Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (Connectors)

Join our team as a Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) specializing in Data Connectors & High-Scale Ingestion. In this role, you will be responsible for designing testing frameworks and benchmarking tools that validate multi-source data integration pipelines processing petabyte-scale throughput across AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes. You will also build automation suites to test real-world connector data flows under degraded network conditions and extreme concurrency. This position offers unlimited paid time off, paid parental leave, medical, dental, and vision coverage from day one, and many other benefits.

• Design and execute scalable performance, backpressure, and stress-testing harnesses for ingestion connectors (REST, gRPC, CDC, Kafka, RabbitMQ).
• Build automation suites across AWS (S3, SQS, Kinesis, EKS) and Azure (Event Hubs, Blob, AKS) to test real-world connector data flows under degraded network conditions and extreme concurrency.
• Implement automated fault-injection pipelines (simulating schema drift, network partitions, rate limits, and authentication failures) to guarantee zero-data-loss execution.

• Deep experience in testing streaming architectures (Kafka, Event Hubs), queueing systems, and API protocols (gRPC, WebSockets, REST)
• 8+ years of software engineering/SDET experience in C++, Java, Go, or Python
• Proven track record building custom distributed load-generation tools (e.g., Locust, k6, custom Go/Java engines)
• Hands-on proficiency with AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes (Helm, custom controllers, or K8s operators)
