Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a QA Engineer for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in the USA. Our client is a global leader in quantum computing, networking, sensing, and security, delivering integrated quantum solutions through its advanced quantum platform and foundry. Its newest generation of quantum computers builds on a line of cutting-edge systems that have helped customers and partners, including Amazon Web Services, AstraZeneca, and NVIDIA, achieve 20x performance improvements and accelerate innovation across drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record for quantum computing performance.

You will own quality for our SaaS-based Quantum Security Posture Management platform. This role focuses on rigorous, product-level testing, including functional correctness, regression coverage, and automation, for a platform that models Layer 2/Layer 3 networks and evaluates security posture. You will work closely with developers to identify defects early and build confidence in every release.

Requirements

• 6+ years of experience in software QA/testing, ideally with SaaS or enterprise infrastructure products.
• Working knowledge of Layer 2/Layer 3 networking, including VLANs, subnetting, routing protocols, ACLs, NAT, and firewall logic.
• Foundational knowledge of security concepts, including firewall policies, segmentation, and common vulnerabilities and misconfigurations.
• Experience with manual and automated testing using tools such as Selenium, Playwright, and Postman/Newman, as well as defect tracking tools such as Jira.
• Experience testing REST APIs and validating JSON and other data payloads.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to write clear, reproducible bug reports.

Will be a plus

• Certifications such as ISTQB, CCNA, or Security+.
• Scripting experience with Python or Bash for test automation.
• Experience with virtual network labs such as GNS3 or EVE-NG, or with cloud networking such as AWS VPC or Azure VNet.
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines and test integration.

Responsibilities

• Design, write, and execute detailed test cases and test plans for platform features, including network discovery, topology mapping, policy/rule analysis, posture scoring, alerting, and reporting.
• Perform functional, regression, integration, and API testing across releases and sprints.
• Validate the correctness of Layer 2/Layer 3 network modeling, including VLANs, routing, ACLs, NAT, and firewall rules, as represented and analyzed by the product.
• Build and maintain automated test suites at both the UI and API levels to increase regression coverage and reduce manual testing effort.
• Set up and maintain test environments and labs, including virtual network topologies such as GNS3, EVE-NG, and containerlab, as well as multi-vendor device configurations for Cisco, Juniper, Palo Alto, and Fortinet.
• Log, triage, and track defects; work with Engineering to reproduce issues, identify root causes, and verify fixes.
• Participate in sprint planning, story refinement, and release readiness reviews, providing a quality and risk perspective.
• Contribute to test strategy improvements, including shift-left testing practices and CI/CD test integration.
• Maintain clear and thorough test documentation, including test cases, coverage matrices, and defect reports.
