The IaaS domain owns the compute, storage and networking primitives customers run their workloads on. We are looking for a skilled Software Test Architect, who will help us establish testing governance, driving a "shift\-left" culture, and building robust, automated test structures. This role involves optimizing CI/CD pipelines, enhancing code coverage, and ensuring high product quality through optimal test engineering.
### **Your Tasks**
* Test Strategy \& Governance: Define and maintain clear rules and boundaries for our test frameworks to ensure consistency and eliminate redundant testing setups. * Shift\-Left Implementation: Restructure test execution to shift testing earlier in the development lifecycle and dependency chain, catching defects before they reach staging environments. * Infrastructure Engineering: Build reusable testing primitives and automated scaffolding to enable developers to provision and OpenStack and internal API test environments efficiently. * Automated Evaluation: Replace manual analysis with automated test reporting and evaluation tools to ensure scalable, reliable feedback loops. * Pipeline Optimization: Design efficient test suites that improve meaningful code coverage while minimizing pipeline execution time and resource consumption. ### **Your Profile**
* Extensive experience in designing and implementing test architectures for complex software systems. * Deep expertise in CI/CD methodology and "shift\-left" testing principles. * Solid understanding of OpenStack and API concepts to build effective test primitives. * Proven ability to optimize test coverage vs. execution time. * Experience in coding and scripting (e.g., Python, Go) for test automation and infrastructure management.
