Senior SDET

May 2024 – Present · 1 yr 11 mos · Pune District, Maharashtra, India · Remote

As a Senior SDET, I play a pivotal role in building a reliable and secure cloud platform by ensuring the quality of core Linode services. My work involves testing of backend APIs/microservices and the frontend Cloud Manager, directly contributing to the development of new cloud infrastructure.
Led end-to-end quality validation for critical cloud infrastructure projects, including the backend and frontend integration of Linode NodeBalancers with VPCs. This ensured seamless and secure networking functionality for users.
Engineered a data-driven automation framework from the ground up to test the new Linode Identity and Access Management (IAM) API integration. I also developed a custom reporting portal to provide clear insights into API health and test coverage, significantly improving the feedback loop for developers.
Proactively diagnosed production issues and test failures by analyzing logs with Grafana LogQL and monitoring application health using New Relic and Sentry to ensure system stability and performance.
Contributed to the existing API testing framework by adding coverage for new features across virtual machines (VMs), networking, and other cloud services.
Collaborated with development and product teams to align testing strategy with product goals, ensuring the seamless delivery of high-quality cloud features.
Actively contributed to release testing pipelines, monitoring execution, analyzing results, and identifying critical issues to safeguard product quality.
