Test Automation Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain robust automated test frameworks and test suites for network and observability platforms.
• Define test strategies for functional, integration, performance, scalability, and regression testing.
• Collaborate with engineering teams to understand requirements, design test cases, and identify potential risks.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable continuous testing and faster delivery cycles.
• Analyse test results, identify root causes of failures, and provide actionable feedback to development teams.
• Mentor and guide other engineers on best practices for test automation and observability testing.
• Drive quality initiatives across the platform, including test coverage metrics, automation metrics, and reporting.
• Work with observability tools (logs, metrics, traces) to validate network behaviours and ensure platform reliability.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in software testing, with at least 2-3 years in test automation.
• Strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, or Go.
• Experience with test automation frameworks (e. g., Selenium/Playwright, Pytest, Robot Framework, JUnit).
• Experience with network technologies, protocols (TCP/IP, BGP, SNMP), and observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK).
• Experience integrating tests with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar).
• Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to influence quality practices across teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with large-scale distributed systems and cloud-native architectures.
• Knowledge of container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and microservices testing.
