Job Description:

About the Role

We are looking for a Cloud Firewall Test Engineer to help ensure the quality, reliability, and securityof a cloud-delivered firewall platformbuilt on microservices. You will design and execute tests across UI, API, integration, and systemlevels, with a strong focus on automation using Playwright with Python. You'll also use AI-assisted testing toolsto speed up test creation, debugging, and coverage expansion-while applying good engineering judgment to keep tests correct and maintainable.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

• Design, develop, and maintain automated end-to-endand APItest suites using Playwright with Python, focusing on reliability and maintainability.
• Validate cloud firewall capabilities such as policy management, rule behavior, logging/telemetry, authentication flows, control-plane workflows, and upgradesin a microservices environment.
• Build layered coverage across microservices (service-level API tests + critical end-to-end user journeys) to reduce flaky tests and improve signal.
• Integrate test suites into the build and release pipeline (CI/CD), including parallel runs, reporting, and failure artifacts (logs, traces, screenshots).
• Work closely with software engineers and product owners to review stories and acceptance criteria, improve testability, and define quality gates
• Troubleshoot complex failures using logs/metrics/traces, drive root-cause analysis, and help prevent regressions.
• Use AI-based tools to accelerate test development and triage (for example: generating starter test code, refactoring, summarizing failures, creating test data), while keeping quality and correctness high.
• Contribute to test infrastructure improvements (environments, test data management, mocks/stubs, framework utilities).

Required Qualifications

6 to 8 yearsin QA/Test Engineering, SDET, or Software Engineering with a strong testing focus (we're open to strong entry-level candidates with solid projects/internships).

• Strong hands-on Pythonskills for building automation (beyond simple scripting).
• Hands-on experience with Playwrightfor UI automation, including maintainable patterns (page objects/fixtures) and stable locator strategies.
• Experience testing web APIs (REST)and distributed systems; comfortable validating microservice interactions and contracts.
• Basic to solid understanding of cloud networking/security concepts (for example: TCP/IP basics, authentication flows, and network policy behavior).
• Familiarity with Git-based workflowsand test reporting in a build pipeline.
• Hands on experience in testing security and networking products is a must.

Preferred / Nice-to-Have

• Prior experience testing firewalls, network security products, or cloud-managed firewall deployments.
• Microservices testing practices such as contract testing, API-first validation, and test isolation strategies.
• Exposure to performance, resilience, or scale testing for cloud services.
• Experience with Selenium (especially if you've migrated or helped migrate suites to Playwright).
• Experience using AI-assisted tools for test authoring/debugging (for example copilots, LLM-based triage helpers, AI log analysis).

What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)

• You can run and debug the existing automation suite, and confidently contribute new Playwright + Python tests.
• You add stable automated coverage for a few high-value end-to-end flows and key API scenarios.
• You improve failure triage by producing clean artifacts (logs/traces/screenshots) and actionable root-cause notes.
