As an SDET/Dev-QA Engineer at Plume, you'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the functionality and performance of our edge security products. Collaborating closely with Dev and Automation teams, you'll develop and execute comprehensive test plans, identify and document bugs, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our QA processes. Responsibilities: Design and develop automated test cases for validating DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) engines and secure network traffic inspection. Test real-world client/router/cloud interactions for deep testing of L2-L7 network behaviour. Validate TLS/SSL traffic inspection and network traffic classification techniques. Write tests to ensure accurate handling of malformed packets, evasive traffic, and intrusion detection patterns. Simulate security vulnerabilities (e. g., DNS tunnelling, spoofing, port scanning) and evaluate detection effectiveness. Leverage and extend DPI tools (e. g., nDPI, Suricata, Zeek) for custom validation use cases. Partner with firmware developers to validate and test the access control logic.
