WAF Automation Quality Assurance Specialist

Key Responsibilities:

•       Develop and maintain test strategies and test cases for WAF configurations delivered via Terraform and GitLab pipelines.
•       Validate that WAF policies deploy successfully and behave as expected across staging and production environments (e.g., rules applied, traffic allowed/blocked, logging enabled).
•       Design and implement automated checks where possible (e.g., policy linting, negative/positive test traffic, regression tests) integrated into GitLab CI/CD.
•       Collaborate with developers, network engineers, and security teams to define acceptance criteria for WAF automation changes.
•       Investigate defects, configuration drift, and unexpected WAF behavior; document findings and work with engineers to resolve issues.
•       Contribute to documentation of quality standards, test procedures, and go/no-go criteria for WAF-related releases.
 
Qualifications:

•       Minimum of 4 years of experience in quality assurance/testing, infrastructure automation, network engineering, or an adjacent discipline.
•       Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code concepts and tools (Terraform preferred) and CI/CD workflows (GitLab or similar).
•       Understanding of WAF concepts, HTTP/S traffic, and basic networking (e.g., hostnames, TLS, load balancers, firewall rules).
•       Experience designing and executing test cases for system or infrastructure changes; exposure to automation of tests is a plus.
•       Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a focus on reproducible, well-documented defects.
•       Effective communication and collaboration skills; able to work across security, network, and application teams.
