Challenge

We’re looking for Senior QA / Test Engineers to own the validation of the deterministic decision path across every rule and input.

You will be responsible for verifying that PERMIT / DENY / ESCALATE outcomes resolve correctly across the full governance rule library and the custom-rule intake path. You will build traceable functional coverage, validate end-to-end workflows, and support the Security / QA Lead with adversarial and audit-chain testing.

Precision is critical: on a deterministic control plane, a single incorrect outcome is considered a defect.

The engagement is full-time, approximately 12 weeks, and remote within.

Responsibilities

• Author and execute functional test cases across the full governance rule library, verifying correct PERMIT / DENY / ESCALATE outcomes.

• Test the custom-rule intake path end to end, ensuring that a submitted rule resolves to a real engine record through the live path.

• Build negative and edge-case test coverage focused on the actions the platform is designed to stop.

• Support the Security / QA Lead with multi-tenant isolation and audit-chain testing.

• Maintain a traceable mapping between test cases, rules, and requirements.

• Log defects with clear reproduction steps in GitHub Issues.

• Re-test fixes through the freeze-audit CI gate.

Mandatory Skills

• Solid QA / Test Engineering experience with API-driven backends.

• Working knowledge of Python and the ability to read source code to design precise tests.

• Experience with rule-based, workflow, or decision-logic systems where correctness is explicitly defined.

• Experience with Postgres / SQL for validating persisted state.

• Comfortable working with Docker and CI-based test execution, such as GitHub Actions or similar.

• Disciplined approach to reproducible defect reporting.

•  English B1

Nice to Have

• Test automation experience against Python services.

• Exposure to authorization or policy-engine testing.

• Interest in security testing and developing further expertise in this area.

Team & Environment

• Focus: Functional correctness of the deterministic decision path.

• Seniority: Senior

• Reports to: Senior Security / QA Lead.

• Full-time engagement of approximately 12 weeks.

• Remote position within LATAM.

• Environment focused on precise, traceable, and reproducible testing.

• Close collaboration with the Senior Security / QA Lead on security and audit-chain coverage.

Success in the First 12 Weeks

• Full-coverage functional test suite across the rule library, executed with documented results.

• Custom-rule intake path verified end to end.

• Traceable test-case library successfully handed over.

• Clean defect flow through green CI.
