About the Project: Our client is looking for Software Developers in Test with Networking and Test Automation skillset, within the Team which is currently developing new automation work for our Customer. This Team has the ownership to define the process, debug all aspects of the Products' functionality in its release cycle and work closely together with our Test and Framework Development Team to identify root causes, raise issues accordingly to feature or test developers and triage problems. This team also collaborates closely with the Customer's Developer Team on feature issues and thus reduce the number of flaws in the Product. The Customer relies on us to keep a healthy and real PASS rate of the tests in order to maintain a high performance product and demonstrable quality metrics (Quality Gate). The process needs to scale up to the agile release strategy of the Customer's products.

Thus, the ideal candidate has deep knowledge of software development in testing / test automation, computer networking, as well as troubleshooting skills necessary to understand and debug efficiently the various testing scenarios (strong preference is Python, as the framework and tests are written in Python). Prior experience with distributed systems is highly desirable.

Our current team: Our current Test and Framework Development Team is comprised of experienced Automation and Manual QA Engineers, working in an agile process of Product Lifecycle Management. This team provides close assistance to the Release Support Team.

Tools and Technologies used: Python 2.x /3.x, Atlassian Suite, VMWare, Jenkins, Bitbucket, Git, KVM/vCenter, Linux, Docker, Ixia,

Opportunities: Contribute to automated testcase development and framework development. Debug all functional aspects of the Products and Test Framework, gaining experience in a wide area of technologies and devices (Advanced Applied Python knowledge, Cisco, Juniper, Arista, Cumulus, etc.). Work with containerized environments. Define the Quality Gate process with the help of our existing team, maintaining it and having ownership over it. Collaborate closely with our local team and with the Customer's team.

• Primarily contribute to new test automation and framework development by writing complex Python scripts, tightly integrated within a state-of-the-art PTest everything-as-code infrastructure.
• Contribute to the quality strategy of the products by developing and maintaining the Quality Release Gate process
• Run and debug automated integration and system tests in Python per release needs.
• Work closely with the engineering team to isolate and resolve defects in a timely manner
• Work closely with our local team to debug framework and test related issues
• Create bug reports when issues arise and track them through completion.
• Triage failures per severity and prioritize as necessary, when needed.
