Role summary This is a hands-on engineering role focused on building reliable, scalable test systems for a distributed, event-driven platform. You will specialize in integration, end-to-end, and performance testing, with a strong emphasis on eliminating flakiness, improving signal in CI/CD, and ensuring systems are testable by design. You will work closely with product and platform engineers to design for testability, validate complex workflows, and leverage AI to accelerate test development, debugging, and coverage analysis.

A good candidate will continuously challenge test strategy to maximize confidence while minimizing test suite cost and execution time.

Key responsibilities Quality Strategy & Architecture

Define and drive end-to-end test strategy across services, APIs, and workflows

Establish scalable, reusable automation frameworks aligned with architecture patterns

Promote quality as a shared responsibility across teams

Automation & Testing

Partner with engineers during design and development to ensure systems are observable, debuggable, and testable

Build and scale API, integration, and end-to-end automation using open-source tools

Design test coverage for microservices and distributed systems

Validate event-driven and asynchronous workflows, including failure and retry scenarios

Test Reliability & Signal

Identify, debug, and eliminate flaky tests across pipelines

Design and manage test data strategies for complex, stateful systems

Improve determinism and stability of integration and E2E test suites

Increase signal-to-noise ratio in CI by reducing false positives/negatives

Build tooling and practices for test isolation, data management, and environment consistency

Performance Engineering

Develop and execute performance and load testing strategies (Locust, k6, JMeter)

Model realistic production traffic and identify system bottlenecks

Partner with engineering teams to optimize system performance

CI/CD & Shift-Left Enablement





Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines for fast, reliable feedback

Drive early testing practices across the development lifecycle

Ensure stability and reliability of automated test execution

Observability & Debugging

Leverage logs, metrics, and traces to validate system behavior

Use observability tools (e.g., Grafana) to diagnose issues and improve reliability Required qualifications (Hard requirements)

12–14 years in QA Automation / Quality Engineering

Hands-on experience with microservices and event-driven architecture (Kafka or similar)

Experience with performance testing tools (Locust, k6, JMeter)

Robust experience integrating testing into CI/CD pipelines

Familiarity with observability practices (logs, metrics, traces; Grafana preferred)

Robust collaboration and communication skills across cross-functional teams Preferred qualifications Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, engineering or related field

Experience with AI-assisted testing or generative AI tools

Exposure to test architecture design at scale

Experience influencing quality practices across multiple teams

What success looks like Measurable reduction in escaped defects and improved system reliability

Significant reduction in flaky test rates

Faster and more reliable CI/CD feedback cycles

Improved visibility into system performance and behavior

Strong adoption of automation and quality practices across teams
