About The Team
Join a cutting-edge team at the intersection of AI, automation, and global user experience. We work closely with engineering, AI/ML, DevOps, and product teams to ensure seamless, multilingual product quality.

We're building intelligent automation frameworks that scale across languages and platforms—delivering globally ready products with precision, speed, and cultural relevance.

If you're passionate about AI-driven testing, cloud technologies, and automation at scale, we'd love to have you on board.

About The Role
As a Software Quality Engineer, you'll drive automation and validation for multilingual, cloud-native storage and backup products. This hybrid role blends QA expertise with domain knowledge in Storage, Backup, Virtualization, and localization.

You'll build scalable automation (Python, Robot Framework), simulate real-world language environments, and validate AI/ML-powered content — ensuring fast, accurate, and high-quality global releases.

Ideal for those who thrive on technical depth, cross-functional teamwork, and innovation in AI-driven localization testing.

How You'll Spend Your Time Here

• Design, develop, and maintain automated localization test frameworks for multilingual UI and content validation using Python, Robot Framework, or similar tools.
• Manage and generate test datasets using your understanding of NAS, SAN, Object Storage, and backup/restore configurations.
• Integrate AI/ML models for advanced analysis of localized content, including text, voice, and image-based quality validation.
• Build and execute test strategies across Storage, Backup, and Virtualization product lines that have a global reach.
• Automate localization quality checks to validate UI/UX consistency, layout integrity, cultural appropriateness, and linguistic accuracy.
• Simulate localized user environments using virtualization tools such as VMware, KVM, and Hyper-V.
• Define and implement end-to-end test methodologies and test plans that reflect both user expectations and technical requirements.
• Perform root cause analysis, log defects using tools like JIRA, and ensure timely resolution with relevant teams.
• Test REST APIs, microservices, and containerized applications using tools like Postman, REST Assured, etc.

We'd Love to Talk to You If You Have Many of the Following:

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Science or related field with 2-4  years of experience in QA Automation and Localization Testing.
• Proven experience testing system-level products involving storage, networking, or virtualization.
• A strong commitment to product quality and detail orientation.
• Expertise in Python programming and experience with tools like Robot Framework, Selenium, or Appium.
• Applied experience with AI/ML tools/libraries such as spaCy, Transformers, TensorFlow, OpenAI, or Google Translate APIs.
• Strong understanding of Storage, Backup, and Virtualization technologies.
• Experience working on Cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) including CI/CD integrations.
• Familiarity with i18n and l10n practices, and experience in localization tooling and workflows (e.g., Crowdin, Smartling, SDL Trados).
• Familiarity with Hypervisors (e.g., ESXi, Hyper-V, KVM).
• Knowledge of containerization tools like Docker and orchestration via Kubernetes.
• Comfortable working in Linux environments, with hands-on shell scripting skills.
• Strong test planning, execution, and problem-solving skills.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage priorities, and adapt to fast-paced environments.
• Fluency in English; knowledge of additional languages like Japanese, French, or Chinese is a plus.
• Experience using or validating LLM-based translation or testing tools like XTM is highly desirable.
• Demonstrated ability to leverage AI tools to enhance productivity, streamline workflows, and support decision making.
