Technical Proficiency * Deep understanding of Kubernetes internals, cluster lifecycle management, Helm, service meshes (e.g., Istio or Linkerd), and network policies. * Strong scripting and automation capabilities (Python, Pytest, Bash, etc.). * Familiarity with observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Jaeger), Kubernetes security (RBAC, secrets management), and performance benchmarking tools (e.g., K6). * Solid grounding in cloud architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP), infrastructure provisioning, and containerized CI/CD. * Moderate to advanced linux knowledge and proficiency is required: Bash scripting and debugging, systemd/logs, networking/firewalling/routing, certificate/PKI management, containers (Docker/containerd), and Kubernetes tooling (kubectl/Helm with OCI registries, GitOps/Flux) to install, test, and troubleshoot multi-cluster environments. Leadership & Collaboration * Exceptional problem-solving and architectural thinking. * Experience influencing cross-functional teams and senior leadership. * Excellent verbal and written communication skills for technical and executive-level audiences. * Mentorship and coaching of 1 or more junior members on the team especially around testing fundamentals, troubleshooting and automation. Preferred Extras * Contributions to open-source Kubernetes or QA tooling projects. * Experience implementing chaos engineering in Kubernetes environments. * Certifications such as CKA, CKAD, or AWS Certified DevOps Engineer. ## Description Testing Strategy & Leadership * Contribute to driving the overall QA strategy for Mirantis Secure Registry, Kubernetes and cloud-native environments, aligning quality goals with business objectives and release deadlines. * Evaluate and champion best-in-class testing practices and frameworks for distributed systems. * Lead risk analysis and test planning for large-scale, multi-cloud registry, infrastructure and container orchestration. Architecting Test Systems * Architect test frameworks and infrastructure for validating microservices and infrastructure components in multi-cluster and hybrid-cloud environments. * Oversee the design of complex test scenarios simulating production-like workloads, resource scaling, failure injection, and recovery across distributed clusters. Automation & Scalability * Spearhead the development of scalable and maintainable test automation integrated with CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub Actions, etc.). * Leverage Kubernetes APIs, Helm, and service mesh tools to build comprehensive automation coverage, including system health, failover behavior, and network resilience. * Promote test infrastructure-as-code and drive IaC forward on the team making sure the infrastructure code is repeatable, extensible and reliable. Mentorship & Technical Influence * Mentor QA engineers and developers in advanced testing techniques such as: risk-based testing, chaos engineering, performance and load testing etc. * Serve as the QA authority in design reviews, production readiness assessments, and incident retrospectives (escaped defects). * Collaborate with devops engineers to refine monitoring, alerting, and debugging strategies for testing automation being run in CI/CD. Quality Advocacy & Continuous Improvement * Establish quality gates, release readiness metrics, and data driven feedback loops to ensure released software is production quality. * Drive initiatives to integrate performance, security, and chaos testing into the development lifecycle. * Advocate for a culture of quality across teams and influence architecture decisions with testing in mind. ## Related Videos - [Enabling automated 1-click customer deployments with built-in quality and security](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/83-enabling-automated-1-click-customer-deployments-with-built-in-quality-and-security) - [pytest: Simple, rapid and fun testing with Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/213-pytest-simple-rapid-and-fun-testing-with-python) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Rate-limiting using eBPF and Istio: How to protect your SaaS customers from themselves](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100220-rate-limiting-using-ebpf-and-istio-how-to-protect-your-saas-customers-from-themselves) - [Automagic Configuration in Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/363-automagic-configuration-in-python) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Learning Kubernetes made easy with KubeCampus](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/348-learning-kubernetes-made-easy-with-kubecampus) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Now is the time for industrialized software development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/601-now-is-the-time-for-industrialized-software-development) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers)
