Windows QA, Test Automation & DevOps Lead Engineer

Windows QA, Test Automation & DevOps Lead Engineer 

Location: Pune, MH or Gandhinagar, GJ 

Experience: 6–10 years 

Employment Type: Full-time 

Reports To: Everest Release & Test Automation Lead 

About the Role 

We are hiring a Windows QA / Test Automation / DevOps engineer to validate Everest's Windows stack — minifilter driver, user-mode services, and admin UI — using Sysinternals-based diagnostics and MSI-based release packaging, ensuring stable installs and upgrades on Windows Server. 

Key Responsibilities 

1. Design and maintain automated test suites (NUnit/xUnit or UI automation) for Windows service and driver behavior 
2. Use Sysinternals tools — Process Monitor, DebugView, Process Explorer — to diagnose file-system, registry, and process-level issues 
3. Build and run API-level tests using curl/Postman against Everest's Windows-hosted REST endpoints 
4. Own MSI packaging and installer validation (WiX or similar), including upgrade/downgrade and driver install/uninstall scenarios 
5. Administer Windows Server test environments and author PowerShell automation for setup, teardown, and log collection 
6. Maintain CI/CD pipelines for Windows builds (Azure DevOps or GitLab Windows runners) 
7. Document and reproduce defects with clear evidence (Process Monitor captures, DebugView traces, Event Log excerpts) before handoff 

Mandatory Skills 

Must-Have 

• Windows test automation framework experience (NUnit/xUnit, or UI-level automation tooling) 

• Hands-on use of Sysinternals suite: Process Monitor, DebugView, Process Explorer 

• MSI packaging and installer testing experience (WiX or equivalent) 

• API testing using curl/Postman 

• Windows Server administration and PowerShell scripting 

• CI/CD pipeline experience for Windows builds (Azure DevOps and/or GitLab Windows runners) 

Nice-to-Have Skills 

Good-to-Have 

• Basic WinDbg usage for first-pass triage of driver/service crashes 

• Windows Event Log analysis experience 

• Exposure to VMS/NVR or storage-tiering systems testing 

• Experience testing kernel-mode driver install/upgrade/uninstall paths 

Everest Platform Context 

This role is the Windows counterpart to the Linux QA/DevOps position, ensuring the same install-time and upgrade-time discipline — such as correct conffile/config handling — is validated for MSI-based deployments of Everest on Windows Server.
