Full-Time Software Tester

We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Software Tester with a strong background in testing Kubernetes and multi-cluster environments. You will design and execute comprehensive testing strategies for cloud-native applications deployed in complex containerized ecosystems.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams, including developers, DevOps engineers, and product managers, to ensure our software solutions meet the highest standards of functionality, scalability, and reliability in distributed Kubernetes environments.

Key Responsibilities

1. Test Planning and Strategy: Develop detailed testing strategies and plans specific to Kubernetes-based and multi-cluster environments. Collaborate with DevOps and development engineering teams to understand CI/CD architectures and build pipelines. Capable of understanding and evaluating risks related to distributed, containerized, multi-cluster and multi-cloud systems.
2. Test Case Development: Create and maintain test cases tailored to Kubernetes clusters, focusing on container orchestration, resource scaling, networking, and cluster resiliency. Develop test scenarios for microservices running in multi-cluster environments, ensuring compatibility and performance.
3. Testing Execution: Conduct functional, integration, and system testing for containerized workloads across multiple clusters. Validate configurations, resource limits, perform negative testing and perform exploratory testing within Kubernetes clusters. Execute performance and scalability tests to evaluate system behavior under varying loads.
4. Defect Management: Identify and document issues related to Kubernetes configurations, networking, and container orchestration. Track and manage defects using tools such as JIRA and work closely with engineering teams to resolve them.
5. Automation: Build and maintain automation frameworks for testing Kubernetes workloads using tools like Helm, kubectl, and Kubernetes APIs. Automate testing pipelines within CI/CD workflows using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or similar tools. Write scripts for validating Kubernetes deployments, service health, and cluster configurations.
6. Team Collaboration and Leadership: Mentor junior testers on Kubernetes-related testing strategies and best practices. Act as the QA representative in technical discussions about Kubernetes deployments and multi-cluster architectures. Contribute to improving QA processes for cloud-native environments.
7. Reporting: Provide detailed reports on test coverage, results, and metrics related to Kubernetes-based applications. Collaborate with stakeholders to identify and address gaps in testing coverage.
