We have built tremendous momentum across governments and commercial enterprises around the world, and it’s just the beginning. Recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best Startup Employers, Xage prioritizes creativity, collaboration, and innovation in pursuit of our mission. We are headquartered in Palo Alto, CA and have global teams across North America, EMEA, and APJ.
We’re passionate about solving problems that have positive, real-world consequences for the lives of everyday people. We hope you’ll join us in the fight against cyberattacks and safeguarding critical systems.
About the Role We are building the next generation of Xage’s QA Engineering function and are looking for two sharp, hungry automation engineers to grow into technical pillars of the team. These are not passive execution roles — we need people who are intellectually curious, pick up new domains fast, and take ownership of their work early.
You will work directly with the QA Engineering Manager, get hands‑on with a real security product from day one, and have a clear runway to grow into senior ownership. If you are early in your career but already think more like an engineer than a tester — this is the role for you.
Key Responsibilities Test Automation
Design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Python/pytest
Own end-to-end and integration test suites covering core product features
Architect Page Object Models and data-driven test strategies
Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitHub Actions)
Drive reduction of hardcoded sleeps, flakiness, and test duplication across the test suite
Test Planning & Test Execution
Participate in sprint planning and release planning to define test scope and entry/exit criteria
Write test plans and test strategies for new features — covering functional, regression, edge case, and negative scenarios
Break down requirements and user stories into structured, traceable test cases
Execute manual and automated test cycles across functional, integration, and regression suites
Maintain and triage test results — log defects clearly, track them to resolution, and verify fixes
Coordinate with developers and PMs to ensure test coverage aligns with release readiness criteriaContribute to sprint retrospectives with quality metrics and observations from the test cycle
Technical Investigation & Quality Engineering
Reproduce and root‑cause complex bugs in distributed, networked security products
Partner with developers to define testability requirements during design
Analyse test failure trends and surface systemic quality risks to leadership
Write clear, precise bug reports that accelerate resolution
Framework & Tooling
Contribute to internal QA tooling — test orchestration, reporting dashboards, infrastructure automation
Evaluate and introduce new tools or libraries where they solve real problems
Participate in architecture reviews for test frameworks
Cross-functional Collaboration
Work closely with dev, PM, and DevOps teams in an Agile environment
Support release readiness reviews and regression planning
Learn from and collaborate with senior engineers and the QA Manager — grow fast in a high‑trust environment
Skills & Experience
1–4 years of hands‑on QA automation experience (or strong internship/project portfolio)
Strong Python skills — you write clean, maintainable code, not just scripts
Experience with pytest, Selenium, or comparable automation frameworks
Solid understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, auth protocols)
Experience testing API‑driven or distributed backend systems
Proficiency with Linux environments — comfortable in a terminal
Experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent)
Sharp analytical mind — you trace problems to root cause, not just symptoms
Strong written communication — PRs, bug reports, and design docs are clear and precise
Preferred Experience:
Experience testing security products — IAM, PAM, Zero Trust, OT/ICS environments
Familiarity with Kerberos, NTLM, WinRM, Active Directory, or LDAP
Experience with ESXi / VM‑based lab environments
Basic scripting in Bash or PowerShell
Exposure to LLM‑assisted tooling, AI agents, or prompt engineering
This role has a base salary range of $100,000–$120,000.
Competitive salary and equity
Health, dental, and vision coverage
Visa transfer and immigration support
Opportunity to work closely with founders and executive leadership
High‑growth environment with significant market opportunity
