Join Vonage and help us innovate cloud communications for businesses worldwide!

Why this role matters

Quality is at the core of everything we do at Vonage. If you're passionate about building impactful products and ensuring customer success, this is the place for you. Our platform handles nearly 1 billion API calls per month, and we need highly motivated engineers to drive automation, infrastructure resiliency, and security.

We're looking for Software Engineers who have transitioned into testing, process automation, and quality enhancement. In this role, you'll develop automated tools and tests to streamline software development and elevate product quality.

What you'll do

• Develop automated tests and test frameworks to enhance software quality.
• Conduct functional and non-functional testing, including performance, security, resiliency, and chaos testing.
• Optimize and improve CI/CD pipelines for faster and more efficient deployments.
• Identify and implement quality processes to enhance engineering efficiency.
• Automate various aspects of the software development lifecycle.
• Review code and designs, providing constructive feedback for improvement.
• Continuously upskill and mentor team members to drive growth and excellence.

What you'll bring

Our Tech Stack is broad, and can vary from API to API, therefore we are looking to speak with Engineers with 6+ years of experience across a number of the following areas (by no means do we expect you to have experience with all!):

• Strong automation testing expertise for REST APIs, with coding proficiency in Python or Java.
• Prior software development experience before transitioning into testing and automation is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with performance testing frameworks (e.g., Gatling, wrk2) and CI/CD tools like Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
• Experience working with Docker, Kubernetes, and Nomad for containerized environments.
• Familiarity with cloud platforms, particularly AWS, and infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and CloudFormation.
• Exposure to event-driven architectures and messaging systems such as Kafka.
• Experience with observability and monitoring tools like Grafana and Kibana.

What's in it for you?

• Attractive Discretionary Time Off
• Private Medical Insurance with optional dependent coverage
• Educational Assistance Reimbursement Program
• Opportunities for reimbursement for conferences, trainings, and other personal development events
• Maternity and Paternity Leave
• Ask recruiter for country specific information
