Role Description

We’re looking for a hands-on Sr. QA Automation Engineer to own and evolve the Python-based test automation framework for our CLI-driven security platform.

• Design and maintain end-to-end test suites that validate container image hardening, vulnerability scanning, SBOM generation, and compliance workflows across local, CI, and Kubernetes environments.
• Build and maintain robust automation suites using Python and pytest.
• Convert manual/bash test plans into scalable, data-driven test frameworks (CSV/JSON/YAML).
• Design selective execution strategy (tags, ranges, run flags, grouping/sharding).
• Automate CLI command validation (exit codes, stdout/stderr expectations, failure semantics).
• Integrate and maintain test execution in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent).
• Validate container image hardening, scan outputs, and SBOM/RBOM generation across base distributions (Ubuntu, RHEL, Debian, Alpine).
• Manage and improve test artifacts/reporting (.html, .log, .json) for fast triage.
• Troubleshoot environment/auth/configuration drift across runners and VMs.
• Maintain high-quality handover docs, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides.
• Partner with dev/platform teams to stabilize flaky tests and shorten feedback loops.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in SDET or QA Automation roles.
• 5+ years of Python automation experience (pytest required).
• Strong Linux and shell scripting (bash) skills.
• Hands-on experience testing CLI tools or developer workflows.
• Experience with Docker and/or Podman.
• Experience integrating and debugging test runs in CI pipelines.
• Strong debugging skills for authentication, environment, and infra-related failures.
• Solid Git workflow and code review practices.

Requirements

• Kubernetes/KIND/Helm testing experience.
• Compliance/security scan automation exposure (SBOM/STIG-like workflows).
• Multi-runner parallel execution/sharding strategy experience.
• Experience capturing test telemetry for trend analysis (Postgres/SQLite).
• Experience building reusable reporting and observability layers.

Benefits

• Base Salary: $120,000 - $180,000.
