This role emphasizes test engineering, automation-first thinking, and infrastructure-aware testing.

Key Responsibilities

• Test Design & Strategy
• Design, develop, and maintain comprehensive test strategies, test plans, and test cases for deployment platforms, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure workflows (e.g., Jenkins, custom deployment tools, IaC modules).
• Automation Engineering
• Build and maintain scalable, reusable, and reliable automated test frameworks and utilities using TypeScript, Go, Python, or PHP.
• Infrastructure & Pipeline Testing
• Validate correct provisioning, configuration, state management, and rollback behavior of infrastructure deployed via IaC tools such as Terraform or Ansible.
• Functional & Non-Functional Testing
• Execute and automate functional, integration, system, regression, performance, and security tests focused on deployment pipelines and infrastructure automation.
• CI/CD Pipeline Quality
• Ensure continuous delivery pipelines are resilient, observable, performant, and meet defined service-level objectives.
• Collaboration & Shift-Left Quality
• Partner closely with DevOps, Deployment, and Software Engineering teams to understand new features early and integrate testing into design and development phases.
• Defect Analysis & Reporting
• Track test execution, defect trends, and quality metrics. Proactively identify risks, inconsistencies, and bottlenecks within the deployment toolchain and infrastructure modules.
• Production Support
• Participate in an on-call rotation to assist with production escalations, alerts, and root-cause analysis related to deployment and infrastructure quality.
