Job description

Join to apply for the Senior Software Engineer, Test role at Redpanda Data

We are a team of doers, seasoned engineers, hackers and builders, working on the future of streaming data.

Funded by premier investors including GV and Lightspeed, Redpanda is building the streaming data platform for developers. We’re evolving streaming beyond the Apache Kafka protocol into a unified “engine of record” that delivers a categorical reduction in complexity, wicked-fast performance, onboard Wasm transforms, and transparent tiered storage that gives consumers access to both real-time and historical data from a single API.

About the Role : In this role, you will collaborate closely with Customer Success and Product Support teams to ensure the highest level of product quality, enabling seamless customer experiences. You will develop and maintain tools to deploy, provision and configure infrastructure used in the development and release of Redpanda Data’s line of products. Working within the Quality Engineering team, you will contribute to the continuous improvement of Redpanda's software delivery processes and practices. This is an opportunity to work closely with product and engineering leadership and teams at a fast-growing, well-funded startup.

We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test (SDET) to join our growing Quality Engineering team. In this role, you will design and develop automated test frameworks and tools, lead testing strategies for scalable cloud infrastructure systems, and ensure our products meet the highest standards of reliability, security, and performance.

You Will :

Test Automation & Frameworks Design, implement, and maintain robust and scalable test automation frameworks for backend, API, CLI, and UI layers for the Redpanda Enterprise and Cloud Product
Test Strategy & Coverage Define and execute comprehensive test strategies for complex cloud infrastructure components such as virtualization, storage, networking, and orchestration
Continuous Integration Integrate automated tests into CI / CD pipelines and contribute to faster and more reliable releases
Cross-Functional Collaboration Work closely with developers, product managers, DevProd, and support teams to understand features, define test plans, and ensure testability
Scalability & Performance Testing Develop tools and scenarios to validate the performance, scalability, and resiliency of enterprise-grade systems in high-load environments
Defect Analysis & Resolution Analyze test failures, isolate defects, and work with engineering, to drive resolution with root cause analysis
Mentorship Mentor junior SDETs and QA engineers on best practices in test automation, tooling, and quality strategy

You Have :

5+ years of experience in software testing and test automation, preferably in enterprise or cloud infrastructure domains

Proficiency in Python or Go for building automation and test tools

Strong experience with test frameworks such as PyTest, TestNG, or similar

Deep understanding of testing RESTful APIs, microservices, and distributed systems

Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, Ansible)

Familiarity with CI / CD tools like GitHub Actions and dynamic pipelines

Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure)

Familiarity with working at a fast-moving, 100% distributed engineering and product team

Nice To have :

Experience with chaos and scale testing and deploying stateful services in Kubernetes

Experience working with streaming engines such as Kafka or Pulsar

Experience deploying data pipelines in the context of end-to-end system testing

Redpanda is used by Fortune 1000 enterprises pushing hundreds of terabytes a day, as well as by the solo dev prototyping a React application on her laptop. Think of it as a streaming data API platform that scales with you from the smallest projects to petabytes of data distributed across the globe.

Join Redpanda if you’d enjoy being part of a fast-moving, 100% remote organization with team members around the globe and a culture based on trust, transparency, communication, and kindness.
