The transactional database market is estimated to grow to $64B by 2025 YugabyteDB is cloud-native by design, has on-demand horizontal scalability, and supports geographical distribution of data using built-in replication. This means that we are well-positioned to meet market demand for geo-distributed, high-scale, high-performance workloads. Join the Database Revolution at Yugabyte. Modern applications need a cloud-native database that eliminates tradeoffs and silos. YugabyteDB retains the power and familiarity of PostgreSQL by pairing its trusted API with a precision-engineered, distributed, cloud-native architecture. Even better, it's 100% open source. Many of the world's leading enterprises are migrating from legacy RDBMSs (like Oracle, SQL Server, and DB2) to YugabyteDB to meet their mission-critical app demands.\n\nIn the role of an SDET for the YugabyteDB control plane team, your primary responsibility will be to ensure the delivery of high-quality releases for both our self-hosted database management platform and our fully managed YugabyteDB-as-a-Service. This includes designing and executing thorough test plans, developing scalable automation frameworks (covering API, UI, and system-level testing), and guaranteeing dependable performance across a variety of infrastructure environments. This role requires experience in building test automation for complex distributed systems, strong collaboration skills with developers and QA peers, and the ability to simulate real-world, production-like conditions in on-prem or hybrid environments.\n\nResponsibilities: \nDesign and implement test plans and test cases, covering cluster lifecycle management, security, networking, platform integration, and more.\nDevelop and maintain automation frameworks and scripts across API, UI, and backend systems.\nValidate end-to-end flows such as backup/restore, TLS/LDAP integrations, RBAC, air-gapped installs, and software upgrades.\nPerform performance and scalability testing on VM-based and Kubernetes deployments across hybrid/on-prem setups.\nCollaborate closely with developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to ensure high-quality releases.\nDebug complex environments, reproduce customer-reported issues, and ensure thorough test coverage.\nContinuously improve test frameworks, tools, and infrastructure.\nActively participate in Agile development processes and own quality gates for the team.\nEnsure that every build meets enterprise-grade reliability standards across a wide matrix of supported platforms.\n\nRequirements: \nStrong programming experience in Python and Java, with a solid understanding of test automation frameworks and libraries.\nPrior experience validating distributed systems, control planes, or complex microservices architectures.\nHands-on experience in validating software across hybrid environments (e. g., VMs, K8S clusters, air-gapped setups).\nFamiliarity with REST APIs, Postgres, and cloud-native technologies; knowledge of YugabyteDB or similar distributed databases is a strong plus.\nSolid understanding of infrastructure, networking, and on-prem orchestration (e. g., Ansible, Terraform, Helm).\nExperience with Kubernetes (K8S), Helm, and containerised deployments.\nExposure to performance benchmarking tools and methodologies.\nExcellent communication and problem-solving skills; ability to work in distributed and fast-paced environments.\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science or related technical discipline.\n5 -10 years of experience in automation testing, preferably in database, infrastructure, or enterprise software domains.\nExperience with enterprise security validation, including LDAP, TLS, and role-based access controls.\nFamiliarity with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc. ) and integration of automated tests into those workflows.\nUnderstanding of deployment tools and hybrid cloud/on-prem operational models.\nFamiliarity with Agile development and continuous testing practices.\nExperience supporting enterprise customers or debugging issues in production-like environments.\nSkills\nansible, automation, helm, java, k8s, kubernetes, python, qa, sdet, terraform, testing","description_format":"text","description_chars":4277,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Commerce","Databases & DBMS"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-26T12:35:56Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":1,"expected_fill_days":80,"reasons":["seen:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-28T05:59:10Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/yugabyte-sdet","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/yugabyte-sdet.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-28T12:48:16Z","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":17114,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-29T00:00:00Z"}},"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":1966},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=1966"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fyugabyte-sdet"},{"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%2Fyugabyte-sdet"},{"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%2Fyugabyte-sdet"},{"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/yugabyte-sdet\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fyugabyte-sdet"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3273138}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yugabyte.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3273138},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people);
