Job Description:

Multi-Features Test (MFT) is a specialized quality engineering group dedicated to designing and validating generalized customer scenarios through rigorous testing of feature interactions and seamless integrations across multiple technology features in complex software products. The team focuses on architecting highly realistic end-to-end test scenarios and reference environments that replicate how diverse features & modules interact under deployment like environment, including various scales, configurations, and failure modes.

MFT owns the comprehensive automation framework, reusable interaction test libraries, integration scenario templates, and automated validation pipelines required to efficiently uncover defects in cross-feature behaviors, compatibility issues, and unintended side effects before they impact customers.

By continuously learning and gathering real-world usage patterns, observed interaction failures, and multi-feature dependencies from customer environments, the team enhanced this cross-feature test, and interaction to deliver high-quality integrated software experiences.

What You’ll Do:

Responsibilities:

• Designing and architecting comprehensive multi-features test solutions that are deeply rooted in real customer use cases and actual deployment environments, with a strong emphasis on feature interactions, integrations, and cross-technology behaviors.
• Developing a robust, end-to-end test strategy and detailed test plan to ensure thorough validation of complex, interconnected software features.
• Creating realistic test topologies that mirror customer production setups for multi-service configurations and test.
• Performing manual exploratory testing, identifying and reporting software defects, and collaborating closely with development teams to drive timely resolution.
• Automating test cases using the PyTest framework to enable efficient, repeatable validation of feature interactions and integrations.
• Working closely with cross-functional teams (including product, development, architecture, DevOps, and support) to align testing efforts with customer needs, release goals, and quality standards
