Solutions Testing Engineer

Experience: 10+ Years

Location: Remote

Employment Type: Contract

Working Hours: 4:00 PM IST – 12:00 AM IST

Job Overview

We are looking for an experienced Solutions Testing Engineer with strong expertise in Networking, Network Security, Customer-facing Solution Validation, POCs/Pilots, and End-to-End Scenario Testing.

The role will focus on validating a SaaS-based Quantum Security Posture Management (QSPM) platform in realistic, customer-representative network environments. The engineer will simulate real-world network topologies, security configurations, policies, workflows, and deployment scenarios to ensure the platform delivers accurate, reliable, and deployable results before and after customer implementation.

This is a solution validation and customer-environment testing role, rather than a traditional software QA role.

Key Responsibilities

Design, build, configure, and maintain realistic customer-like network lab and POC environments.
Create network topologies involving:
Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks
Routers and switches
Firewalls
VLANs and routing
ACLs and NAT
Network segmentation
Cloud VPC/VNet environments
Hybrid network architectures
Perform end-to-end solution validation covering:
Customer onboarding
Network discovery
Data collection and import
Security posture assessment
Security policy validation
Remediation recommendations
Reporting
Customer workflows
Develop and execute scenario-based test cases based on real-world customer use cases and deployment scenarios.
Reproduce and troubleshoot customer-reported issues within lab, POC, or customer-representative environments.
Validate platform behavior across different:
Network vendors
Network architectures
Network sizes and scales
Security configurations
Cloud and hybrid environments
Support pre-sales POCs, customer pilots, technical demos, and onboarding activities.
Work closely with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Support, Product, and Engineering teams to validate technical requirements and resolve issues.
Identify gaps between platform capabilities and real-world customer requirements and provide clear, actionable feedback to Product and Engineering teams.
Design security validation scenarios based on industry frameworks and standards such as CIS Benchmarks and NIST.
Troubleshoot networking, security, configuration, integration, and deployment issues encountered during POCs and customer implementations.
Build and maintain demo and POC environments for technical demonstrations and solution validation.
Document:
Validated solution scenarios
Test results
Reference architectures
Deployment scenarios
Known limitations
Customer-specific configurations
Technical findings and recommendations
Evaluate network security configurations and identify common misconfigurations, security risks, segmentation issues, and attack-surface exposures.
Stay current with evolving network security architectures, cloud networking technologies, customer environments, and security industry practices.

Required Qualifications

10+ years of overall experience in IT, Networking, Network Security, or related technical domains.
Strong hands-on experience with Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking.
Strong knowledge of:
VLANs
Routing protocols
ACLs
NAT
Firewalls
Firewall rule design
Network segmentation
Network security policies
Strong understanding of network security concepts, security posture, attack-surface risks, and common network misconfigurations.
Experience working with multiple network vendors and technologies.
Proven experience in customer-facing technical solution validation, including one or more of:
POCs
Pilots
Customer deployments
Professional Services
Solutions Engineering
Sales Engineering
Network Security Consulting
Strong experience in scenario-based and end-to-end solution testing.
Ability to evaluate a solution from a real-world customer and deployment perspective.
Hands-on experience building and managing physical or virtual network lab environments.
Strong troubleshooting, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Ability to collaborate effectively with Sales, Customer Success, Support, Product, and Engineering teams.

Preferred Qualifications

Certifications such as:
CCNP
CompTIA Security+
CEH
Equivalent networking or cybersecurity certifications
Experience in:
Solutions Engineering
Sales Engineering
Professional Services
Network Security Consulting
Hands-on experience with cloud networking technologies:
AWS VPC
Azure VNet
GCP VPC
Experience with hybrid cloud and enterprise network environments.
Scripting or automation experience using:
Python
Bash
Exposure to security platforms and technologies such as:
Attack Surface Management (ASM)
Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
Vulnerability Management
Security Posture Management
Network Security Management

Key Success Criteria

Successfully validate customer POCs and pilots with minimal issues during production rollout.
Accurately reproduce customer network environments and deployment scenarios for technical validation.
Identify and troubleshoot solution gaps before customer production deployment.
Provide clear, actionable, real-world technical feedback to Product and Engineering teams.
Enable Sales and Customer Success teams to rely on validated environments, findings, and technical scenarios for POCs, demos, and customer deployments.
Ensure the QSPM platform performs reliably across diverse enterprise, cloud, hybrid, and multi-vendor network environments.

Must-Have Skills

Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a senior networking/network security professional who has hands-on experience working with real customer environments and can independently build representative network labs, execute POCs and pilots, troubleshoot complex networking/security issues, and validate a security solution from an actual customer's perspective.
