About the Job

Senior Test Automation Engineer Enterprise Backup,

What you will be doing:

Go Ecosystem

• Mastery of the native Go testing stack (testing, t.Cleanup(), TestMain)
• Strong DI and mocking via interfaces
• Integration with Docker and Testcontainers Go SDK
• CLI and table-driven test validation
• Database testing (Postgres, Kafka, Redis)

Python Ecosystem

• Advanced use of Pytest with fixtures and parameterization
• Deep knowledge of unittest.mock and DI patterns
• Integration with Docker and Testcontainers Python SDK
• CLI and subprocess validation
• Database testing (Postgres, Kafka, Redis)
  

Cross-platform implementation

• Ensure system portability, performance, and reliability across platforms.
  

Collaboration & ownership

• Take full ownership of your projects as an individual contributor, from design to deployment.
• Collaborate with DevOps, QA, and product teams to ensure seamless integration and delivery.
• Contribute to improving internal processes and code quality standards.
  

What we expect from you:

• Build Clean Frameworks:

  Design the core testing architecture using principles like Dependency Injection (DI) to ensure tests are fast, modular, and fully isolated.

• Advanced Integration:

  Implement and manage Testcontainers to automatically spin up and tear down real external services (databases, storage systems) for high-fidelity, repeatable integration tests.

• Guarantee Stability:

  Enforce strict cleanup policies (using Go's t.Cleanup() or Pytest fixtures) to ensure all temporary resources are reliably removed after every test run.

• Full E2E Automation:

  Develop robust End-to-End (E2E) tests, including validating CLI tools, outputs, and exit codes from the perspective of a real user.

• Optimize and Enforce:

  Optimize the entire test workflow for speed and enforce high code coverage standards (80% or higher) within our CI/CD pipelines.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in software testing, with at least 3 years focused on automation and framework design.
• Strong software engineering principles applied to test code (not just application code).
• Proficiency in either Go or Python, including native testing libraries.
• Proven experience integrating automation and coverage reporting into CI/CD systems.
