seasoned QA and reliability engineering leader

Senior Engineer

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Build and scale

  automated QA frameworks

  across services, APIs, and UI for platform-grade quality
• Drive

  test enforcement in single-click CI/CD pipelines

  using GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Jenkins, or equivalent
• Define and implement

  automated test data creation

  strategies using factories, mocks, and

  synthetic data generation tools

• Design and manage

  on-demand performance and load test environments

  using tools like

  k6, JMeter, Gatling, or Locust

• Architect and orchestrate

  resilience, fault-injection, and chaos testing

  strategies for critical platform components
• Establish

  performance environment strategy

  for multi-tenant, scalable systems with dynamic test coverage
• Define and track

  SLOs, SLAs, and error budgets

  , collaborating with SRE and observability teams
• Drive

  shift-left testing practices

  and embed automated validations early in the development lifecycle
• Enable

  self-service quality tools

  for developers and platform teams to improve test feedback loops
• Continuously evolve

  NFR validation strategies
