Senior Platform Engineer, Testing Infrastructure

Senior Platform Engineer, Testing Infrastructure Weave is looking for a Senior Platform Engineer, Testing Infrastructure to build internal tools and systems that empower our developers to prove the quality of their software. This is a software engineering role -- not a QA position -- focused on creating tooling, frameworks, platforms, and infrastructure. You'll lead the technical direction for our Test Infrastructure team and collaborate closely with backend, frontend, mobile, and DevOps engineers to identify and implement opportunities that will improve software quality across Weave. Your work will focus on building developer-friendly solutions that scale with our rapidly growing organization. This role requires deep technical expertise, a strong user-centric mindset, and a passion for improving the developer experience. You'll embody Weave’s values of “The Customer is Everything” and “Care More” by delivering tools and systems that elevate engineering quality across the company. - This position will be remote in India - Reports to: Engineering Manager What You Will Own - Architect and Build Scalable Test Infrastructure: Lead the end-to-end design, architecture, development, and ongoing maintenance of robust, scalable, and reliable test infrastructure, frameworks, and tooling. Your solutions will need to effectively support a diverse range of engineering teams, including Backend (Go microservices on Kubernetes), Frontend (React with Playwright/Cypress), Mobile (Flutter), and MLOps (Python). This requires not only deep technical expertise but also the versatility to design unifying platforms or context-specific tools that cater to varied technological needs and workflows. - Drive Technical Vision and Strategy: Define and champion the technical roadmap for test automation and infrastructure at Weave. You will evaluate emerging technologies, testing methodologies, and industry best practices, making data-driven recommendations and leading the implementation of improvements that enhance efficiency, coverage, and reliability. - Enhance CI/CD and Developer Workflows: Take ownership of and significantly improve our Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, focusing on seamless integration of automated testing, faster feedback loops, and enhanced reliability. You will build and maintain tools that provide clear visibility into test results, code coverage, performance metrics, and overall software quality trends. Develop and refine solutions for critical aspects like test data management, dynamic environment provisioning, and insightful test result analysis. - Solve Complex Engineering Challenges: Tackle intricate technical problems related to testing high-scale, distributed systems, particularly our extensive Go-based microservices architecture running on self-hosted Kubernetes clusters. Address challenges inherent in testing asynchronous systems involving technologies like Kafka and NSQ. - Champion Quality and Enable Engineering Teams: Act as a key advocate and enabler for testing best practices across the entire engineering organization. Create clear documentation, provide targeted coaching, and develop intuitive, "delightful" tools that make it easy for developers to write, run, and understand tests. Collaborate closely and empathetically with engineers from different domains to understand their specific testing hurdles and requirements, ensuring the solutions you build truly meet their needs. - Address Key Infrastructure Gaps: Take ownership of improving areas with underdeveloped test infrastructure, particularly for our Mobile engineering team working with Flutter. This represents a significant opportunity to make an immediate and substantial impact by designing and implementing effective testing solutions for this platform. - Mentor and Lead: Provide technical mentorship and guidance to other engineers, both within the Test Infrastructure team and potentially across the broader engineering org ...
