About Your Role 

Tigera is hiring a Senior SDET to own quality for Calico’s converged networking,  the capability that lets enterprises run virtual machines and containers side by side on Kubernetes. Enterprises are migrating large VM estates onto Kubernetes at speed, and the networking carrying those workloads sits squarely on the critical path: a half-migrated cluster that silently drops traffic isn’t a bug someone files next sprint, it’s an outage. You will own the test strategy for that surface end to end, deciding what has to be proved before a release ships, building the Go automation and the environment harnesses that stand up hybrid Kubernetes and VM topologies on demand, and wiring it into CI so every build is exercised against real migration scenarios. This is a hands-on role for someone who treats quality as engineering, not gatekeeping: you’ll write the tests, build the tooling the team depends on, go hunting in the half-migrated and partially-failed states nobody specified, and be the person who can say with evidence whether a release is ready.

We are looking for an engineer who is as comfortable root-causing a packet drop across a cluster as writing the harness that reproduces it, and who turns every field escape into permanent coverage rather than a one-off fix.

For this position, we are looking to hire in Vancouver (Hybrid).

Vancouver Salary Range: CAD $130,000 to CAD $150,000

You Will:

Own the test strategy: Decide what has to be proved before a release is shipped, write the test plans and drive them to done across releases rather than waiting on the work to be assigned.
