Senior Automation QA Engineer
About On The Spot
About the team
Orca Security is a cloud security platform built for engineers who care about visibility, context, and speed. Founded in 2019 by former Check Point leaders, Orca has raised $630M+ and reached unicorn status in 2021.
Orca's platform scans the entire cloud environment - AWS, Azure, GCP, and more - and surface what actually matters by prioritizing findings on real-world context: exposure, privilege, and potential impact. Cloud teams choose Orca because it deploys fast, scales with real infrastructure, and stays out of the way.
About the role
As a Senior Automation QA Engineer, you'll work across the full quality stack: framework architecture, test infrastructure on AWS / Azure / GCP and other cloud providers, AI tooling, and cross-team quality partnership - with the autonomy to shape how each one runs.
You’ll join a small, focused QA team that helps define how we test, and which modern tools (including AI) we adopt.
The role covers five main categories. Some weeks lean toward framework and code, others toward infrastructure or AI tooling - that variety is by design, and it's what makes the role interesting.
[01]
Responsibilities
- Test automation across the stack - extend our Python automation suite, running in CI against AWS, Azure, and GCP scanners on every PR. You'll own framework decisions, choose tooling, and set the code-quality bar
- Test infrastructure & CI/CD - own the pipelines, environments, and cloud accounts your tests run on. Integrate with monitoring, configure provider-specific assets, and resolve infrastructure issues end-to-end.
- AI-assisted testing & tooling - help shape how QA at Orca uses AI: build and refine Claude Code agents and skills, evaluate emerging AI QA tools, and turn experiments into reusable team capability
- Cross-team quality partnership - embed with product teams during design and code review, push testability upstream (shift-left in practice), and consult on quality decisions across multiple parallel product contexts
- Quality leadership - partner with Product and Engineering on release-readiness, help your QA peers and partner product teams raise the quality bar through shared patterns, design reviews, and worked examples, and shape the standards and metrics (DORA-adapted, defect escape rate) the team operates by
Requirements
- 5+ years in test automation, including production-grade Python
- Hands-on experience with at least one major CI/CD tool - you can debug it, not just run it
- Strong REST API testing background
- Working experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS, Azure, or GCP)
- English at B2 or higher - you'll lead technical discussions across distributed teams
Nice to have
- Playwright (preferred) or Selenium
- GraphQL testing experience
- TypeScript or JavaScript experience
- Contract Testing experience
- Prior experience in security, compliance, or infra-heavy domains
Why Orca QA specifically
- Real ownership - senior engineers here shape framework direction, tooling, and quality standards, not just write tests
- AI-forward team - we run an active AI adoption initiative (Claude Code agents, evaluation of AI QA tools). You'll help decide how QA at Orca uses these tools
