About this role
Veeam is looking for a Staff SDET to own the testing strategy for their data connector and ingestion platform, which processes petabyte-scale data flows across multiple cloud environments. You'll design and build the frameworks, automation suites, and fault-injection pipelines that validate real-world connector behavior under extreme conditionsânetwork degradation, schema drift, rate limiting, authentication failuresâacross streaming protocols like Kafka, gRPC, and REST. The work spans AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes, requiring you to orchestrate high-concurrency test clusters and custom load-generation tools that guarantee zero-data-loss execution.
This role demands 8+ years of software engineering or SDET experience in languages like C++, Java, Go, or Python, combined with deep hands-on knowledge of streaming architectures, queueing systems, and cloud platforms. You'll need proven expertise building distributed load-generation tools and a strong grasp of Kubernetes orchestration. This is a technical authority positionâyou're not just writing tests, but architecting the entire testing infrastructure for a critical data platform at scale.
The position is based in San Jose and requires in-office work. Veeam offers competitive compensation ($250,400â$465,100), comprehensive health and wellness benefits, unlimited PTO, paid parental leave, and professional development resources. Note that this is listed as a volunteer role, which may warrant clarification during the application process.
