vCluster is a Kubernetes virtualization product (from loft-sh) that creates virtual Kubernetes clusters on top of existing Kubernetes infrastructure. It enables dedicated, multi-tenant or private-node clusters for use cases like internal platform standardization, hybrid Kubernetes deployments, sovereign or dedicated customer environments, AI cloud providers and distributed inference. vCluster is positioned as a tooling/product solution for enterprises operating Kubernetes at scale, offering managed features, releases and integrations for internal K8s platforms and cloud-native workflows.

📋 Description

• Test framework ownership: Lead the design, development, and maintenance of automated test frameworks spanning backend services and UI, built to scale with a fast-growing product. • Test strategy: Own and drive test strategy across services and features, ensuring coverage is thorough and tied directly to product goals, not just ticket checkboxes. • Cross-functional influence: Work closely with engineering and product to shape features early, advocate for testability, and align the team on what "quality" means for this product. • Architectural input: Sit in on architecture and design discussions, bringing a testability and reliability lens before code gets written, not after. • CI/CD integration: Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.) so engineers get fast, high-confidence feedback on every change. • Exploratory testing: Run exploratory testing to catch usability issues, edge cases, and regressions that automation won't find on its own. • Parallel execution: Move across multiple projects at once in a startup environment where priorities shift, without losing rigor.

🎯 Requirements

• Experience depth: 7+ years in QA or software testing, including 2+ years operating at a senior or staff level. • Programming ability: Strong hands-on skills in at least one of Go, Python, or JavaScript, used for building automation and tooling, not just scripting one-off checks. • AI-assisted QA workflow: Daily use of AI tools for reviewing PRs and design docs, writing test plans, and automating test cases, paired with the judgment to know when to trust the output and when to verify it yourself. • Ownership mindset: You spot what needs to happen and drive it forward without waiting to be told. • Startup fluency: Proven ability to stay calm under ambiguity and juggle competing priorities in a fast-moving environment. • Communication: Strong written and verbal skills, with the ability to advocate for quality across engineering and product. • CI/CD depth: Deep understanding of CI/CD systems and hands-on experience integrating automated test suites into pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar). • Kubernetes fluency: Working knowledge of Kubernetes environments and distributed systems, or a strong aptitude and willingness to learn quickly. • Debugging skill: Excellent analytical and debugging ability, particularly for backend and infrastructure-related issues.

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive Salary: We offer a competitive compensation package, including equity. • Platinum-Level Insurance: Health, dental, vision, and life Insurance, including plans for you and eligible dependents (benefits vary depending on country). • Flexible Working Schedule: You have a doctor’s appointment or need to head to the supermarket to get groceries at 2pm? We won’t have an issue with that. To us, results matter more than clocking in and out at the same time every day. • Workplace Flexibility: We’re very flexible about where you work. We know things can change in life and we’re happy to adjust the work environment for you along the way.
