Full Job Description
Senior Software Quality Engineer, Release Testing Do you want to help make the world safe from cyber attack? At Corelight, we believe that the best approach to cybersecurity risk starts with the network. Attackers can evade endpoint detection, firewalls and many other technologies - but they can’t avoid leaving digital footprints on the networks they traverse. Built on open-source innovations from Zeek, Suricata and YARA and refined through years of real-world use, Corelight transforms network footprints from physical, virtual and cloud networks into actionable insights. Our customers use these insights to speed incident response and proactively hunt for threats. As the Senior Software Quality Engineer for our Release Testing team, you serve as the critical final gatekeeper for our Open NDR platform. You will ensure that the actionable insights generated by Zeek, Suricata, and YARA are delivered with absolute reliability to our global customers. By orchestrating complex, real-world network scenarios across cloud and on-prem environments, you bridge the gap between infrastructure and deep network analysis to ensure that defenders have a robust foundation to hunt threats and disrupt attacks. Specific Responsibilities: Drive the End-to-End Testing Lifecycle: Act as the final technical authority on product quality, leading the strategy for stable, high-performance releases across multiple concurrent projects. Architect Scalable Test Infrastructure: Design and maintain high-fidelity test environments across on-prem, virtual, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) using Infrastructure as Code (Ansible, Terraform). Develop Advanced Automation: Build and optimize sophisticated automated test frameworks and utility scripts using Python and Bash to ensure fast, reliable feedback loops. Continuous Quality Integration: Manage test code within Git and seamlessly integrate automated suites into CI/CD workflows to modernize our release cadence. Network Protocol Deep-Dive: Perform e
