QA Engineer [gn] (Automation & Resilience)

Core Responsibilities:

End-to-End Test Automation: Design, write, and maintain robust automated E2E test suites that mimic real-world enterprise workflows on the Actian Data Intelligence Platform.

Production Resilience Testing: Build automated tests specifically designed to test the platform's stability, load capacity, and recovery under stress or failure conditions.

Pipeline Integration: Embed your automated test suites seamlessly into our CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions/Jenkins) to provide developers with rapid feedback on every code change.

API & Data-Integrity Testing: Move beyond basic UI testing by writing deep integration and API automated tests to verify data accuracy across our distributed architecture.

Defect Triage & Regression Fixes: Partner closely with the Sustaining Engineering team to analyze production bugs, quickly writing automated tests to reproduce and permanently block them from returning.

Flakiness Eradication: Treat flaky tests as a critical bug. Actively track, isolate, and rewrite unreliable tests to maintain total confidence in our automation results.

Early Quality Collaboration: Work side-by-side with backend developers and product owners early in the lifecycle to map out automated testing strategies before the code is even written.

AI-Powered Testing Tools: Leverage modern AI assistants and coding tools to generate test data, accelerate script writing, and debug test failures efficiently.

Clean Test Code Architecture: Write clean, modular, and reusable test scripts, conducting peer reviews with fellow QA engineers to keep the test codebase healthy.

Data-Driven Quality Tracking: Monitor feature-level QA metrics like test execution times, code coverage, and pass rates to continuously optimize the testing pipeline.

Required Experience & Profile:

Technical Background: Solid experience as an Automation QA Engineer or SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test) working with complex cloud-native SaaS or distributed data platforms.

Automation Mastery: Deep, hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks (such as Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium) and programming languages like Java, Python, or Go. Strong SQL and API testing skills are a must.

Resilience Mindset: You are passionate about breaking code and finding hidden flaws. You care deeply about how software behaves under pressure in a live production environment.

High-Agency Builder: You don't wait for code to be delivered to think about testing. You anticipate regressions, ask hard technical questions, and actively push for quality from day one.

Infrastructure Familiarity: Basic understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containers (Docker, Kubernetes), and version control (GitHub).

Communication: Exceptional English skills (written and spoken) to describe complex technical bugs clearly and collaborate easily with development teams.
