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 solid 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 positive 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
