Roles and Responsibilities
1. Protocol & Backend Testing, Design and implement automated tests for systems
using:
● EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol)
● RDAP (Registration Data Access Protocol)
● DNS
● Validate protocol compliance against RFC specifications.
● Test backend APIs (REST, JSON, XML) using automated frameworks in Python and Java.
● Develop regression, integration, and system-level test suites.
● Perform negative testing, edge-case validation, and error-code verification
(including protocol-specific response codes).
2. Test Infrastructure Engineering, Build and maintain reproducible test
environments using:
● Docker and containerized infrastructure
● Mocked or simulated DNS and EPP servers
● Create protocol simulators and test harnesses to emulate:
● Registry systems
● Registrar integrations
● DNS resolution paths
● Support performance and concurrency testing scenarios.
3. Systems & Network Awareness
● Troubleshoot test failures at:
o Application layer
o Network layer
o DNS resolution layer
o Validate TLS configurations and certificate behavior.
● Understand and test secure DNS implementations; familiarity with DANE
(DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities) is a plus.
4. Collaboration & Quality Leadership
● Work closely with backend engineers and architects to:
● Define testability requirements early in design
● Improve observability and logging for test validation
● Contribute to CI/CD pipelines to enable automated validation on every build.
● Provide clear defect analysis with protocol-level precision.
● From time to time, attend and participate in meetings in the Los Angeles office.
● Other duties as assigned or requested.
REQUIRED:
Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities (KSAs)
● Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or related field (or
equivalent experience).
● 8+ years of experience in Software Engineering in Test, QA Automation, or
backend-focused testing roles.
● Strong hands-on experience with: EPP, RDAP,DNS
● Experience mocking or simulating: DNS servers and EPP servers
● Strong systems-level troubleshooting skills.
● Experience using Docker to build containerized test environments.
● Programming experience in: Java and Python
● Experience testing backend APIs and distributed systems.
● Understanding of: TLS, DNSSEC fundamentals, Network protocols
● Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to debug complex
software systems.
● Attention to detail and a passion for delivering high-quality software products.
● Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work
effectively in a team-oriented environment.
● Solid understanding of software development life cycle (SDLC) and agile
methodologies (e.g., Scrum, Kanban).
