Responsibilities
Lead test strategy and execution for complex features and subsystems by analyzing design documents and technical specifications to define objectives, scope, and deliverables with minimal oversight
Own development, review, and continuous improvement of comprehensive test plans, protocols, and documentation; drive defect triage, root‑cause analysis, and verification of fixes
Design, implement, and maintain robust Python-based test frameworks, harnesses, and automation suites used in CI/CD pipelines; ensure code is modular, reusable, and production-ready
Leverage AI models and LLMs to accelerate test-case generation, create prompt-driven scenarios, parse and classify logs, detect anomalies, and prioritize test coverage
Architect and execute advanced security‑aware test scenarios validating encryption, authentication/authorization, access controls, firewall policies, threat emulation, and attack mitigation
Capture and analyze packet traces and system logs (Wireshark, tcpdump, enriched logs); produce clear, reproducible bug reports and actionable RCA for cross-functional teams
Run and coordinate functional, performance, interoperability, regression, reliability, and security tests across physical and virtual lab environments and production-like testbeds
Collaborate cross-functionally with product, development, site reliability, and outsourced partners to define release criteria, improve test coverage, and influence secure-by-design practices
Mentor and lead junior engineers in test design, automation best practices, and security testing techniques; contribute to team processes, tooling, and metrics for continuous improvement
Contribute to building and operating production-level test infrastructure, monitoring, reporting tooling, and CI/CD integrations to scale automated validation efforts
