About the Role
We are looking for an experienced QA Automation Engineer to join a large-scale modernization initiative to transform a legacy platform into a modern cloud-native microservices ecosystem.
You will work closely with multiple engineering squads, helping build and maintain automated quality processes that support modern software delivery, cloud-native applications, AI-assisted development workflows, and continuous integration practices.
This is not a traditional manual QA role. We are looking for someone who can help build quality into the development lifecycle through automation, scalable testing strategies, and collaboration with engineers working in fast-paced delivery environments.
Responsibilities
- Own and design the end-to-end regression testing strategy and framework across multiple platform components and enterprise environments.
- Translate formal success metrics and technical evaluation criteria into clear, measurable, and automatable acceptance criteria.
- Define comprehensive test coverage for:
- Log and metric ingestion.
- Search and query performance.
- Distributed tracing correctness.
- Audit trail integrity and immutability.
- Alert firing, delivery, and routing.
- Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment validation.
- Load and scalability scenarios.
- Failure-injection scenarios.
- Security and compliance-related acceptance criteria.
- Design the automation architecture and determine the appropriate testing approaches and tooling.
- Establish regression suites that continuously validate sprint deliverables.
- Own test environment strategy and test data management across multiple product versions and environments.
- Define approaches for performance, functional, security, and scalability validation.
- Validate that Infrastructure as Code deployments are reproducible and meet defined acceptance criteria.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure testing approaches align with the underlying platform architecture.
- Track testing progress, risks, defects, and overall quality status throughout the development lifecycle.
- Provide clear quality reporting and recommendations during sprint reviews and stakeholder discussions.
- Own quality gates and provide sign-off recommendations ahead of formal acceptance.
Requirements
- 8+ years of professional experience in Test Architecture, Quality Engineering, QA Automation, or similar technical quality roles.
- Proven experience leading testing strategy for distributed, data-intensive, or infrastructure-heavy systems.
- Deep experience designing comprehensive regression testing frameworks and automation strategies.
- Experience validating more than functional behavior, including performance, scalability, security, and reliability .
- Strong understanding of modern observability concepts and distributed systems.
- Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and automated deployment environments.
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, Agile delivery, and sprint-based development.
- Experience defining formal acceptance criteria and quality gates.
- Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
Must Have
- 8+ years of experience in Test Architecture, QA Engineering, Quality Engineering, or QA leadership roles.
- Proven ownership of regression testing strategy and automation architecture.
- Deep experience designing regression frameworks covering functional, performance, and security validation .
- Experience testing distributed, data-intensive, infrastructure-heavy, or observability-related systems.
- Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry and modern observability concepts.
- Understanding of log and metrics pipelines.
- Experience validating distributed tracing and/or observability workflows.
- Working knowledge of AWS-based infrastructure sufficient to design meaningful technical test cases.
- Experience validating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments.
- Experience working with Terraform-deployed environments .
- Experience with load, scale, and performance testing.
- Experience defining test strategies across multiple environments and/or product versions.
- Experience defining test environments and test data strategies.
- Experience translating technical success metrics into measurable and automatable acceptance criteria.
- Experience working with formal quality gates and Definition of Done (DoD).
- Comfortable owning quality sign-off and providing acceptance recommendations.
Nice to Have
- Previous experience testing observability platforms.
- Experience with logging, monitoring, tracing, or telemetry platforms.
- Experience validating audit trail integrity and immutability.
- Experience with failure-injection or resilience testing.
- Experience with compliance-oriented or security-sensitive platforms.
- Experience testing ERP or other complex enterprise platforms.
- Experience working across multiple versions of the same enterprise application.
- Experience defining testing strategies for high-volume data ingestion systems.
- Experience with performance benchmarking and scalability validation.
- Experience working in client-facing technical engagements.
