (behavior driven development) using Gherkin.
Write and maintain API based testing using Apache JMeter with embedded coding through Java, Groovy, and Python.
Conduct performance tests to identify and remediate bottlenecks and deficiencies across a distributed and highly available service architecture.
Work alongside other test automation engineers to effectively strategize and implement capabilities that will improve our overall quality and automation practices across the organization.
Collaborate in a joint effort with global and overseas counterparts to acquire and/or author product automation code.
Work closely with the Cloud Platform Engineering Team to analyze and effectively scale the underlying infrastructure through the use of AWS Cloud implementations (ASGs - autoscaling groups, HPAs - horizontal pod autoscaling, EC2 node types, etc).
As a part of testing, work with and analyze the logging and visualization capabilities through an ELK-like stack (FluentD, Opensearch, Kibana).
Operate in unison with Deployment Automation engineers to functionally test the validity of environments and their underlying services.
Other testing involves performance, high availability, destructive testing to instrument and create a highly redundant, fault tolerant, distributed service architecture scaled to customers' SLAs.
Assist SRE Operations with the triaging, diagnosing, and troubleshooting of both internal and customer facing issues, as they arise.
Adhere to a “release train” cadence of testing (and deploying) platform-based releases and the respective services. This is managed with an emphasis in test automation while working in conjunction with other key individuals/teams in a regulated pipeline.
Drive forth key deliverables from a test automation aspect tied to a defined roadmap and pipeline of customers' schedules.
