About the Role
We are seeking a Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to lead System-Level and Infrastructure Testing locally in our San Jose lab.

What You'll Do
Build and maintain end-to-end local test environments in San Jose, mirroring edge-to-cloud topologies, hardware interfaces, and localized system deployments
Architect local Kubernetes clusters (e.g., K3s, Kind, Minikube) and cloud emulator harnesses (AWS LocalStack, Azure Edge) to enable fully offline, system-level validation
Profile OS-level resource usage (CPU, memory leaks, I/O bottlenecks, network latency) and run hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) or local service-level automated suites
Maintain the physical/virtual San Jose lab environment, building automated orchestration tools to reset, patch, and reconfigure test rigs deterministically
What You'll Bring
8+ years in system-level SDET, platform engineering, or embedded/infrastructure software testing
Advanced programming skills in C++, Python, or Go with strong Linux internals, networking protocols (TCP/IP, sockets), and IPC knowledge
Deep hands-on experience with Kubernetes, container runtimes, and local cloud emulation (AWS/Azure)
Experience in managing physical or virtual lab testbeds, edge hardware topologies, or local hardware-software integration loops

Unlimited paid time off, 12 paid holidays including 4 global VeeaMe Days for self-care and 24 paid volunteer hours annually through Veeam Cares
Paid parental leave: 8 weeks for all parents, 16 weeks for birthing parents
Medical, dental, and vision coverage starting on your first day
Mental health support, therapy sessions, and digital wellness tools via our Employee Assistance Program
401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions
Fertility, adoption, and surrogacy support through Maven, plus paid volunteer time
AirVet: 24/7 virtual veterinary care at no cost
Legal services, identity protection, and supplemental health insurance options
Tax-advantaged spending accounts for healthcare, dependent care, and commuting
