What I'm looking for

Senior QA Automation Engineer / SDET (Python), fully remote. I design and own test frameworks end to end — pytest, Playwright, API/contract tests (httpx, Pydantic), Allure, CI/CD in Docker. Strong on the infra underneath (containers, networking, Grafana, Locust), so I can trace a failure from the UI down to the host. Most interested in fintech, infrastructure and dev-tools teams.

I'm a Senior SDET / QA Automation Engineer with 8+ years in IT and ~3.5 years focused on test automation, backed by ~5 years of infrastructure work in datacenters, server hardware, and networking. I build "classic" automation with pytest, Selenium, Playwright, Locust, and Allure. When the system needs it, I push that into infrastructure-aware, hardware-validating testing.

At OpenYard, I was the founding SDET and the first automation engineer on a previously manual QA team that grew to five engineers. I cut full server acceptance testing across three production stages from 2–3 days to ~6 hours, and moved acceptance from sampling to 100% coverage, dropping the defect rate from ~4% to ~0.5%. I also created the onboarding Confluence guide that helped ramp the three SDETs hired after me.

My approach is both design-driven and risk-driven. I introduced a GPU load pre-condition fixture (forcing the correct BMC fan profile via IPMI/BMC before the load phase) after a hardware failure caused another GPU card to burn out; the fix prevented hardware loss of ~$100k and became a permanent quality gate. I also designed and led TSLS, a bridge between Orion (test orchestration + production traceability) and the test framework, including REST API contracts, auto-discovery of stands, and real-time WebSocket status streaming.

Beyond functional automation, I focus on reliable execution at scale: I rebuilt iperf3 to meet strict spec requirements, created self-distributed test runners to remove centralized orchestration bottlenecks, and built CI/CD and observability workflows with GitLab CI, Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Promtail, and cAdvisor. Earlier, at Sulpak, I delivered API/UI/E2E test coverage with pytest, Requests, Pydantic, Selenium Grid, RabbitMQ + testcontainers, and Locust. I also mentored junior QAs with review checklists and an internal test style guide.

Senior SDET Infrastructure

OpenYard

Mar 2025 - Mar 2026 (1 year)

Founded a new automation function and built a single pytest-based pipeline that cut full server acceptance testing across 3 production stages from 2–3 days to ~6 hours, while reducing defect rate from ~4% to ~0.5%. Designed TSLS integration between Orion and the test framework and prevented ~$100k in hardware loss by adding GPU pre-conditions using IPMI/BMC fan profiles.
