    + Test APIs (REST and gRPC) for functionality, security, and performance.

    + Build and run test scenarios for networking features (e.g. NAT, firewalls, VPN tunnels, VRFs).

    + Build and execute test plans in HIL environments to validate software on real hardware.

    + Work with PostgreSQL and SQLite to seed test data, assert correctness, and validate migrations.

    + Integrate tests into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Jenkins.

    Experience Requirements:

    + 4+ years of experience in test automation or software quality roles, ideally with exposure to both frontend and backend testing.

    + Strong programming skills in Python and TypeScript.

    + Hands-on experience with networking testing tools and debugging traffic behavior.

    + Experience with test frameworks such as Pytest, Jest, and Cypress.

    + Familiarity with REST and gRPC API testing.

    + Experience testing web UIs built with React/Next.js.

    + Ability to set up and validate cloud infrastructure (e.g. AWS EC2, VPC) and simulate real-world scenarios.

    + Familiar with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated build/test workflows.
