About the company
Come Join Our Passionate Team! At Barracuda, we make the world a safer place. We believe every business deserves access to cloud-enabled, enterprise-grade security solutions that are easy to buy, deploy, and use. We protect email, networks, data, and applications with innovative solutions that grow and adapt with our customers’ journey. More than 200,000 organizations worldwide trust Barracuda to protect them — in ways they may not even know they are at risk — so they can focus on taking their business to the next level.
About the team
You will join the Email Protection organization, focused on Impersonation Protection and Incident Response for Microsoft 365. The team builds and validates SaaS‑scale, highly distributed systems that combine AI‑driven threat detection with automation‑heavy remediation workflows.
As a Senior SDET on this team, you will work close to real‑world attack scenarios testing AI‑powered detections, validating quality signals, and ensuring incident response actions are fast, safe, and reliable at scale.
Why this role?
This is a senior‑level role that goes beyond test execution. You will influence product quality at design time, shape automation architecture, and act as a quality leader across distributed engineering teams.
You are expected to operate with autonomy, lead without authority across time zones, and raise the quality bar for mission‑critical email security systems.
What You’ll Do
Quality Strategy & Ownership
- Own and evolve the automation strategy for Email Protection systems, ensuring scalability, reliability, and long‑term maintainability.
- Drive end‑to‑end test strategy and define meaningful quality signals for complex, distributed SaaS systems.
- Partner with engineering and product teams to influence design for testability and quality early in the SDLC.
Leadership & Influence
- Mentor junior SDETs and provide technical and quality leadership across initiatives.
- Influence developers, product managers, and stakeholders on quality best practices.
- Lead testing efforts across time zones, collaborating and driving outcomes without direct authority.
Hands‑on Execution
- Build and maintain robust automation using modern frameworks and engineering best practices.
- Perform risk‑based exploratory testing where automation is insufficient or impractical.
- Leverage AI‑assisted tools (e.g., test generation, failure analysis, quality insights) to improve coverage, productivity, and signal quality.
Technical Stack
Automation Framework: Playwright
Language: Python
CI/CD: Github, Jenkins, CircleCI
Datastores: SQL
Minimum qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.
- 5+ years of experience in test automation using Python within complex or distributed systems.
- Strong collaboration skills with developers, product managers, and cross‑functional stakeholders.
- Proven ability to mentor junior engineers and lead testing efforts for projects or initiatives.
- Demonstrated ability to evaluate and introduce new tools or practices to improve quality outcomes.
Preferred qualifications:
- Hands‑on experience with Playwright‑based test automation.
- Experience integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines.
- Exposure to email security, cloud security, or large‑scale SaaS systems.
What you will get from us:
A team where you can voice your opinion, make an impact, and where you and your experience are valued. Internal mobility – there are opportunities for cross training and the ability to attain your next career step within Barracuda. In addition, you will receive equity, in the form of non-qualifying options.
