Job description

We are seeking a Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) focused on Graph Database Architectures and High-Volume Reporting Engines. You will lead the quality strategy for verifying complex graph traversals, indexing algorithms, multi-tenant analytics, and real-time visualization systems built across AWS and Azure cloud platforms.

What You’ll Do

  • Build automated test suites to verify node/edge relationship integrity, sub-graph query optimizations, and path traversal correctness (e.g., Neo4j, AWS Neptune, GraphQL) under concurrent workloads
  • Validate end-to-end data fidelity, dynamic aggregation accuracy, latency SLAs, and schema evolution across high-volume reporting layers
  • Design automated benchmarking platforms that measure query execution plans, indexing performance, and memory consumption under multi-gigabyte payload conditions
  • Leverage Kubernetes on AWS (EKS) and Azure (AKS) to spin up isolated, multi-tenant database clusters loaded with synthetic graph datasets for automated regression runs

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in software development or test engineering using Java, Python, or Go
  • Expertise in graph technologies (Cypher, Gremlin, GraphQL, Neo4j, AWS Neptune) and complex relational/OLAP query validation
  • Strong cloud background across AWS and Azure data services, along with Kubernetes deployment orchestration
  • Experience verifying large-scale analytical databases and BI reporting backend engines

Benefits & conditions

  • Unlimited paid time off, 12 paid holidays including 4 global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
  • Paid parental leave: 8 weeks for all parents, 16 weeks for birthing parents
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on your first day
  • Mental health support, therapy sessions, and digital wellness tools via our Employee Assistance Program
  • 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions
  • Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy support through Maven, plus paid volunteer time
  • AirVet: 24/7 virtual veterinary care at no cost
  • Legal services, identity protection, and supplemental health insurance options
  • Tax-advantaged spending accounts for healthcare, dependent care, and commuting
  • Opportunities to learn and grow through on-demand libraries (LinkedIn Learning, O’Reilly), mentoring, workshops, and learning events like our annual Global Day of Learning
