You will design and build advanced automation frameworks, develop custom test tools, and partner closely with engineering to validate complex, security-sensitive endpoint workflows across operating systems and enterprise environments. This role emphasizes automation architecture, CI/CD integration, and endpoint-focused validation, not manual testing or security engineering.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or similar)
• Develop and manage containerized test environments using Docker and Kubernetes
• Validate authentication and access workflows, including SSO, OAuth, and identity provider integrations
• Execute automated testing across Windows, macOS, and Linux environments
• Analyze test results and system behavior to identify failures and reliability issues
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to embed testability into system design
• Mentor other QA and automation engineers, raising the bar for test automation practices

• Familiarity with authentication and access control concepts (SSO, OAuth, SAML)
• Experience validating performance or reliability characteristics of distributed systems
• Strong communication skills and ability to act as a technical leader within QA
• Due to this role’s involvement working on FedRAMP compliance requirements, qualified candidates must be a “U.S. Person”

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience testing endpoint security or privileged access management products
• Familiarity with cloud or security automation frameworks
• Exposure to remote access protocols (SSH, RDP, VNC)
• Contributions to open-source testing or automation tools

Benefits:
