Senior Test Automation Engineer

Who we are

We're Redis. We built the product that runs the fast apps our world runs on. (If you checked the weather, used your credit card, or looked at your flight status online today, you’re welcome.) At Redis, you’ll work with the fastest, simplest technology in the business—whether you’re building it, telling its story, or selling it to our 10,000+ worldwide customers. We’re creating a faster world with simpler experiences. You in?

We are looking for a Senior QA Testing Engineer with a strong automation mindset to join our DMC Proxy Team in Redis. In this role, you’ll take a central part in developing and maintaining automated testing for one of the fastest NoSQL distributed systems on the planet — supporting tens of millions of ops/sec at sub-millisecond latency with true linear scalability.

As part of our QA activity, your primary responsibility will be to drive automation coverage across a wide range of functional, system, and performance scenarios. You will build robust and scalable automated test infrastructure, create meaningful test cases, and work closely with developers and product teams to identify issues early and ensure product excellence at scale.

This is a hands-on role for someone who is passionate about building high-quality, automation-first test solutions for complex distributed systems.

What You’ll Do

Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks and suites for backend distributed systems.

Implement automated tests covering functional, system, and performance use cases in CI/CD environments.

Analyze test results, investigate failures, and drive issues to resolution with development teams.

Improve automation efficiency, scalability, and reliability using best-in-class tools and practices.

Collaborate with R&D, QA, and Product to define test strategies and ensure comprehensive coverage.

Contribute to system-level performance and load testing, working with real-world customer scenarios.

Lead efforts to identify automation gaps and continuously raise the bar on test effectiveness and coverage.

What You’ll Need

5+ years of experience in QA engineering, with a strong focus on test automation for backend and distributed systems.

Proven experience in designing and implementing automated tests for complex, distributed systems.

Strong hands-on programming experience in Python or Java (must), including building and maintaining automation frameworks, test tools, and complex test scenarios.

Deep understanding of software testing methodologies and automation frameworks.

Experience with performance or load testing tools and analysis.

Proficiency in working with Linux-based environments.

Experience working in CI/CD pipelines and automation tools (e.g., Jenkins, Github CI).

Hands-on experience with networking protocols (including TCP/IP and HTTP/S), along with familiarity with debugging tools and system-level troubleshooting of distributed systems.

Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Extra Great If You Have

Familiarity with monitoring and observability platforms (e.g., Grafana, Prometheus, APM tools).

Experience testing database technologies (especially NoSQL).

Background in distributed systems, clusters, and container orchestration.

Cloud experience (AWS, Azure, VMware, etc.).

Exposure to C or C++ (particularly useful for performance-related testing or integration).
