Software QA Engineer full_time

CodiLime is a software and network engineering industry expert and the first-choice service partner for top global networking hardware providers, software providers and telecoms. We create proofs-of-concept, help our clients build new products, nurture existing ones and provide services in production environments. Our clients include both tech startups and big players in various industries and geographic locations (US, Japan, Israel, Europe).

While no longer a startup – we have 250+ people on board and have been operating since 2011 we’ve kept our people-oriented culture. Our values are simple:

• Act to deliver.
• Disrupt to grow.
• Team up to win.

We develop modern Software-defined Networking (SDNs) and network operating systems for leading networking equipment manufacturers. We work with cloud-native, containerized software and services, as well as with user-space and kernel-space drivers for advanced network equipment such as switches, routers, and smart network interface cards (smartNICs).

We are looking for an engineer with a background in device drivers and OS programming to develop and tailor a network operating system for our client’s devices.

What else you should know:

• We often work using client-supplied hardware and tools
• Our projects may be managed by our EMs or directly by the client
• Most of our clients are based in the US, so work in the afternoon may sometimes be required

As a part of the team, your responsibility will be to:

• Designing and planning tests for new features of new cutting-edge network solutions
• Maintaining and improving a fully automated CI/CD test solution
• Automating test cases in Python using various frameworks
• Designing and automating a new environment configuration to extend our testbed capabilities
• Working in agile methodology and collaborating with a team

As a QA Engineer, you must meet most of the following criteria:

• Strong Python programming skills
• Experience with CI/CD tools and processes (emphasis on Jenkins)
• Basic understanding of virtualization technologies (Containers, Virtual Machines, Orchestrators, virtual networks, etc.)
• At least basic knowledge and experience with computer network configuration, technologies, and protocols (Ethernet/TCP/UDP/DHCP/DNS…)
• Ability to use Linux network tools for network configuration and testing
• Experience in working with Linux and Git
• Good communication skills, English (B2 level)

Beyond the criteria above, we would appreciate the nice-to-haves:

• Experience in testing hardware network solutions (e.g. routers, switches, NICs, etc.)
• Experience in developing automated solutions with Ansible and Jenkins declarative pipelines with an emphasis on CAC
• Advanced knowledge of computer networks with emphasis on network routing protocols and tunneling (BPG, BFD, ISIS, L2/L3 tunneling, etc.)
• Knowledge of network tools with an emphasis on network virtualization (OVS, GoBGP, FRRouting etc.,)
• Experience working with Software Houses

• Flexible working hours and approach to work: fully remotely, in the office or hybrid
• Professional growth supported by internal training sessions and a training budget
• Solid onboarding with a hands-on approach to give you an easy start
• A great atmosphere among professionals who are passionate about their work
• The ability to change the project you work on
