Senior Staff Engineer,

REQUIREMENTS:

• Total experience 10+ years
• Deep expertise in test architecture, testing frameworks, and QA practices in Agile / DevOps environments.
• Strong hands-on experience designing reusable testing frameworks (not just test automation).
• Strong coding skills in Java for framework and library development.
• Strong scripting experience in Python for utilities, tooling, and orchestration.
• Solid experience with cloud-native platforms – Azure Cloud or OpenShift.
• Strong hands-on experience with Kubernetes (deployments, services, debugging, test execution).
• Experience integrating test frameworks with GitHub Actions and modern CI/CD pipelines.
• Hands-on exposure to BDD, performance/load, chaos/resilience, end-to-end, soak, sanity, and smoke testing.
• Strong understanding of cloud-native architectures and infrastructure services.
• Experience working with large-scale distributed systems or platform services.
• Proven ability to standardize testing practices across multiple engineering teams.
• Strong analytical, architectural, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across engineering and leadership teams.
• Passion for building scalable testing platforms and frameworks, not just writing tests.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Design, develop, and maintain lightweight, scalable, and reusable testing frameworks for infrastructure platforms.
• Define and evolve testing architecture, strategy, and long-term roadmap in collaboration with engineering leadership.
• Build framework components supporting BDD, performance, chaos, resilience, E2E, conformance, soak, sanity, and smoke testing.
• Ensure testing frameworks are cloud- and Kubernetes-friendly, extensible, and easy to integrate across services.
• Assess existing testing processes, identify gaps and risks, and recommend improvements.
• Drive standardization of testing practices across multiple infrastructure and platform teams.
• Partner with engineering teams to enable adoption of platform-wide testing frameworks with minimal friction.
• Provide starter kits, templates, documentation, and reusable components for developer enablement.
• Collaborate closely with the existing senior test engineer to co-own framework evolution and execution.
• Mentor and guide engineers to elevate testing quality and maturity across teams.
• Build custom tooling, utilities, and integrations as required to support testing needs.
• Integrate testing seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions.
• Embed automated testing into deployment workflows and release gates.
• Work hands-on with Kubernetes-based environments for test execution and orchestration.
• Evaluate new tools, technologies, and testing approaches through POCs to validate suitability.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex testing and pipeline issues through systematic root-cause analysis.
• Advocate best practices for scalability, reliability, resilience, and non-functional testing across the platform.

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, or a related field.
