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

• Solid
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, configuri
