Desirable

• We are seeking a experienced Cloud Firewall Test Engineer to help ensure the quality, reliability, and security of a cloud-delivered firewall platform built on microservices
• In this role, you will design and execute test strategies across UI, API, integration, and system levels, with a strong focus on automation using Playwright with Python, and you’ll leverage AI-assisted testing tools to accelerate authoring, debugging, and coverage expansion
• Design, develop, and maintain automated E2E and API test suites using Playwright with Python, prioritizing reliability, speed, and maintainability
• Validate cloud firewall capabilities (examples: policy management, rule evaluation behavior, logging/telemetry, authentication flows, control-plane workflows, and upgrades) in a microservices-based environment
• Build test coverage across microservices using a layered strategy (service-level API tests + critical end-to-end journeys) to reduce flakiness and improve signal-to-noise
• Implement CI/CD integration for automated suites (parallel execution, reporting, and failure triage artifacts such as logs/traces/screenshots)
• Collaborate with Software Engineers and Product Owners to review user stories and acceptance criteria, improve testability, and define quality gates
• Troubleshoot complex failures using logs, metrics, and traces; drive root-cause analysis and partner with engineering to prevent regressions
• Use AI-based testing tools to speed up test development, refactoring, debugging, and test data generation—while applying engineering judgment to ensure correctness and maintainability
• Contribute to test infrastructure improvements (test environments, test data management, mock/stub strategies, and framework utilities)
