- Extensive experience with server and data center hardware testing and validation across Windows and Linux environments.
- Hands-on experience designing, implementing, and maintaining automated test frameworks and CI/CD pipelines, preferably using Azure DevOps.
Opportunity Overview:
This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge server hardware and security technologies that are deployed directly into the Azure fleet.

• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams on design reviews and test strategies
• Document test results, diagnostics, and technical findings with clarity and precision
• Analyze system requirements and translate them into scalable and reliable solutions
• Support deployment, validation, and post-implementation testing of production systems
The expertise you bring:
• 8–10+ years of experience in systems software engineering or related field
• Strong proficiency in C++ and Python
• Experience working with server-class hardware and data center environments
• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and Azure DevOps (ADO)
• Strong troubleshooting skills across both new and legacy systems
• Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software design principles
• Ability to work independently and adapt to shifting priorities
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or related technical field
What makes a candidate highly successful in this role:
• Demonstrates strong debugging capabilities across both hardware and software layers
• Comfortable working in open-source environments and contributing to shared codebases
• Experience with Rust or security-focused systems adds meaningful value
• Able to independently manage testing environments and drive outcomes with minimal oversight
