PRINCIPAL SW SYSTEMS ENGINEER 9850

Extreme's Cloud Operations team is looking for a highly skilled Cloud Test Bed Engineer to manage and optimize cloud test beds for functional and performance testing. You will ensure cloud environments are configured, automated, and optimized for end-to-end testing, validating core functionalities and assessing system performance under heavy loads. Key Responsibilities: - Design, manage, and optimize cloud test bed environments in AWS, GCP, and Azure for both functional and performance testing. - Collaborate with Development and QA teams to define requirements for functional validation (unit, integration, regression tests) and performance testing (load, stress, scalability). - Provision, automate, and scale test environments using infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar solutions. - Ensure cloud test beds replicate production environments and simulate real-world traffic/load for performance testing while maintaining stable environments for functional testing. - Automate setup and teardown of cloud environments to support CI/CD and continuous testing processes. - Develop and implement monitoring solutions to track test execution metrics, system resource utilization, and response times. - Troubleshoot and resolve functional or performance testing environment issues to minimize downtime. - Collaborate with teams to identify performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, and functional bugs, ensuring timely resolution. - Continuously optimize test bed management for efficiency, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. - Analyze functional and performance test results, identifying trends, issues, and opportunities for test bed improvement. - Integrate functional and performance testing seamlessly into CI/CD pipelines to enable rapid feedback cycles. Minimum Qualifications: - BS-level technical degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. - 13+ years of experience in CloudOps or DevOps with a focus on cloud application management. - Hands-on experience with AWS, GCP, or Azure in building and maintaining cloud-based environments. - Strong knowledge of Linux systems, networking, and cloud security fundamentals. - Experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and their use in functional and performance testing. - Proficiency with automation tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Helm, ArgoCD. - Experience with monitoring tools such as Nagios, Grafana, or Prometheus. - Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating functional and performance testing. Skills: Functional Testing, Performance Testing Experience: 15.00-20.00 Years
