About This Role
- Develop and maintain automated test suites validating firewall functionality across NGFW, SASE, ZTNA, SWG, VPN, and SD-WAN security domains.
- Build and maintain test lab environments including virtual machines, containers, and physical appliances to simulate network traffic for firewall testing.
- Execute tests through CI pipelines, analyze failures to differentiate defects from environment issues, file detailed defect reports, and support performance and scale testing.
Minimum Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related technical field.
- 2–4 years of professional experience in QA automation or test engineering related to networking or security products.
- Proficiency with Python and Bash scripting, Linux command-line environments, Git, and test frameworks such as pytest or Robot Framework.
- Working knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, TLS/SSL, NAT, routing) and firewall fundamentals (packet filtering, stateful connection tracking, NAT, rule evaluation).
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Experience automating functional and performance testing for firewall or network security products in agile, cross-functional teams.
- Strong hands-on skills with Linux networking tools like iptables, nftables, conntrack, iproute2 and network traffic analysis tools (Wireshark, tshark, tcpdump).
- Comfortable working with CI/CD pipelines and REST API testing for firewall management and policy validation.
