AI-Native QA Engineer with Linux and Networking Knowledge (Access Server)

We are seeking a visionary Senior AI-Driven QA Engineer to join our Access Server team.

In this role, you will transcend traditional testing by spearheading an AI-augmented quality strategy.

You won't just find bugs; you will build intelligent, automated systems using Python and Playwright to ensure the rock-solid reliability of our networking products.

You will be the bridge between deep Linux, networking, and modern AI-driven testing approaches, moving our QA maturity from manual to an automated execution, proactive, and data-driven ecosystem.

Your Contribution Will Include:

• AI-Driven Frameworks: Design and maintain a scalable automation framework using Python and Playwright, integrating AI tools (e.g., Claude, Cursor, Copilot, or custom LLM prompts) to accelerate script generation and maintenance.

• Intelligent Network Testing: Develop automated tests for complex Access Server scenarios, including VPN tunneling, DNS leak protection, and protocol handshakes.

• Automated Infrastructure: Leverage Python to automate the provisioning of Linux environments and Virtual Machines for consistent test execution on the most popular cloud providers (AWS, GCP).

• Predictive Analysis: Use AI/ML techniques to analyze test results and system logs, identifying patterns that predict potential regressions before they reach production.

Important: This will be a long-term B2B contract role, not permanent employment.

Requirements

You’ll be a great fit if you have:

• 5+ years of experience in QA, with at least 3 years focused on Automation (Python preferred).

• Expertise in Playwright: Deep hands-on experience building robust UI and API automation suites using Python.

• AI-Augmented Testing: Proven experience in writing code, designing prompt libraries, and building AI-assisted test generation pipelines.

• Linux Mastery: Strong proficiency in Linux environments, including shell scripting and managing services like MySQL and authentication modules.

• Deep Networking Knowledge: Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DNS, routing, and VPN technologies.

• Cloud & Virtualization: Practical experience with AWS/Azure/GCP.

Bonus Points For:

• Security Expertise: Knowledge of SAML, LDAP, PKI, and SSL certificate management.

• Performance Engineering: Experience using performance tools for load and stress testing.

Our philosophy is that we are a small, closely-knit team, and we care deeply about you:

• Competitive pay rates

• Fully remote work environments

• Self-managed time off.

• Team trips and special events
