QA and Automation Engineer

Job Description

We are looking for a QA and Automation Engineer to join the NMX project team. NMX is a unified management, monitoring, and analytics platform for cloud and data center telemetry, built around key subsystems for telemetry collection, event-driven data processing, and control-plane management of networked systems. This role is a strong fit for an early-career engineer who enjoys learning complex systems, building reliable automated tests, and working closely with developers to improve product quality. What you'll be doing: \* Design, execute, and maintain manual and automated test coverage for NMX features across functional, integration, and end-to-end scenarios. \* Validate core NMX workflows across telemetry, monitoring, analytics, and control-plane behaviors in data center and cluster environments. \* Develop and improve automation scripts, regression suites, and validation flows to increase coverage, stability, and execution efficiency. \* Investigate test failures, analyze logs and system behavior, reproduce issues, and work with developers to drive resolution. \* Collaborate with QA, software, DevOps, and architecture teams to support continuous integration and release readiness. \* Contribute to the team's automation infrastructure, tools, and methodologies, in line with current QA automation team responsibilities around frameworks, infrastructure, and DevOps support. What we need to see: \* B.Sc. in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience. \* 1+ years of experience in software QA, validation, or test automation for complex systems. \* Hands-on programming or scripting ability in Python, Bash, or a similar language used for automation. \* Familiarity with Linux environments, debugging, and log analysis. \* Basic understanding of networking, distributed systems, or infrastructure software. \* Good collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work closely with developers and other QA engineers. Ways to stand out from the crowd: \* Exposure to automation frameworks, CI pipelines, or test infrastructure tooling. \* Familiarity with telemetry, observability, or monitoring systems. \* Background in networking technologies such as Ethernet, InfiniBand, or NVLink-related environments, which are relevant to NMX scope. \* Experience working with containerized or microservice-based systems; NMX Manager is described as a microservice architecture built around a message bus and Kubernetes-based orchestration. \* Interest in improving test quality through automation, tooling, and scalable validation practices.
