The Auth team is responsible for both internal (e.g. Service-to-service authorization, etc.) and external (e.g. user login, etc) authN and authZ. The team is a critical part of cloud, frequently working collaboratively with many other product groups. The team builds and extends services that can make 1+ trillion decisions per day!. You'll be instrumental in building and scaling our next-generation test automation infrastructure, focusing on frameworks, libraries, and tooling that ensure the quality of our cloud services. We process millions of security events per second and manage petabytes of critical security data - the scale and impact of your work will be significant. We're seeking innovative problem-solvers who can take ownership of complex technical challenges and drive quality initiatives across our platform. You'll work with cutting-edge cloud technologies while helping protect organizations worldwide from sophisticated cyber threats. Success Means: * Architecting and delivering scalable test automation solutions that can handle enterprise-scale workloads * Breaking complex distributed systems in creative ways to uncover edge cases and potential vulnerabilities * Taking ownership of quality initiatives that span across cloud services, data processing, and customer-facing applications * Building robust frameworks that enable teams to deliver features with confidence * Collaborating effectively across engineering teams to drive testing best practices * Balancing speed and quality while working in a fast-paced security technology environment, * Design and implement scalable test automation frameworks for complex distributed systems involving cloud services and endpoint agent software. * Develop comprehensive test strategies for security-critical features, focusing on reliability, accuracy, and performance at scale * Review engineering technical designs with a focus on testability, security implications, and potential edge cases * Create and maintain cloud-based test infrastructure that simulates real-world deployment scenarios * Build tools and frameworks for testing complex agent-cloud interactions, data processing pipelines, and API integrations * Drive root cause analysis for production issues and implement automated tests to prevent regression * Mentor team members on test automation best practices and security-conscious testing approaches ## Related Videos - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Reducing LLM Calls with Vector Search Patterns - Raphael De Lio (Redis)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1714-reducing-llm-calls-with-vector-search-patterns-raphael-de-lio-redis) - [Exploring the Power of gRPC-Gateway for Writing RESTful Services](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2072-exploring-the-power-of-grpc-gateway-for-writing-restful-services) - [You can’t hack what you can’t see](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/41-you-can-t-hack-what-you-can-t-see) - [Accelerating Authentication Architecture: Taking Passwordless to the Next Level](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/733-accelerating-authentication-architecture-taking-passwordless-to-the-next-level) - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1964-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [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)
