Software Developer in Test (PMM)

As an SDET, you will be responsible for designing and executing test strategies across manual and automated environments. You will work closely with developers, DevOps, and product teams to ensure high-quality releases for our product Percona Monitoring and Management, through robust testing frameworks and automation.

What You Will Do

• Automation Development: Develop and maintain test automation using Playwright (preferably in JavaScript) to ensure fast and reliable test coverage.

• Scripting & Infrastructure: Utilize Python and Bash scripting for test automation, reporting, and CI/CD integrations.

• CI/CD & DevOps: Work with GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and other CI/CD tools to automate test execution and reporting.

• Containerization & Cloud: Work with Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), and related technologies to test and validate cloud-native applications.

• Configuration Management & Deployment: Leverage Ansible for provisioning and configuration management in test environments.

• Observability & Monitoring: Utilize Prometheus, Grafana, or similar monitoring tools to ensure system health and performance validation.

• Manual & Exploratory Testing: To identify defects early in the development cycle, perform hands-on functional, regression, and exploratory testing.

• Collaboration & Communication: Work closely with development, DevOps, and product teams to enhance test coverage and improve quality assurance processes.

• Test Strategy & Execution: Design, implement, and execute test cases for web applications, APIs, and backend systems in an Agile environment.

• Database Testing: Write and execute Database queries to validate data integrity and ensure end-to-end functionality. Experience working with MySQL, Postgresql, and MongoDB would be very helpful.

What You Have Done

• Strong database knowledge (relational databases, non-relational databases) and ability to query/test data.

• Hands-on experience in Playwright automation framework, preferably in JavaScript.

• Proficiency in Python and Bash scripting for automation and debugging.

• Experience with CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar tools.

• Command-line proficiency: Navigating Linux via the terminal, managing files, using package managers like apt, yum, or dnf

• Good understanding of Docker and Kubernetes, with exposure to cloud-based testing.

• Familiarity with Ansible for infrastructure automation and configuration.

• Experience with Observability & Monitoring tools such as Prometheus, and Grafana.

• Good understanding of Agile methodologies, SDLC, and QA processes.

• Strong communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.

What Will Make You Stand Out

• Exposure to API testing tools like Postman, REST-assured, or similar.

• Familiarity with performance testing tools like k6.

• Experience with test management tools like TestRail, Zephyr, or similar.

• Basic knowledge of cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) is a plus.

Why Join Us?

• Work on cutting-edge technologies in a collaborative and fast-paced environment.

• Opportunity to contribute to AI-driven QA solutions.

• A culture that values innovation, learning, and professional growth.

• Competitive salary and benefits.
