## Description

Cloud Security Engineering at Cisco drives the technology that is redefining how global enterprises securely and seamlessly connect their networks, applications, and hybrid workforces.

As a Quality Engineer on the Solution Engineering team, you will design, build, and maintain robust automated testing frameworks to validate complex, multi-service Cloud Native architectures from concept through post-launch.

Responsibilities:

- Evaluate and mitigate architectural risks across system functionality, performance, and scalability to prevent critical production regressions.

- Collaborate with cross-functional development and security teams to identify vulnerabilities, analyze root causes, and accelerate time-to-resolution for system-level stability issues.

- Drive continuous test innovation by benchmarking emerging technologies, libraries, and automation tools to elevate overall platform reliability.

Requirements:

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent practical experience).

- 4+ years of professional experience in software quality engineering, system testing, or test automation.

- Experience with programming and automation scripting using Python or Go (Golang).

- Experience testing cloud-native architectures utilizing Docker containers, Kubernetes orchestration, and public cloud platforms (e.g., Amazon Web Services/GCP).

- Experience with core networking protocols and VPN technologies (TCP/IP, SSL/TLS, DTLS, IPsec, or IKEv2).

Preferred Qualifications:

- Domain expertise in Security Service Edge (SSE), Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), SD-WAN, Secure Web Gateway (SWG), Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB), or Next-Generation Firewalls.

- Experience testing high-throughput distributed network services (load balancers, reverse proxies, caching engines, SSL termination, or application firewalls).

- Proven track record building and executing performance, scale, or chaos test suites (e.g., Locust, JMeter, or custom scale harnesses).

- Experience working in fast-paced Agile/Scrum environments with active participation in CI/CD pipeline integration and sprint retrospectives.

- Strong analytical problem-solving skills with effective technical communication across cross-functional engineering teams.

Benefits:

- Medical, dental, and vision insurance

- 401(k) plan with a Cisco matching contribution

- Paid parental leave

- Short and long-term disability coverage

- Basic life insurance

- Paid time away (vacation, holidays, sick time)

- Optional 10 paid days per full calendar year to volunteer

Salary Range: $128,600.00 to $184,900.00
