- Architectural Understanding: Comprehensively understand and analyze the application's end-to-end architecture to proactively identify integration and regression risks
- Framework Development: Design, develop, and maintain robust automation test frameworks, including API/UI test harnesses, comprehensive integration frameworks, and precise component-level validation tools
- Reporting & Analytics: Build and enhance advanced reporting dashboards to provide actionable insights into test coverage, failure rates, regressions, and quality trends
- GenAI Innovation: Research, integrate, and develop GenAI-driven features to enable intelligent test generation, automated validation, and advanced debugging support, pushing the boundaries of our QA capabilities
- SDLC Integration: Collaborate closely with developers, architects, and DevOps teams to embed quality practices and considerations throughout the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
- Test Strategy Ownership: Define and own comprehensive test strategies for backend services, complex distributed systems, and cloud-native components
- Continuous Improvement: Identify gaps in existing test coverage, lead initiatives to reduce certification time, and proactively work to minimize false failures. Drive continuous improvement of our test automation infrastructure and tools
- Proactive Quality Assurance: Investigate customer-reported issues thoroughly and proactively develop automated validations to prevent future regressions
What We're Looking For:
- 8+ years of progressive experience in Quality Assurance (QA) and Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) roles, with a proven track record of hands-on experience in infrastructure-level testing and developing robust test frameworks
- Strong theoretical and practical understanding of distributed systems, microservices architectures, and complex integration patterns
- Demonstrated experience with MongoDB and other essential cloud-native infrastructure components
- Proven expertise in designing, implementing, and maintaining test automation frameworks using Python, Java, or JavaScript (e.g., Cypress, Selenium)
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and Docker
- Familiarity with major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Solid knowledge and practical experience in performance, scalability, and observability testing
- Exceptional debugging skills with the ability to deeply investigate logs, stack traces, and complex service interactions to pinpoint root causes
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively across cross-functional teams
Nice to Have:
- Experience with data integration platforms, enterprise SaaS solutions, or tools similar to SnapLogic
- Prior ownership and development of test reporting dashboards using tools like Grafana, Kibana, or custom front-end solutions
- Knowledge of DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture), documentation frameworks, or API documentation generation pipelines
- Experience integrating or developing with Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities (e.g., OpenAI APIs) for QA innovation is a strong plus and highly valued
