About the role
- LiveOps powers Drone as a First Responder (DFR) programs with live video streaming, teleoperation, fleet management, data management, third-party integrations, and a growing set of mission-critical capabilities.
- Engineering roles at BRINC require a high level of ownership and initiative, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and solve complex, undefined problems.
Responsibilities
- Own end-to-end and regression testing for core LiveOps features, including live video streaming, teleoperation, fleet management, data management, and third-party integrations.
- Validate IAM and security controls across the platform, including Amazon Cognito, multi-tenant authentication and authorization, and Lambda authorizers, to support SOC 2 compliance and safeguard sensitive public safety data.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to deliver fast, reliable quality feedback and gate releases into production.
- Build and maintain test infrastructure, environments, and test data to enable repeatable, high-quality testing.
- Design and execute performance, load, and reliability testing for real-time, low-latency services such as live video streaming and teleoperation.
- Partner with backend, frontend, cloud, and device software engineers to define test strategy and acceptance criteria, shifting quality earlier in the development cycle.
- Triage failures, perform root-cause analysis, track defects, and produce clear quality metrics and release-readiness reports, while championing testing and quality best practices across the team.
Requirements
- 5-12 years of experience in software test engineering, SDET, or quality engineering, building automated testing for web and cloud platforms.
- Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, or a similar field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Strong programming skills in TypeScript and Python, with the ability to write and maintain production-quality test code.
- Hands-on experience building web and API test automation with Playwright, including end-to-end suites built from the ground up and reporting frameworks that clearly surface results.
- Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, working comfortably in Linux and bash environments.
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and testing distributed, service-based architectures.
- Strong communication and documentation skills, with the ability to collaborate across engineering teams and influence quality practices.
Skills
- Experience testing real-time or streaming systems, such as live video (WebRTC/RTSP), WebSockets, or low-latency data pipelines.
- Experience standing up end-to-end test automation from scratch in a highly ambiguous, fast-paced environment such as a startup.
- Experience testing cloud platforms that interact with hardware, IoT, or robotics devices.
- Experience with performance and load testing tools (e.g., k6, JMeter, Locust, or Gatling).
- Experience validating third-party API integrations and contract testing.
- Background in the drone, robotics, UAV, or public safety domain.
- Experience testing serverless architectures, particularly AWS Lambda and DynamoDB Streams.
- SOC 2 or other security compliance awareness, including experience testing in regulated or audited environments.
- Try the hard stuff
- Be innovative
- Invent the future
- Move fast
