Software QA Automation Engineer (Multi-Cloud Networking & Automation)
Cisco · Bangalore · 8–12 yrs experience · Posted 2026-05-28
Tech stack: AWS, Azure, Docker, GCP, GitHub Actions, Go, GraphQL, JavaScript, Kubernetes, Python, Terraform
About the role
Join the founding QA team ensuring Cisco’s multi-cloud networking platform is production-ready for Early 2026 Alpha launch. As a Senior QA Engineer, you’ll architect test automation frameworks, validate complex distributed systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and ensure MCN networking services meet the highest quality standards.
Responsibilities:
- Build comprehensive test automation for MCN’s Alpha launch in Early 2026—ensuring IPsec tunnels, BGP routing, and AutoVPN work flawlessly at scale for Fortune 500 customers.
- Build Test Automation Frameworks
- : Design scalable test frameworks using Python with Pytest, Robot Framework, or Selenium
- E2E Networking Tests
- : Create sophisticated tests for IPsec tunnels, BGP routing, AutoVPN mesh, and cross-cloud connectivity
- Multi-Cloud Quality Assurance
- : Ensure consistent behavior and performance across AWS, Azure, and GCP deployments Scale Testing
- : Design and execute scale tests to validate production traffic loads across regional deployments
- AI-Powered Testing
- : Build MCP servers and AI agents that generate intelligent test cases, detect anomalies, and provide automated root cause analysis
- CI/CD Integration
- : Integrate automated tests into GitHub Actions pipelines for continuous validation
Qualifications:
- 8-12 years QA automation experience building test suites
- Python expertise for test automation and tooling
- Test frameworks - Pytest, Robot Framework, Selenium, or Cypress
- Networking knowledge - TCP/IP, routing, VPN concepts
- Cloud experience - AWS, Azure, or GCP in production
- API testing proficiency (REST APIs, GraphQL)
- Debugging complex distributed systems
- IPsec protocol and VPN testing experience
- Multi-cloud testing (AWS + Azure + GCP)
- Performance testing tools (Locust, k6, JMeter)
- BDD/Cucumber methodologies
- We’ll Teach You
- VPP (Vector Packet Processing) data plane testing
- MCN networking architecture (AutoVPN, IPsec, BGP, SD-WAN)
- Building AI-powered test automation with MCP servers Tech Stack Core
- : Python, Pytest, Robot Framework, Selenium, Cypress Languages
- : Python (primary), Go (test tools), JavaScript (UI tests) Cloud
- : AWS, Azure, GCP Tools
- : Kubernetes, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Actions, Grafana, ELK
- We know everyone’s stack is different and skills translate. If you’ve built test automation at scale and love learning, you’re likely a great fit.
- Standout Candidates Have
- VPP or high-performance networking testing experience
- Chaos engineering expertise (Chaos Monkey, Gremlin, LitmusChaos)
- Multi-cloud production testing across AWS + Azure + GCP
- Open-source test framework contributions or maintainership
