Job Description

As a QA Tools Engineer, you will design, develop, and maintain the tools and infrastructure that enable efficient and reliable testing across Cinarra’s environments. You will focus on automating QA environment management, evolving our AMI-based infrastructure, and creating scalable environments for functional, load, and performance testing. You will work closely with QA, Development, and Operations teams to ensure infrastructure and platform changes can be tested effectively and consistently. Your work will reduce manual operational effort, improve environment stability, and enable teams to identify scalability and performance issues earlier in the development lifecycle.

Role & Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain tools and automation for provisioning, configuring, updating, and supporting QA environments.

• Own and evolve the QA AMI lifecycle, including automated AMI creation, validation, updating, versioning, and maintenance.

• Develop and support scalable, production-like test environments for functional, load, performance, and infrastructure testing.

• Build an approach for managing multiple AMI branches and environment configurations across Development, QA, Pre-Production, and Production stages.

• Design, implement, and maintain automated load and performance testing solutions that provide meaningful insight into system behavior, scalability, and resource utilization.

• Develop automated test-data generation and environment preparation capabilities to support large-scale and repeatable testing scenarios.

• Validate infrastructure-related changes and upgrades, including changes to distributed platform components such as Kafka and other system dependencies.

• Investigate environment instability, deployment issues, performance degradation, and infrastructure-related failures; develop tooling and automation to prevent recurring problems.

• Integrate QA infrastructure, environment management, and performance testing workflows into CI/CD pipelines to enable repeatable and reliable testing.

• Collaborate with QA, Development, and Operations engineers to identify opportunities for automation, improve testability, and continuously enhance the reliability and maintainability of Cinarra’s testing infrastructure.
