About the Job

As a Senior Test Automation Engineer - Enterprise Backup, you will lead the design and maintenance of a reliable automated testing framework for backend services written in Go or Python. You will treat the testing environment as production code with a clear focus on reliability, isolation, and maintainability at every level. This deep engineering role involves ownership of layered testing, including unit, integration, and end-to-end suites, as well as managing complex dependencies to support the fast and confident release of critical services.

What you will be doing:

Go Ecosystem

  • Mastery of the native Go testing stack (testing, t.Cleanup(), TestMain)
  • Strong DI and mocking via interfaces
  • Integration with Docker and Testcontainers Go SDK
  • CLI and table-driven test validation
  • Database testing (Postgres, Kafka, Redis)

Python Ecosystem

  • Advanced use of Pytest with fixtures and parameterization
  • Deep knowledge of unittest.mock and DI patterns
  • Integration with Docker and Testcontainers Python SDK
  • CLI and subprocess validation
  • Database testing (Postgres, Kafka, Redis)

Cross-platform implementation

  • Develop backend services that run efficiently in Linux-based environments.
  • Ensure system portability, performance, and reliability across platforms.

Collaboration & ownership

  • Take full ownership of your projects as an individual contributor, from design to deployment.
  • Collaborate with DevOps, QA, and product teams to ensure seamless integration and delivery.
  • Contribute to improving internal processes and code quality standards.

What we expect from you:

  • Build Clean Frameworks: Design the core testing architecture using principles like Dependency Injection (DI) to ensure tests are fast, modular, and fully isolated.
  • Advanced Integration: Implement and manage Testcontainers to automatically spin up and tear down real external services (databases, storage systems) for high-fidelity, repeatable integration tests.
  • Guarantee Stability: Enforce strict cleanup policies (using Go's t.Cleanup() or Pytest fixtures) to ensure all temporary resources are reliably removed after every test run.
  • Full E2E Automation: Develop robust End-to-End (E2E) tests, including validating CLI tools, outputs, and exit codes from the perspective of a real user.
  • Optimize and Enforce: Optimize the entire test workflow for speed and enforce high code coverage standards (80% or higher) within our CI/CD pipelines.

Required Qualifications

  • 5+ years in software testing, with at least 3 years focused on automation and framework design.
  • Strong software engineering principles applied to test code (not just application code).
  • Proficiency in either Go or Python, including native testing libraries.
  • Proven experience integrating automation and coverage reporting into CI/CD systems.
