Project Description
Our client is looking for Software Developers in Test, with strong Software Development, Test Automation and preferably basic Networking skillsets, who will be continuously improving and maintaining the Quality Release Gate process for our Customer. This Team creates new automated testcases in a purely software development-oriented fashion (using design patterns and heavy OOP), as the infrastructure and test cases are tightly integrated as intercommunicating Python applications. The engineer is expected to raise the bar in code review, SOLID design principles, OOP implementation, improving the quality of the team's PRs and code in general as a gatekeeper. This team also collaborates closely with the Customer's Developer Team on feature issues and thus reduces the number of flaws in the Product. The Customer relies on us to keep a healthy and real PASS rate of the tests in order to maintain a high-performance product and demonstrable quality metrics (Quality Gate). Our current Team is comprised of experienced Software Developers, Automation and Manual QA Engineers, working in an agile process of Product Lifecycle Management together with our Customer.
Tools and Technologies used:
Python 2.x /3.x, Atlassian Suite, Jenkins, Bitbucket, Git, KVM/vCenter, Linux, Docker, Ixia.
Opportunities:
Debug all functional aspects of the Products and Test Framework, gaining experience in a wide area of technologies and devices (Advanced Applied Python knowledge, Cisco, Arista, Cumulus, etc.). Work in a Docker environment. Define the Quality Gate process with the help of our existing team, maintaining it and having ownership over it. Collaborate closely with our local team and with the Customer's team. Primarily contribute to automated test case development and framework development, gaining in-depty understanding of the client code and bettering yourself as a professional developer. Maintain a solid and predictable, quantified code review process. Work in an expanding team of talented professionals, as a senior you will also have the opportunity to take responsibility of a group of people and grow your specialized Release Unit.
