Position Description
Cloudbees, the leader in CI/CD (Continuous Integration and Delivery) and the company behind Jenkins, is seeking an experienced QE Engineer.
CloudBees Flow and CloudBees Core are complex products which span technologies ranging from distributed systems, clustering, databases, multi-thread processing, complex scheduling and much more.
This position requires testing Plugins which

• Integrate CloudBees CD-RO, the industry leading CDRA (Continuous Delivery and Release Automation) solution, with different Third party systems that span multiple domains starting from Code Checkin all the way to Delivery. Some examples include SCM (Github), Application Servers (Jboss), ITSM (Jira), Cloud Service Providers (AWS,GCP) and Container Management Systems (Kubernetes).
• Integrate CloudBees CI with CloudBees CD-RO for bidirectional integration, to facilitate integrated CI-CD pipelines that run across these systems.

This person will be responsible for the design as well as the implementation of these tests, the goal of which would be to exercise both the Integrations mentioned above. The scope of this testing would encompass Interface Testing as well as Acceptance Testing end to end, with emphasis on automating these tests. Automation involves authoring tests using the Groovy Spock Framework (for CloudBees Flow) and where necessary, the acceptance-test-harness (for CloudBees Core).
The Cloudbees Flow team places high value on quality with the expectation that the QE team serves as the ultimate gatekeeper for certifying the Release Readiness of the software. The ideal candidate is expected to think outside the box in terms of striking the right balance between automation, test coverage (functionality as well as performance of the software) and the speed of testing.
Desired Skills and Experience

Essential Skills

• 5+ years of experience testing software used for software delivery automation viz., Continuous Integration software and/or Application Release Automation software.
• Deep knowledge of writing automation tests using Groovy or Java. Ability to automate tests using Docker containers is key to this position.

• Ability to understand the setup and configuration of Third Party Software by reading documentation and creating docker containers for them (where applicable) for both LINUX, to assist in automation of tests.
• Testing plugins necessitate tests need to be authored and tested for multiple combinations as required – different applicable versions of the third party software, the deployment topology (Single/Cluster), Operating systems(WINDOWS/LINUX), Integration type (REST/CLI), Authentication Type (Basic/OAuth), Provisioning type (ON PREMISE/CLOUD) etc.,
• Familiarity with HTTPS, REST, HTML, JSON, and similar web-based development technologies.
• Familiarity with working with and configuring cloud providers (AWS, GCP).
