About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Senior QA Engineer / QA Lead with 10–12 years of experience in cloud-based network management solutions to join our engineering team.
The role will focus on end-to-end quality engineering for a cloud-hosted network management platform, managing and monitoring networking devices such as Access Points, Switches and Routers.
The ideal candidate will have strong experience in testing cloud-managed networking solutions, with a combination of networking, AWS/cloud, REST APIs, Python automation, TypeScript/Playwright and end-to-end system testing.
This role requires someone who can understand and validate the complete solution across:
Network Device → LAN/WAN → Internet → AWS Cloud → Cloud Services/APIs → Database → Web/Mobile Application
The candidate should be comfortable troubleshooting issues across both the networking and cloud/application layers.
