• Write and maintain integration, E2E, and system-level tests using tools like Pytest, Jest, and Cypress.
• Test APIs (REST and gRPC) for functionality, security, and performance.
• Build and run test scenarios for networking features (e.g. NAT, firewalls, VPN tunnels, VRFs).
• Build and execute test plans in HIL environments to validate software on real hardware.
• Work with PostgreSQL and SQLite to seed test data, assert correctness, and validate migrations.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins.

Skills and Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in test automation or software quality roles, ideally with exposure to both frontend and backend testing.
• Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript.
• Hands-on experience with networking testing tools and debugging traffic behavior.
• Experience with test frameworks such as Pytest, Jest, and Cypress.
• Familiarity with REST and gRPC API testing.
• Experience testing web UIs built with React/Next.js.
• Ability to set up and validate cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS EC2, VPC) and simulate real-world scenarios.
• Familiar with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated build/test workflows.
