About this opportunity:
Radio Access Network (RAN) automation rApps are revolutionizing the network management and optimization software landscape. These innovative applications are the driving force behind the automatic evolution, deployment, optimization, and healing of networks, enabling service providers to maximize network efficiency and performance. We are seeking a passionate Test Automation Developer to join our cross-functional teams building cloud-native rApps based on machine learning (ML) -enabled architecture. You will design, build and maintain scalable automated test suites that validate functionality, performance, reliability and security across the full delivery pipeline - from CI/CD to production observability - helping us ship higher-quality releases faster.
If you are a curious professional, eager to learn and share knowledge, and enjoy working collaboratively, keep reading.
What you will do:
- Own and evolve the test strategy across the entire development lifecycle.
- Design, implement, and maintain scalable automated test suites (functional, integration, performance, reliability, security) for cloud-native microservices and ML components using Robot Framework and complementary tools.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable fast, reliable delivery and strong production observability.
- Collaborate in agile, cross-functional teams to influence architecture, design, and release quality decisions.
- Help deploy, configure, and operate Kubernetes + Helm based microservices in test and production-like environments.
- Investigate and resolve complex technical issues; propose and implement elegant, automated solutions.
