Role Overview

We are looking for a highly skilled QA Engineer with strong expertise in API testing, system-level validation, and infrastructure-oriented applications. The candidate will play a key role in validating a hardware inventory and monitoring platform built using Django, DRF, and Kubernetes, ensuring it meets production-grade reliability, performance, and scalability standards.

Responsibilities

- Own the end-to-end test strategy and planning for our Inventory Management System and Redfish Exporter, ensuring system integrity across environments.

- Design and implement test cases for:

- REST APIs (CRUD, pagination, filtering, Prometheus service discovery)

- Hardware data ingestion from Redfish API

- Integration with external systems: Vault, Entra (Azure AD), ServiceNow

- Kubernetes deployment behaviors (via Helm), including ingress, secrets, and load balancing

- Validate data accuracy of inventory records (CPU, Memory, Storage, BIOS, etc.) across backend and UI.

- Perform functional, regression, system, and load testing as features are developed.

- Design and execute load and stress testing scenarios to validate system performance under scale:

- Large number of Redfish targets (e.g., 15k+ servers)

- Concurrent API usage and UI queries

- Automate API and backend testing using tools like Pytest, Postman/Newman, or similar.

- Use tools like Locust, k6,



or JMeter to simulate concurrent load and capture performance benchmarks.

- Validate Grafana dashboards and Prometheus metrics consistency for monitoring.

- Collaborate with developers and DevOps on CI/CD test integration using GitHub Actions.

- Work with developers to enforce quality gates via SonarQube and validate code coverage thresholds.

Required Skills

- 5+ years of hands-on QA experience in backend systems, REST APIs, and infrastructure testing.

- Strong in Python-based testing frameworks like pytest, unittest, etc.

- Hands-on experience with API testing tools (Postman, Swagger, Pytest, etc.).

- Experience with load testing frameworks (e.g., Locust, k6, JMeter).

- Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, test integration in GitHub Actions or similar.

- Solid understanding of Linux, Docker, and Kubernetes deployments (Helm preferred).

- Knowledge of Prometheus/Grafana, metrics validation, and observability practices.

- Good understanding of security testing and access control (e.g., JWT, secrets, RBAC).

- Working knowledge of relational databases (PostgreSQL/MySQL) for test validation.

Nice To Have

- Exposure to Redfish APIs, server hardware lifecycle, or BMC tools (iLO, iDRAC).

- Experience testing applications that interact with Vault, ServiceNow, or Azure AD (Entra).

- Basic understanding of SonarQube, coverage analysis, and test reporting automation.

- Prior experience working in SRE/DevOps-focused environments.
