In this role, you will:

• Design, develop, and maintain robust automated tests for WhatsUp Gold and Flowmon across relevant application layers.
• Apply an AI-first approach to test creation, test maintenance, test-data generation, exploratory testing, and defect analysis, while validating the accuracy, security, and suitability of AI-generated outputs.
• Define and evolve scalable test automation strategies, frameworks, and quality gates that support reliable CI/CD delivery.
• Identify high-risk areas and coverage gaps, prioritizing automation that delivers the greatest product and customer impact.
• Partner with software engineers to improve testability, shift quality practices earlier in the development lifecycle, and investigate complex defects.
• Improve the efficiency and reliability of regression testing, reducing manual effort while maintaining appropriate human oversight.
• Establish meaningful quality metrics and use them to communicate risks, trends, and improvement opportunities to stakeholders.
• Contribute to responsible and consistent adoption of AI-enabled testing tools and practices across the team.
• Mentor engineers and QA colleagues on test automation, quality engineering, and effective AI-assisted testing techniques.

Your background:

• 5+ years of experience in software quality assurance, quality engineering, or software development engineering in test.
• Strong hands-on experience designing and implementing automated tests for complex software products.
• Experience with test automation frameworks, API testing, integration testing, end-to-end testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Proficiency in at least one modern programming or scripting language used for test automation.
• Practical experience using AI-enabled tools to improve software testing, such as test-case generation, test-data generation, test maintenance, exploratory testing, or defect analysis.
• Sound understanding of the limitations and risks of AI-generated outputs, with the ability to apply appropriate validation and human judgment.
• Experience working in Agile development teams and collaborating closely with software engineers, product managers, and other stakeholders.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills, with the ability to identify root causes and communicate quality risks clearly.
