Founded in 2015, DriveNets modernizes the way service providers, cloud providers and hyperscalers build networks. Supporting the largest network in the world, more than half of AT&T’s backbone traffic is running on DriveNets’ Network Cloud open disaggregated architecture. Raising $587 million in three funding rounds, DriveNets is disrupting the networking market from high-scale architecture to AI platforms, and is bringing onboard the most talented people. We are seeking people that want to make an impact on the world’s leading communication networks and are experienced in networking architecture or AI infrastructure solutions.\nWhat You'll Do:\nBuild, lead and mentor the ACO E2E QA team; own the quality of every ACO release from test planning to Go/No-Go sign-off.\nDefine the E2E test strategy, test plans (STP/STD/STR) and acceptance criteria for ACO features based on requirements and design documents, and present them to R&D and Product.\nLead manual end-to-end testing of ACO across its UI/UX, REST APIs, database-backed workflows and the real infrastructure it manages: switch provisioning and upgrades, inventory and topology, telemetry, alerts, configuration compliance, benchmarking and multi-tenancy.\nOwn and maintain the QA lab environments: AI fabric topologies (leaf-spine, DNOS and multi-vendor switches), GPU servers, NetBox/SLURM/Kubernetes integrations and the ACO deployments themselves (single server, HA cluster, cloud).\nValidate network connectivity, configuration and performance across the AI cluster infrastructure: high-speed Ethernet (400/800G/1.6T), GPU nodes, leaf-spine topologies, VLAN/VXLAN, IP addressing, MTU, link status, routing and packet loss.\nVerify BGP routing functionality (neighbor establishment, route advertisement, route propagation and convergence) and EVPN/VXLAN-based isolation on data-center fabrics.\nExecute and analyze AI/HPC benchmarks (RDMA, NCCL/RCCL, MPI, RoCE, training/inference, storage) on GPU and CPU clusters through ACO's benchmarking engine; compare results against established baselines and report deviations.\nValidate telemetry collection (gNMI/OpenConfig, syslog, GPU and NIC exporters) for accuracy, consistency and reliability against device state and live traffic.\nDrive the defect lifecycle: reproduction with evidence, prioritization, root-cause investigation with developers, fix verification and regression; publish clear quality reports and release-readiness metrics.\nDefine and execute the automation roadmap, moving the team from manual E2E testing to automated API, UI and device-level test suites integrated into CI.\nMake AI agents part of the team's daily work (test design, execution, evidence collection, reporting) and set the practices for AI-assisted QA.\nRepresent QA in planning, agile ceremonies, customer escalations and field deployments.\nRequirements\nWhat We're Looking For:\n3+ years of experience leading QA engineers (hiring, mentoring, planning, delivery) on top of 5+ years of hands-on QA.\nMinimum 3 years of application testing across UI/UX, database-backed data and multi-step workflows in web-based systems, including test design from detailed requirements.\nNetworking knowledge at CCNP level or higher: L2/L3 switching and routing, BGP, VLAN/VXLAN/EVPN, MTU/MSS, ECMP, and troubleshooting with packet captures and device CLI.\nAI networking: data-center fabrics for AI workloads - leaf-spine and rail-optimized Clos designs, RoCEv2/RDMA, lossless Ethernet (PFC/ECN/DCQCN), 400/800G/1.6T optics and link health.\nGPU clusters: running, monitoring and optimizing AI workloads and benchmarks (NCCL/RCCL, RDMA, MPI, training and inference) on NVIDIA/AMD GPU servers, with schedulers such as SLURM or Kubernetes.\nStrong hands-on experience in Linux environments (CLI, networking stack, services, logs, scripting).\nHands-on experience working with AI agents in daily engineering work: agent skills, rules/instruction (markdown) files, MCP servers and tools, and prompt-driven workflows (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor).\nAdvantages:\nQA automation experience (Python, pytest, Playwright/Selenium, REST API testing, CI pipelines).\nKubernetes and containers (kubectl, Helm, Lens/OpenLens, Argo CD; monitoring pod status, reading logs, troubleshooting).\nCloud deployments (AWS/Azure/GCP, e.g., EKS).\nDatabases: SQL querying and data validation (PostgreSQL).\nFamiliarity with network operating systems (DNOS, SONiC, Arista EOS, Junos), observability stacks (Prometheus/Mimir, Grafana/Perses, gNMI) and traffic generators (Spirent/Ixia).\nSoft Skills:\nProven leadership: builds a team, sets priorities, makes decisions and owns outcomes.\nExcellent interpersonal and communication skills with R&D, Product, Support and customers.\nHigh-level proficiency in English (both written and verbal) and clear technical writing.\nSelf-starter who learns quickly and adapts easily to new technologies.\nAbility to work under tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities.\nA strong team player with a collaborative mindset.\nWhy Join Us?\nBuild the QA team of a new product - DriveNets' AI Cluster Orchestrator - used to deploy and run some of the most demanding AI infrastructures.\nWork hands-on with state-of-the-art AI infrastructure: 800G/1.6T Ethernet fabrics, NVIDIA and AMD GPU clusters, RoCE and collective communication.\nJoin an AI-native engineering culture where agents are part of the daily workflow.\nCollaborate with brilliant minds in a dynamic and supportive work environment.\nIf you're ready to take the next step in your career and work with a world-class team, apply now!","description_format":"text","description_chars":5667,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":3,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Israel","iso":"IL","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Care Coordination & Population Health","Cybersecurity","Network Security","Internet Service Providers"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-14T10:08:33Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":0,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-14T17:37:04Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/drivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/drivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-14T17:37:04Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":22507,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-15T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":1990259},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1990259"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fdrivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fdrivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fdrivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/drivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fdrivenets-aco-qa-e2e-team-leader"}]}
