Join Our Team   Oowlish, one of Latin America's rapidly expanding software development companies, is seeking experienced technology professionals to enhance our diverse and vibrant team.   As a valued member of Oowlish, you will collaborate with premier clients from the United States and Europe, contributing to pioneering digital solutions. Our commitment to creating a nurturing work environment is recognized by our certification as a Great Place to Work, where you will have opportunities for professional development, growth, and a chance to make a significant international impact.   We offer the convenience of remote work, allowing you to craft a work-life balance that suits your personal and professional needs. We're looking for candidates who are passionate about technology, proficient in English, and excited to engage in remote collaboration for a worldwide presence.

About the Role:   We are looking for an experienced QA Automation Engineer to join a large-scale modernization initiative to transform a legacy platform into a modern cloud-native microservices ecosystem. You will work closely with multiple engineering squads, helping build and maintain automated quality processes that support modern software delivery, cloud-native applications, AI-assisted development workflows, and continuous integration practices. This is not a traditional manual QA role. We are looking for someone who can help build quality into the development lifecycle through automation, scalable testing strategies, and collaboration with engineers working in fast-paced delivery environments.

Responsibilities: • Own and design the end-to-end regression testing strategy and framework across multiple platform components and enterprise environments.

• Translate formal success metrics and technical evaluation criteria into clear, measurable, and automatable acceptance criteria.

• Define comprehensive test coverage for:

• Log and metric ingestion.

• Search and query performance.

• Distributed tracing correctness.

• Audit trail integrity and immutability.

• Alert firing, delivery, and routing.

• Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployment validation.

• Load and scalability scenarios.

• Failure-injection scenarios.

• Security and compliance-related acceptance criteria.

• Design the automation architecture and determine the appropriate testing approaches and tooling.

• Establish regression suites that continuously validate sprint deliverables.

• Own test environment strategy and test data management across multiple product versions and environments.

• Define approaches for performance, functional, security, and scalability validation.

• Validate that Infrastructure as Code deployments are reproducible and meet defined acceptance criteria.

• Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure testing approaches align with the underlying platform architecture.

• Track testing progress, risks, defects, and overall quality status throughout the development lifecycle.

• Provide clear quality reporting and recommendations during sprint reviews and stakeholder discussions.

• Own quality gates and provide sign-off recommendations ahead of formal acceptance.

Requirements: • 8+ years of professional experience in Test Architecture, Quality Engineering, QA Automation, or similar technical quality roles.

• Proven experience leading testing strategy for distributed, data-intensive, or infrastructure-heavy systems.

• Deep experience designing comprehensive regression testing frameworks and automation strategies.

• Experience validating more than functional behavior, including performance, scalability, security, and reliability .

• Strong understanding of modern observability concepts and distributed systems.

• Experience working with cloud-based infrastructure and automated deployment environments.

• Strong understanding of software development lifecycles, Agile delivery, and sprint-based development.

• Experience defining formal acceptance criteria and quality gates.

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.

Must Have: • 8+ years of experience in Test Architecture, QA Engineering, Quality Engineering, or QA leadership roles.

• Proven ownership of regression testing strategy and automation architecture.

• Deep experience designing regression frameworks covering functional, performance, and security validation .

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

• Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry and modern observability concepts.

• Understanding of log and metrics pipelines.

• Experience validating distributed tracing and/or observability workflows.

• Working knowledge of AWS-based infrastructure sufficient to design meaningful technical test cases.

• Experience validating Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments.

• Experience working with Terraform-deployed environments .

• Experience with load, scale, and performance testing.

• Experience defining test strategies across multiple environments and/or product versions.

• Experience defining test environments and test data strategies.

• Experience translating technical success metrics into measurable and automatable acceptance criteria.

• Experience working with formal quality gates and Definition of Done (DoD).

• Comfortable owning quality sign-off and providing acceptance recommendations.

Nice to Have: • Previous experience testing observability platforms.

• Experience with logging, monitoring, tracing, or telemetry platforms.

• Experience validating audit trail integrity and immutability.

• Experience with failure-injection or resilience testing.

• Experience with compliance-oriented or security-sensitive platforms.

• Experience testing ERP or other complex enterprise platforms.

• Experience working across multiple versions of the same enterprise application.

• Experience defining testing strategies for high-volume data ingestion systems.

• Experience with performance
