As a test developer, you must identify weak spots and constantly design better and more creative test plans to break software and identify potential issues. You will have a huge impact on the quality of NVIDIA's products. The ideal candidate must have strong programming skills and hands-on experience using AI development tools to improve quality and productivity across the end-to-end QA workflow. This includes leveraging AI assistants for test automation, code generation, debugging, and enhancing testing efficiency. During the interview process, we will assess your ability to effectively use AI development tools and evaluate your programming capabilities to ensure you can deliver high-quality solutions., * BS or higher degree or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Electronics or related discipline with 5+ years QA experience. * Significant hands-on experience in software QA, SDET, or test-development roles, with a demonstrated record of delivering production-quality automation. * Strong programming skills in at least one modern language used for test engineering, plus the ability to write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. * Deep practical experience designing agentic end to end SWQA workflow, automation frameworks-not merely extending existing test scripts. * Strong Linux expertise and proven experience testing software deployed with Docker and Kubernetes. * Solid understanding of software quality methodology, including risk-based testing, testability, observability, regression strategy, and release criteria. * Ability to debug multi-layer failures spanning application code, services, infrastructure, networking, and deployment configuration. * Evidence of technical ownership: defining a problem, aligning stakeholders, delivering a solution, and measuring the outcome. * Clear written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence engineers and stakeholders through technical rigor. Ways to stand out from the crowd: * Created or materially transformed a test platform used by multiple teams or products. * Reduced release risk, escaped defects, test runtime, or manual validation effort through measurable engineering improvements. * Demonstrated ownership of an agentic end-to-end SWQA workflow. * Experience validating cloud-native, distributed, or high-scale systems under realistic failure conditions. * Recognised for turning ambiguous quality concerns into clear engineering plans and sustainable technical solutions. ## Description * Architect, implement, and evolve scalable agentic end to end SWQA workflow, automated test frameworks, infrastructure, and tooling for complex software products. * Define test strategy and quality gates across functional, integration, regression, reliability, and release-validation workflows. * Build and maintain high-value automated coverage for Linux-based, containerized, and Kubernetes environments. * Investigate difficult failures across software stacks; isolate root causes and work directly with development teams through resolution with proposed bug fix PRs. * Establish meaningful quality metrics, improve signal-to-noise in test results, and use data to prioritize engineering investment. * Drive automation efficiency through well-engineered tooling, reusable frameworks, and AI-assisted workflows where they demonstrably improve quality or developer productivity. * Raise the technical capability of the wider team through code reviews, design reviews, documentation, and mentorship. * Take ownership of ambiguous, cross-functional quality problems and deliver durable solutions-not just test execution. ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Self-service Quality: QA Without QA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100184-self-service-quality-qa-without-qa) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) - [AI as a Test Designer: Transforming Experience into Automated Testing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1984-ai-as-a-test-designer-transforming-experience-into-automated-testing) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [What is Software Engineering in the Age of AI?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/640-what-is-software-engineering-in-the-age-of-ai) - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology)
