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
