About The Role

• Increase deployment confidence and velocity by embedding automation and quality signals into everyday engineering work.
• Improve reliability of low-latency, distributed services running in Kubernetes by catching regressions early and validating failure modes.
• Eliminate “QA phases” by building rapid, team-embedded validation that runs continuously in CI/CD.
• Establish clear quality metrics across our microservice catalog so teams can see, own, and improve service health over time.

Who We Are HiddenLayer protects the world’s most valuable technologies from adversarial AI attacks. We were founded by AI professionals and security specialists with first-hand experience of how insidious adversarial AI attacks can be to detect and defend against. Determined to prove that these attacks were preventable, the team developed a unique, patent-pending, productized solution to support organizations in accelerating their adoption of AI securely.

Our dedication to innovation has been recognized by prestigious awards such as RSA's Innovation Sandbox Winner, CB Insights AI 100, CyberTech 100, and SC's Most Promising Early-Stage Start-up.

What You’ll Do

• Build and maintain automation (unit/integration/e2e) that enables continuous deployment with high confidence.
• Create test harnesses and frameworks to accelerate critical-path, upgrade, and failure-mode testing across microservices.
• Validate installation and upgrade workflows for Kubernetes deployments (Helm, manifests, customer-like configuration).
• Run environment and compatibility testing across cloud and customer setups (AWS/Azure, networking/storage/security variability).
• Track, publish, and operationalize quality metrics (coverage, flake rate, defect escapes, regression trends) for each service.
• Partner closely with Engineering, Product, and Security—communicate early, document risks, and seek alignment on release readiness.

Who You Are

• Experience shipping automation-first quality practices that support safe continuous deployment.
• Strong experience testing microservices / distributed systems, including integration points and failure scenarios.
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes and containerized workloads (Docker, Helm-based deployments).
• Familiarity with AWS or Azure environments and cloud-native debugging.
• Ability to contribute in at least one of: TypeScript/React, Go, or Python (to build/extend test tools and frameworks).
• Experience working in Agile delivery environments (iterative planning, continuous improvement).
• Strong communication skills; you proactively align stakeholders and surface tradeoffs.

Who You Are (preferred)

• Experience with low-latency/performance testing (p95/p99 regression detection, load testing, scalability validation).
• Familiarity with observability (metrics/logs/traces) and using telemetry to improve test signal and triage.
• Experience building quality dashboards and defining quality KPIs across multiple services.
• Exposure to ML/AI workflows or platforms (e.g., ML-Ops style integrations) and testing those integrations.
• Experience with contract testing, service mesh/API gateways, or event-driven systems.
