Job Description

Job Title: Test Automation Engineer Location: Bangalore Experience: 6+ years Immediate Joiners are Preferred. We're building systems where correctness, performance, and reliability are non-negotiable. We need an engineer who treats testing as a first-class discipline - not a checklist activity. About the role:

This is not a test-case writing role. You'll own the entire approach to testing — architecture, tooling, and outcomes.
You'll work across backend-heavy, distributed systems where failures are nuanced and the stakes are real.
You'll have direct access to leadership, no layers, and genuine influence over engineering quality standards. What we're looking for:
Ownership mindset.You own outcomes, not just test cases. You identify gaps without being asked.
Engineering depth.You design test systems, not just scripts. You think in architectures.
Systems intuition.You understand how distributed systems fail at scale — not just on the happy path.
Observability fluency.You're comfortable with logs, metrics, and tracing to debug failures in production-like environments.
Self-direction.You figure things out and move. You don't wait for instructions.
AI-augmented workflow.You use AI tools intelligently to accelerate your work — not as a substitute for thinking What you'll work on:
End-to-end test automation for backend-heavy, distributed systems
Building test frameworks for APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures
Load testing, failure scenario simulation, and edge-case validation
Deep CI/CD pipeline integration — testing as a continuous engineering activity
Kernel, firmware, and hardware-level validation(advantageous, not required) Tech Stack & Expectations:
Languages: Python / Go (or strong scripting expertise)
Frameworks: PyTest, custom frameworks, or similar
Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes
Systems: Distributed systems, APIs, async/event-driven architectures
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis
Messaging: Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ
Observability: Logging, metrics, tracing
Bonus: Experience with kernel-level or firmware-level testing What you will get:
Full ownership over how testing is designed and implemented — your decisions stick
Hard, interesting problems on systems where quality genuinely matters
Direct access to leadership with no bureaucratic layers
Early-stage influence — your work defines engineering quality standards here
Compensation calibrated to your level of expertise Skills:- Python, Microservices, Test Automation (QA), API and API testing
