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 workplace 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 Enablem
