Responsibilities:
* Lead the technical direction of the automation group: define best practices, set coding standards, and guide architectural decisions for testing methodologies and new feature implementations
* Remain hands-on: actively write, review, and contribute to test code alongside the team, leading by example rather than by title
* Design detailed test plans for new features, and review and approve implementation designs proposed by team members for how those features will be tested
* Engage with R&D and Product from the earliest stages of feature development, providing input on testability, edge cases, and quality requirements before implementation begins
* Design and own test strategies for large, cross-cutting features involving multiple services and components working together
* Mentor and grow team members, conducting code reviews and elevating the team's engineering quality
* Work closely with development, product, and architecture teams to influence design decisions from a quality and testability standpoint
* Drive root cause investigations of complex, hard-to-reproduce issues – race conditions, timing-sensitive failures, and problems that only surface at scale
* Own release sign-off decisions – you'll have the authority to say "not good enough"
* Identify gaps in test coverage across service boundaries and drive initiatives to close them
* A test developer at heart – someone who has spent their career writing and designing tests for complex product features, not building CI pipelines or test frameworks
* At least 10 years of experience developing automated tests for complex, integrated SW/HW products
* Demonstrated experience leading or technically mentoring an automation or QA team
* Strong Python development skills – you write production-quality automation code, not just scripts
* Deep understanding of complex, multi-service distributed systems and how failures propagate across component boundaries
* Proven ability to design test strategies at the system level, not just feature level
* Excellent diagnostic and troubleshooting skills, especially for non-deterministic or environment-sensitive failures
* Strong communication skills – able to represent quality concerns clearly to engineering and product leadership
* Engineering degree or equivalent experience Preferred Qualifications
* Background in enterprise storage (SAN / NAS / Object Storage) – a significant advantage
* Hands-on experience with file protocols (SMB, NFS) or object storage protocols (S3)
* Linux internals and networking knowledge
* Familiarity with storage architecture concepts (replication, snapshots, caching, RAID, data protection)
