TL;DR · Quality Engineer – Solution Engineering

Quality Engineer – Solution Engineering joins the Cloud Security Engineering team to perform end-to-end system, feature, and scale validation across Cisco Secure Access and Cisco Umbrella platforms. In this role, you will design, build, and maintain robust automated testing frameworks to validate complex, multi-service cloud-native architectures from concept through post-launch. You will evaluate architectural risks regarding functionality, performance, and scalability while collaborating with cross-functional teams to identify vulnerabilities and analyze root causes for system stability issues. The role requires proficiency in Python or Go, experience with Docker containers, Kubernetes orchestration, and public cloud platforms like AWS or GCP. You must possess knowledge of core networking protocols such as TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, and IPsec. Additionally, you will utilize tools like Locust or JMeter to execute performance and chaos test suites for high-throughput distributed network services.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and maintain robust automated testing frameworks for multi-service cloud architectures.
  • Validate system functionality, performance, and scalability to prevent critical production regressions.
  • Identify vulnerabilities and analyze root causes of system-level stability issues.
  • Accelerate time-to-resolution for identified technical defects in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
  • Benchmark emerging technologies, libraries, and automation tools to improve platform reliability.
  • Execute performance, scale, and chaos test suites using tools like Locust or JMeter.
  • Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines within an Agile development environment.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).
  • 6+ years of professional experience in software quality engineering, system testing, or test automation.
  • Experience with programming and automation scripting using Python or Go (Golang).
  • Experience testing cloud-native architectures utilizing Docker containers, Kubernetes orchestration, and public cloud platforms like AWS or GCP.
  • Experience with core networking protocols and VPN technologies including TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, DTLS, IPsec, or IKEv2.
  • Domain expertise in SSE, SASE, SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, or Next-Generation Firewalls (preferred).
  • Experience testing high-throughput distributed network services such as load balancers, reverse proxies, and caching engines (preferred).
  • Proven track record building performance, scale, or chaos test suites using tools like Locust or JMeter (preferred).
