Role: Python Test Automation Engineer

Location: Pune / Bengaluru

Work mode: Hybrid

We want someone who can actually write automation frameworks/scripts in Python

Candidate should understand Networking fundamentals (need not be network engineer)

Strong experience with Automation - Cypress OR Playwright

Good to have: SD-WAN
Solid Python proficiency required — used for all automation, not just testing
Basic networking knowledge: IP addressing, basic routing protocols
SD-WAN familiarity is a plus — team works on control plane, data plane, and security features (could be unskilled during onboarding)

About the role Join the quality engineering team designing, building, and maintaining automated test frameworks in Python.

Scope
Responsibility covers the entire SD-WAN controller portfolio.
Controllers consist of a platform/virtual machine layer, plus both backend and frontend components — testing/automation needs to cover all layers.

Skills Required
Core: Python Automation (solid working experience) and networking fundamentals.
Good to have: UI automation experience, ideally with Playwright.
Tooling used today: Cypress.
Note: this is a mixed toolset —should have relevant automation/testing experience across this mix (Python, networking, Cypress/Playwright).





AI usage guidance
Valuable AI knowledge (Codex, Claude, etc)
AI should augment work, not replace engineering judgment — no over-reliance
Engineers must understand and be able to validate whatever output the AI gives them, not just accept it
being able to prompt and work with it effectively is expected

Responsibilities
Design/develop/maintain automated test suites (functional, regression, API, integration)
Build/extend automation frameworks (PyTest, Robot Framework, Selenium/Playwright)
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines
Analyze test results, triage failures, collaborate on fixes
Perform API testing, validate data flows
Use Git, Jira for tracking Requirements
Robust Python for test automation and scripting
Test automation frameworks (PyTest, Robot Framework, Selenium, Playwright)
QA methodologies: test design, regression, functional, API testing
CI/CD integration experience
English in multicultural environment

Nice to have:
Performance/load testing (JMeter)
REST/GraphQL API testing, message-based integrations
Prior QA automation on a networking/telecom account (Cisco SCC, SD-WAN)
BDD frameworks (Behave, Cucumber)
