  • Develop and automate sizing measurement tools and frameworks to assess resource requirements (e.g., CPU, memory, storage) for customer deployments.
  • Collaborate with software engineers to define test strategies, review requirements, and ensure quality throughout the product lifecycle—from design to deployment and support.
  • Stay ahead of industry best practices in QA automation, performance testing, and backend technologies to drive continuous improvement.
  • Support team activities, including knowledge sharing and mentoring on testing practices.
  • Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional QA and test engineering experience, desirably on backend or platform-level software.
  • Proficiency with scripting languages (Bash, Python, or similar) for building test automation.
  • Experience with containerized and cloud-native environments (Kubernetes in particular).
  • Strong knowledge of Kafka, databases (SQL / NoSQL), and networking fundamentals.

  • Strong problem-solving, debugging and analytical skills.
  • Excellent attention to detail, and ability to work collaboratively in a distributed and multi-cultural team environment.
  • A genuine interest in backend platforms, distributed systems and performance engineering.
  • Chicago-based, with availability for hybrid work (1-2 days in-office).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • Health Insurance, Vision Plan, and Dental Cover for you and your dependants
  • HSA & FSA
  • Employee Assistance Programme
  • 401(k)
