SDET - Software Engineer in Test - Hyderabad - WFO

Job Description

About the Role

We are seeking a Senior SDET Engineer with deep expertise in infrastructure reliability, chaos engineering, and performance testing. You will own the quality strategy for our backend systems — designing and executing test frameworks that stress our infrastructure to its limits before our users ever do. You will work closely with platform, SRE, and backend engineering teams to embed quality thinking at every layer of our stack.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design and implementation of chaos, failure, and performance test frameworks targeting distributed backend systems and infrastructure.

• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines in Jenkins using Groovy-based DSL and scripted/declarative pipeline definitions.

• Own infrastructure-level test environments using Kubernetes — spinning up, tearing down, and managing test clusters for reliability experiments.

• Execute and automate chaos engineering scenarios: network partitions, node failures, pod evictions, resource exhaustion, and latency injection.

• Design and run performance and load tests to identify bottlenecks, regressions, and capacity limits across services.
