Vail is looking to prevent production issues by building robust, high-throughput test platforms and frameworks that can validate millions of real-time customer interactions across web and telephony platforms.
Requirements
- Programming Skills: Strong proficiency in one or more of Ruby, Java, C/.NET, C++, Perl, Python, or JavaScript
- Frameworks & Tools: Experience with JUnit, TestNG, PyTest, RSpec, Cucumber, or equivalent automation frameworks.
- CI/CD & Containers: Working experience with Jenkins (or similar), Docker, and basic Kubernetes workflow (jobs, pods, Helm charts).
- Systems Knowledge: Familiarity with distributed architectures, API testing, and network-level debugging.
- Telecom/Media (Preferred): Exposure to SIP/SDP/RTP, WebRTC, or similar signaling and media systems.
- Databases: Solid understanding of SQL and NoSQL databases for data-driven testing.
- Analytical Skills: Strong problem-solving mindset, able to triage and isolate issues across multiple layers of the stack.
Responsibilities
- Design and Extend Automation Frameworks: Build maintainable, modular test infrastructure in Python, Perl, Java, or Ruby that adapts to evolving APIs and systems.
- Develop Advanced Test Suites: Own automation for complex functional, integration, and regression scenarios across distributed microservices and telephony systems.
- Validate Real-Time Systems: Contribute to test harnesses that validate signaling flows (SIP, RTP, SDP, WebRTC) and API transactions under varying network conditions.
- Enhance CI/CD Integration: Implement, optimize, and maintain automated test pipelines in Jenkins or similar systems, including containerized and Kubernetes-based environments.
- Analyze Failures & Root Causes: Use log aggregation tools, packet captures, and dashboards (e.g., Kibana, Grafana) to diagnose failures and improve coverage or resiliency.
- Contribute to Test Data & Metrics: Work with SQL and NoSQL databases to generate and validate test data, interpret automation results, and measure performance.
- Drive Continuous Improvement: Identify gaps in test coverage, reliability, and efficiency—propose and implement technical solutions that raise QA maturity.
Other
- Experience: Typically, 2–5 years in software development, test automation, or QA infrastructure engineering.
- Collaboration: Experience in Agile environments; comfortable contributing to cross-functional sprint work, code reviews, and retrospectives.
- Mentor & Share Knowledge: Help guide junior engineers in automation practices, framework design, and debugging strategies.
- Hybrid work format that provides employees flexibility to collaborate with team members based on business needs.
- Interviews and onboarding are conducted in our offices when possible.
