About
the Role


We are seeking a Senior SDET Engineer with deep
expertise in infrastructure reliability, chaos engineering, and performance
testing. You will own the quality strategy for our backend systems — designing
and executing test frameworks that stress our infrastructure to its limits before
our users ever do. You will work closely with platform, SRE, and backend
engineering teams to embed quality thinking at every layer of our stack.







Key
Responsibilities


• Lead
the design and implementation of chaos, failure, and performance test
frameworks targeting distributed backend systems and infrastructure.



• Build
and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins using Groovy -based DSL and
scripted/declarative pipeline definitions.



• Own
infrastructure -level test environments using Kubernetes — spinning up, tearing
down, and managing test clusters for reliability experiments.



• Execute
and automate chaos engineering scenarios: network partitions, node failures,
pod evictions, resource exhaustion, and latency injection.



• Design
and run performance and load tests to identify bottlenecks, regressions, and
capacity limits across services.



• Develop
failure testing strategies to validate system behavior under degraded




conditions — partial failures, cascading failures, and data corruption
scenarios.



• Define
quality metrics and SLOs for infrastructure reliability; report on test
coverage and failure patterns to engineering leadership.



• Mentor
and guide junior QA engineers; champion a reliability -first quality culture
across the engineering org.






Requirements

Required
Qualifications


• Robust
programming skills in Python for test automation, tooling, and scripting.



• Proficiency
in Groovy, particularly for Jenkins pipeline development (scripted and
declarative).



• Extensive
hands -on Jenkins experience — pipeline authoring, plugin management, shared
libraries, and CI/CD architecture.



• Deep
Kubernetes knowledge — deploying workloads, managing namespaces, configuring
resource limits, and operating clusters for test environments.






• Proven
experience in chaos engineering: fault injection, resilience testing, and tools
such as Chaos Monkey, Litmus, or Gremlin.



• Hands -on
performance testing experience: load generation, profiling, bottleneck
analysis, and tooling (e.g., Locust, k6, Gatling, JMeter).



• Experience
designing failure test scenarios for distributed systems — covering partial
outages, dependency failures, and data -path degradation.



• Strong
understanding of Linux, networking, and infrastructure fundamentals.





Nice
to Have


• Experience
with service meshes (Istio, Linkerd) for traffic shaping and fault injection.



• Familiarity
with observability tooling: Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger, or OpenTelemetry for
validating test outcomes.



• Background
in SRE practices: SLOs, error budgets, incident post -mortems.



• Experience
with cloud infrastructure testing on AWS, GCP, or Azure at the platform level.



• Exposure
to eBPF -based tools for low -level system observability during failure tests.
