The Basics

Tanium Senior QA Engineers are responsible for testing products built on the Tanium platform. This will involve working with developers and product managers to construct and execute test plans, build automation frameworks, and file detailed bug reports that keep quality high across every release. 

Strong technical skills are essential. If you are not comfortable hunting down resource leaks while simulating hundreds of thousands of clients, digging into the guts of windows security configuration or scripting environment configuration for dozens of target OS’s, this may not be the place for you. If these things sound as exciting to you as they do to us, then Tanium could be your new home!

  • Utilize project management and leadership skills to effectively manage multiple concurrent projects throughout the entire software development cycle 
  • Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites across UI, API, and integration layers using Python/pytest, Playwright, and REST API testing tools 
  • Champion a shift-left, automation-first approach — embed in engineering squads, write in-sprint automation, and ensure test coverage keeps pace with feature development 
  • Build and maintain automated regression pipelines in CI/CD environments — monitoring pipeline health, resolving flaky tests, and ensuring reliable signal to engineering teams 
  • Author and execute test plans and test cases covering functional, regression, integration, performance, and basic security testing scenarios 
  • Identify, document, and track defects using established defect management procedures — providing clear, reproducible bug reports and validating fixes with engineering 
  • Manage resources, project plans, estimates, and timelines 
  • Share knowledge and best practices within the Krakow QA team, contributing to a culture of continuous quality improvement

    • Knowledge of testing best practices including the test automation pyramid, Page Object Model, Agile/Scrum development, and defect management tools (Jira, TestRail)  
    • Familiarity with non-functional testing (load, stress, performance) and basic security testing concepts (OWASP); ISTQB CTFL certification preferred
