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 scenarios
Proficiency with automation tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, Ansible, Helm, ArgoCD) for managing cloud environments
Experience with monitoring tools (e.g., Nagios, Grafana, Prometheus) to track and analyze test bed performance and functional test results
Experience in troubleshooting and optimizing cloud infrastructure for performance testing, including identifying bottlenecks and ensuring accurate results
Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and integrating both functional and performance testing into these workflows
Strong collaboration and communication skills to work effectively with cross-functional teams across multiple time zones

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 testing 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 like Terraform, CloudFormation, or similar solutions to support both functional and performance testing
Ensure that cloud test beds replicate production environments and accurately simulate real-world traffic and load for performance testing, as well as support stable, isolated environments for functional testing
Automate the setup and teardown of cloud test environments to efficiently handle continuous integration and continuous testing processes
Develop and implement monitoring solutions to track key metrics for both functional test validation and performance testing (e.g., test execution times, system resource utilization, response times)
Troubleshoot issues in test environments (whether related to functional or performance testing) and work to resolve them quickly, ensuring minimal downtime for testing activities
Collaborate with teams to identify performance bottlenecks, scalability issues, and functional bugs and ensure timely resolution during testing phases
Continuously optimize and improve the efficiency of test bed management, ensuring that test environments are available, scalable, and cost-effective
Analyze test results for both functional and performance tests, identifying trends, issues, and opportunities for improvement in test bed infrastructure and testing strategies
Ensure seamless integration of performance and functional testing into the CI/CD pipeline to support rapid feedback cycles during the development process
