WHAT YOU’LL NEED - 5+ years of experience in QA engineering, with a strong focus on test automation for backend and distributed systems. - Proven experience in designing and implementing automated tests for complex, distributed systems. - Strong hands-on programming experience in Python or Java (must), including building and maintaining automation frameworks, test tools, and complex test scenarios. - Deep understanding of software testing methodologies and automation frameworks. - Experience with performance or load testing tools and analysis. - Proficiency in working with Linux-based environments. - Experience working in CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, Github CI). - Hands-on experience with networking protocols (including TCP/IP and HTTP/S), along with familiarity with debugging tools and system-level troubleshooting of distributed systems. - Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment. EXTRA GREAT IF YOU HAVE - Familiarity with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, APM tools). - Experience testing database technologies (especially NoSQL). - Background in distributed systems, clusters, and container orchestration. - Cloud experience (AWS, Azure, VMware, etc.). - Exposure to C or C++ (particularly useful for performance-related testing or integration). #redis #LI-IB1 #Hybrid As a global company, we value a culture of curiosity, diversity of thought, and innovation from our employees, customers, and partners.
