## Job description

Join Our Team

Oowlish, one of Latin America's rapidly expanding software development companies, is seeking experienced technology professionals to enhance our diverse and vibrant team.

As a valued member of Oowlish, you will collaborate with premier clients from the United States and Europe, contributing to pioneering digital solutions. Our commitment to creating a nurturing work environment is recognized by our certification as a Great Place to Work, where you will have opportunities for professional development, growth, and a chance to make a significant international impact.

We offer the convenience of remote work, allowing you to craft a work-life balance that suits your personal and professional needs. We're looking for candidates who are passionate about technology, proficient in English, and excited to engage in remote collaboration for a worldwide presence.

About the Role:

We are looking for an experienced QA Automation Engineer to join a large-scale modernization initiative to transform a legacy platform into a modern cloud-native microservices ecosystem. You will work closely with multiple engineering squads, helping build and maintain automated quality processes that support modern software delivery, cloud-native applications, AI-assisted development workflows, and continuous integration practices. This is not a traditional manual QA role. We are looking for someone who can help build quality into the development lifecycle through automation, scalable testing strategies, and collaboration with engineers working in fast-paced delivery environments.

Responsibilities:

- Design, build, maintain, and execute automated regression test suites.
- Develop automated tests for log and metric ingestion pipelines.
- Validate search and query functionality, accuracy, and latency.
- Test distributed tracing accuracy and end-to-end telemetry flows.
- Validate alert delivery, firing conditions, and routing behavior.
- Develop automated tests for audit trail queries, integrity, and expected system behavior.
- Validate Infrastructure as Code (IaC) deployments, including clean-state deployments, reproducibility, and zero-manual-step expectations.
- Execute and help design load and scalability testing against defined performance targets.
- Execute failure-injection scenarios and validate expected platform behavior.
- Run regression testing across multiple versions and environments in parallel.
- Identify, document, triage, and track defects against formal acceptance criteria.
- Verify fixes and execute appropriate regression testing before quality sign-off.
- Collaborate with the Test Architect and engineering teams to continuously improve regression coverage.
- Maintain clear and reproducible automation code and testing documentation.
- Provide regression evidence during sprint reviews and contribute to quality status reporting.
- Work within Agile sprint cycles using formal acceptance criteria and Definition of Done (DoD).

Requirements:

- 4+ years of professional experience as an SDET, Test Automation Engineer, QA Automation Engineer, or similar technical testing role.
- Strong hands-on experience developing and maintaining automated test suites.
- Strong API testing and automation experience.
- Experience with scripting for technical validation and automation.
- Experience with load and/or performance testing.
- Working knowledge of cloud-based environments.
- Experience testing complex backend, infrastructure, data pipeline, or distributed systems.
- Experience working with formal acceptance criteria and Agile development processes.

Must Have:

- 4+ years of professional SDET or test automation experience.
- Strong hands-on test automation skills.
- Strong API testing and API automation experience.
- Experience developing automated regression suites.
- Strong scripting skills for automation, pipeline validation, or log/data validation.
- Experience with load and performance testing tools.
- Experience testing backend, infrastructure-heavy, data-intensive, or distributed systems.
- Working knowledge of AWS environments.
- Working knowledge of Terraform-deployed environments and Infrastructure as Code concepts.
- Working knowledge of OpenTelemetry-based systems.
- Understanding of logs, metrics, telemetry, and distributed tracing concepts.
- Experience validating data or telemetry pipelines.
- Experience testing across multiple environments and/or product versions.
- Experience with defect identification, triage, tracking, and fix verification.
- Experience working with Jira or similar issue-tracking tools.
- Experience working with formal acceptance criteria and Definition of Done (DoD).

Nice to Have:

- Previous experience testing observability platforms.
- Experience validating OpenTelemetry implementations.
- Experience with log and metric ingestion testing.
- Experience validating distributed tracing.
- Experience testing alerting and notification workflows.
- Experience validating audit trail integrity.
- Experience with failure-injection or resilience testing.
- Experience with high-volume data pipeline testing.
- Experience with security-related regression testing.
- Experience validating Infrastructure as Code deployments.
- Experience testing ERP or complex enterprise platforms.
- Experience working across multiple versions of the same enterprise application.
- Experience with CI/CD-integrated automated regression suites.

Benefits & Perks:

Home office; Competitive compensation based on experience; Career plans to allow for extensive growth in the company; International Projects; Oowlish English Program (Technical and Conversational); Oowlish Fitness with Total Pass; Games and Competitions;
