• Validate search and query functionality, accuracy, and latency.

• Test distributed tracing accuracy and end-to-end telemetry flows.

• Validate alert delivery, firing conditions, and routing behavior.

• Develop automated tests for audit trail queries, integrity, and expected system behavior.

• Validate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments, including clean-state deployments, reproducibility, and zero-manual-step expectations.

• Execute and help design load and scalability testing against defined performance targets.

• Execute failure-injection scenarios and validate expected platform behavior.

• Run regression testing across multiple versions and environments in parallel.

• Identify, document, triage, and track defects against formal acceptance criteria.

• Verify fixes and execute appropriate regression testing before quality sign-off.

• Collaborate with the Test Architect and engineering teams to continuously improve regression coverage.

• Maintain clear and reproducible automation code and testing documentation.

• Provide regression evidence during sprint reviews and contribute to quality status reporting.

• Work within Agile sprint cycles using formal acceptance criteria and Definition of Done (DoD).

Requirements: • 4+ years of professional experience as an SDET, Test Automation Engineer, QA Automation Engineer, or similar technical testing role.

• Strong hands-on experience developing and maintaining automated test suites.

• Strong API testing and automation experience.

• Experience with scripting for technical validation and automation.

• Experience with load and/or performance testing.

• Working knowledge of cloud-based environments.

• Experience testing complex backend, infrastructure, data pipeline, or distributed systems.

• Experience working with formal acceptance criteria and Agile development processes.

Must Have: • 4+ years of professional SDET or test automation experience.

• Strong hands-on test automation skills.

• Strong API testing and API automation experience.

• Experience developing automated regression suites.

• Strong scripting skills for automation, pipeline validation, or log/data validation.

• Experience with load and performance testing tools .

• Experience testing backend, infrastructure-heavy, data-intensive, or distributed systems.

• Working knowledge of AWS environments.

• Working knowledge of Terraform-deployed environments and Infrastructure as Code concepts.

• Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry-based systems .

• Understanding of logs, metrics, telemetry, and distributed tracing concepts.

• Experience validating data or telemetry pipelines.

• Experience testing across multiple environments and/or product versions.

• Experience with defect identification, triage, tracking, and fix verification.

• Experience working with Jira or similar issue-tracking tools.

• Experience working with formal acceptance criteria and Definition of Done (DoD) .

Nice to Have: • Previous experience testing observability platforms.

• Experience validating OpenTelemetry implementations.

• Experience with log and metric ingestion testing.

• Experience validating distributed tracing.

• Experience testing alerting and notification workflows.

• Experience validating audit trail integrity.

• Experience with failure-injection or resilience testing.

• Experience with high-volume data pipeline testing.

• Experience with security-related regression testing.

• Experience validating Infrastructure as Code deployments.

• Experience testing ERP or complex enterprise platforms.
