Job Description

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and drive end-to-end test strategy and quality architecture for cloud networking and security platforms across functional, performance, scale, resiliency, and security testing, aligned with shift-left practices, the test pyramid, and CI/CD pipelines.
  • Act as the technical authority for complex networking, security, and scale challenges, influencing product and system design through early collaboration with architects and senior engineers.
  • Architect, automate, and oversee end-to-end, performance, stress, and scale testing frameworks for distributed cloud systems, driving stable, high-coverage automation and flakiness reduction.
  • Design, validate, and automate large-scale performance, stress, and resiliency tests across networking protocols, control planes, and data planes.
  • Provide deep technical leadership in testing cloud networking and security technologies including BGP, TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/HTTPS, routing, overlays, firewalls, IDS/IPS, SSL/TLS, IPsec, PKI, and proxy architectures.
  • Troubleshoot and root-cause complex, multi-layered production and customer-reported issues using logs, metrics, packet captures, and system behavior across multi-cloud and containerized environments.
  • Partner with Engineering, Product, SRE, and Platform teams to improve reliability, scalability, performance, operability, guide release readiness, risk assessments, and quality sign-offs, and drive QA process, tooling, and infrastructure improvements.
  • Mentor and grow senior engineers, provide technical direction across multiple teams, contribute to hiring and roadmap planning, and represent QA in org-wide design reviews, technical forums, and interviews.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (Master s preferred), with 12-15 years of experience in networking and security-focused QA, test engineering, or systems testing roles.
  • Proven experience leading large-scale, complex testing initiatives across multiple teams or products, driving end-to-end ownership and execution.
  • Deep expertise in networking and cloud networking protocols including BGP, TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP/HTTPS, routing, and overlays.
  • Strong hands-on experience testing network security platforms and technologies, including firewalls, IDS/IPS, threat detection, policy enforcement, SSL/TLS, IPsec, PKI, and forward/reverse proxy architectures.
  • Extensive experience with public cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, and/or OCI) and cloud-native/containerized environments using Docker and Kubernetes.
  • Advanced experience in performance, scale, stress, and resiliency testing of distributed systems, including the ability to design, automate, and execute large-scale scenarios across control planes and data planes.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Linux environments, Python/Shell automation, and network performance tools such as iperf, ethr, Ixia, or equivalent, including CI/CD-driven test validations.
  • Strong analytical, system-level troubleshooting, communication, and leadership skills, with the ability to work independently, influence senior stakeholders, and mentor and technically lead engineers across teams.
  • Strong hands-on experience with security protocols and technologies, including SSL/TLS, IPsec, PKI, and forward and reverse proxy architectures.
  • Solid understanding of containerized and cloud-native environments, with hands-on experience using Docker and Kubernetes for deployment, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Proven experience in automating large-scale and performance test scenarios, including traffic generation, workload modeling, and repeatable scale validations in CI/CD pipelines.
  • Ability to design and execute automated performance, stress, and resiliency tests for distributed systems running in containerized and multi-cloud environments.
