Senior QA Automation (Python) with Networking

Project description

Product verification & testing for an L1-L3 Traffic Generator Solution for a Global Networking Testing and Validation equipment provider. Our team: A team of networking enthusiasts willing to contribute to customer success. Technologies used: Networking protocols, traffic generation tools, Windows/Linux servers, network virtualization,network management tools, microservices. Opportunities: Networking and testing certifications, collaboration with an international team of professionals,working with the latest networking technologies and concepts, access to trainings.

Responsibilities

• o Design, implement, and verify complex automated system test cases for Ethernet network equipment o Derive automation requirements from manual functional test specifications and hardware validation reports o Collaborate with development team to translate software requirements into high-quality test automation suites o Develop automation for the end-to-end solution validation and integrate the automation for seamless validation. o Define and review long-term, performance and scalability test scenarios o Implement, execute and debug PyTest/Python automated test scripts on Linux-based platforms o Analyze and manage automated regression test execution failures o Debug and troubleshoot complex issues and work closely with the engineering team on the failures and validate the fixes o Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines o Collaborate closely with hardware and software development teams to triage test failures and drive quality improvements o Reproduce and root-cause hardware/firmware defects through systematic test isolation o Make use of AI tooling (e.g. Claude Code, agentic AI) given customer-specific heavy usage patterns. o Review customer deployments and customer-found issues and address any gaps in the test coverage.

SKILLS

Must have

• o Overall QA background of 6+ years, with 4+ years in testing networking domain-related applications. o QA Automation experience in an Agile/SCRUM team, focused on API and/or CLI testing (4+ years); Python strongly preferred (other comparable languages are considered). o Automated Testing for API or CLI 4+ years, including experience in test harness or framework development. o Practical experience with telecom network equipment like routers, switches, traffic generators o Experience with and understanding of the OSI/TCP/IP Network Stack layers L1 – Phy and L2 – Data Link o Practical experience with AI tooling in day-to-day activities to improve productivity and delivery quality (code generation, code review, automation, agentic AI, MCP usage, etc.). o Experience in performance, scale, and convergence testing; ability to analyze and improve performance and convergence at system level. o Ability to develop and publish solution validation documents and test reports. o Strong verbal and written communication skills; able to communicate effectively across QA and Development teams. o Highly motivated, self-driven, and able to collaborate cross-functionally to meet challenging goals.

Nice to have

o Linux OS variants (Ubuntu, Debian) - Knowledge. o CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab, or similar) and issue tracking tools (JIRA, Confluence).
