Here are the jobs for 28th August 2026
1 Vonage — Lead Performance Tester (SDET)
Job Description Summary
- Owns automation across UI, API, performance, and mobile layers for a microservices-based communications platform, inside Vonage’s QA Centre of Excellence
- Required skills: Playwright (TypeScript), Cucumber/Gherkin BDD, REST/GraphQL API automation, K6 performance testing, AWS
- Experience required: 5–8 years in automation engineering or SDET roles
- Testing technologies: Serenity reporting, contract/schema validation, SLA/SLO checks
- Automation tools: Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI
- Programming languages: TypeScript, with Appium exposure for mobile (Android/iOS) a plus
Why This One Stands Out
This is a performance-and-automation hybrid role at a global CPaaS provider (Ericsson Group), and the JD is unusually specific about the exact toolchain (K6, Playwright, Serenity) rather than generic buzzwords — a sign the team already has a mature QA practice you’d be plugging into, not building from zero.
2 State Street (Charles River Development) — Principal QA Performance Engineer, AVP
Job Description Summary
- Senior member of a Performance Engineering scrum team benchmarking Charles River’s investment management platform
- Required skills: LoadRunner, JMeter, or NeoLoad; Dynatrace observability; root cause analysis; Azure Cloud
- Experience required: 12–15 years in performance engineering
- Testing technologies: AWR/ASH reports, SQL execution plans, thread/heap dumps, GC logs
- Automation tools: Jenkins, TeamCity, Ansible, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes
- Programming languages: C#, Java, SQL, Python, PowerShell, Bash
Why This One Stands Out
An AVP-level title at one of the world’s largest custodian banks, with a job description that reads like it was written by the hiring manager, not HR — it names the actual product (Charles River IMS), the actual monitoring stack, and the actual escalation chain you’d own. Rare to see this level of specificity paired with a formal banking title track.
3 Autodesk — Principal QA Engineer
Job Description Summary
- Leads quality strategy and automation-first practices across cloud-native, distributed applications, with a mandate to drive AI-assisted testing adoption org-wide
- Required skills: Playwright, Cypress, PyTest, REST Assured, microservices testing, Docker/Kubernetes
- Experience required: 9+ years in Quality Engineering, including 3+ years in technical leadership
- Testing technologies: performance/scalability/load testing, cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP)
- Automation tools: Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions
- Programming languages: Java, JavaScript, Python — plus explicit expectation of using GitHub Copilot, Claude, or Cursor for test development
Why This One Stands Out
This is one of the clearest examples of a legacy engineering org formally baking AI-assisted testing into a Principal-level mandate rather than treating it as a nice-to-have — the JD explicitly names the AI tools candidates are expected to use. Salary transparency language is also present, which most enterprise postings in this batch skip entirely.
4 KLA — Engineer, Software Test Automation
Job Description Summary
- Builds AI-augmented automation frameworks (self-healing locators, intelligent test generation) for semiconductor manufacturing software
- Required skills: UI and API test automation, functional/regression/performance/reliability testing
- Experience required: Master’s degree in CS or related field (no fixed year count stated, but framed as an experienced IC/leader role)
- Testing technologies: qualification lifecycle automation across new and existing product features
- Automation tools: not tool-locked — role owns tool selection and evaluation
- Programming languages: not specified in JD; role emphasizes framework architecture over specific stack
Why This One Stands Out
KLA makes the equipment that makes every chip on earth, and this role sits at the unusually concrete intersection of AI-driven test automation and physical semiconductor fab validation — including travel to customer fab sites, which is a different flavor of “quality engineering” than the typical SaaS QA role. The posting also carries KLA’s own anti-fraud warning baked directly into the JD, a good trust signal.
5 Glean — Quality Assurance Engineer
Job Description Summary
- Assesses quality of Glean’s enterprise Work AI platform through manual and automation testing, with initial-level root cause analysis on bugs
- Required skills: responsive web testing across OS/browsers, Jira, Chrome DevTools
- Experience required: 2+ years as an automation and manual tester
- Testing technologies: RBAC/permission model testing, REST API exposure a plus
- Automation tools: existing in-house automation framework (candidate triages and extends it, not builds from scratch)
- Programming languages: Python or Java
Why This One Stands Out
Glean is a Forbes AI 50 / Fast Company Top 10 company that’s scaled to 1,000+ employees fast, and the interview process itself includes a mandatory AI-fluency exercise — meaning the hiring bar for this QA seat already assumes comfort working alongside AI tooling day one, not eventually.
6 Level AI — SDET
Job Description Summary
- Builds test automation for an enterprise AI-native contact center platform, working directly with a small, senior technologist team
- Required skills: test automation for enterprise products, proven track record building frameworks from scratch
- Experience required: not numerically specified, but framed as a “top-notch” SDET position, not entry-level
- Testing technologies: full-stack product testing (the JD frames the SDET as sitting at “the core of every new feature”)
- Automation tools: not specified in the public JD — confirm in interview
- Programming languages: not specified in the public JD — confirm in interview
Why This One Stands Out
Level AI is a Series C, Mountain View-headquartered startup building an LLM-driven contact center intelligence platform, and this SDET seat is explicitly positioned as a founding-team-adjacent role rather than one of many QA hires — higher risk than the enterprise names on this list, but a meaningfully different career bet.
7 Trellix — Software QA Engineer
Job Description Summary
- Designs automated tests for network security products — firewalls, threat detection systems, intrusion prevention systems
- Required skills: Python, Selenium, API testing, network security domain knowledge
- Experience required: 3–5 years as a Software QA Automation Engineer
- Testing technologies: Wireshark, IXIA, Breaking Point, virtualization/sandboxing testing
- Automation tools: in-house automation framework and long-term automation strategy ownership
- Programming languages: Python
Why This One Stands Out
This is a genuinely specialized QA niche — testing security appliances against real threat traffic rather than testing a typical web app — at a company protecting 53,000+ customers. It’s a solid mid-level entry point into cybersecurity-flavored QA, a track that’s harder to break into than generic SaaS testing.
