Job description
We are seeking an OSS Test & Automation Engineer to join the team responsible for developing our core network platform - OSS. In this role, you will act as the primary owner of OSS workflow automation development and test engineering. Your primary focus will be to build, test, document and maintain automation processes executed within the OSS platform - covering network operations, service assurance, reporting, and partner integration workflows. At the same time, you will tightly collaborate with internal Service Assurance and Service Delivery teams to gather requirements, transfer knowledge about the developed automation processes, and receive feedback about the required improvements and changes. You are not a pure QA resource since you are an automation developer who also ensures what is built is verifiably correct and operates as expected by the end users.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain automation workflows and orchestration scripts executed within our own OSS platform, covering network operations, fault management, service assurance, reporting, and inventory
- Own and grow the automation backlog - identify manual, error-prone, or repetitive operational processes as candidates for automation, estimate effort, and drive items through to production delivery
- Design, implement, and maintain automated test suites that validate automation workflows under both nominal and fault/edge-case conditions
- Execute test plans, document results, track defects, and drive resolution in collaboration with all involved internal teams
- Produce clear test documentation of test plans, test cases, test reports, and coverage summaries
- Cooperate with internal Service Assurance and Service Delivery teams by fostering knowledge transfer, gathering requirements, and jointly identifying next steps in developing new automated workflows and processes
- Proactively identify automation failures, performance degradations, or reliability issues and drive root-cause analysis and remediation
- Continuously improve automation reliability, coverage, and maintainability based on operational feedback and incident learnings
- Act as first line contact and support line for internal Service Assurance and Service Delivery concerning OSS automated processes and workflows already introduced into production
- Maintain clear, accurate documentation for all automation workflows introduced
, <li>Python (automation, scripting, test frameworks)</li>
- PostgreSQL / MySQL (SQL)
- MongoDB, Cassandra, or equivalent (NoSQL)
- InfluxDB or similar (Time-series DBs)
</ul>
Physical Requirements
- Ability to work in a standard office or remote home-office environment and use a computer for extended periods
- Ability to participate in occasional after-hours incident response actions
