Test Automation with cloud

AI assisted test engineering cloud automation CICD integration and multi region validation

Role purpose

Design build and operate the automated testing capability for a complex cloud platform operating across five independent locations with monthly releases and additionally continuously evolve the test coverage as new platform features are introduced The role will create the automation framework from scratch convert high value regression into reliable automated validation integrate testing into CICD and enable the same test system to qualify every region

The successful candidate must be able to design maintainable software understand cloud infrastructure and APIs investigate distributed system failures and use modern AI coding agents effectively without relying on them blindly

Key responsibilities

Design and implement a scalable cloud test automation framework from the ground up

Build reusable API clients resource factories validators environment configuration test data handling diagnostics and cleanup capabilities

Automate critical customer journeys across Compute Networking Storage IAM and supporting platform services

Develop API service regression covering positive and negative behavior authentication authorization boundaries resource lifecycle idempotency pagination filtering concurrency timeouts retries error handling and backward compatibility

Validate not only control plane API responses but where relevant resulting infrastructure state and data plane behavior

Build automated pre upgrade baselines post upgrade smoke testing and regional regression validation configuration rather than duplicated region specific suites

Build automated pre upgrade baselines post upgrade smoke testing and regional regression validation

Integrate test tiers into CICD fast checks during development post deployment smoke nightly regression release candidate qualification and regional upgrade validation

Design tests for parallel execution isolation deterministic setupteardown and safe resource cleanup

Capture actionable diagnostics on failure including API requestsresponses timestamps resource identifiers and relevant platform state

Support automated performance baselines and technically complex resiliencefailure scenarios in cooperation with Development and Operations
