Job Title: Golang Developer SDET – Cloud Test Automation (API / Microservices)

Location: Remote – LATAM

Schedule: Full-time (40 hours/week), flexible within U.S. time zones

Start Date: ASAP

Contract: 6 months (possibility of extension or conversion)

About the Role

We are recruiting a Senior Golang Cloud SDET who specializes in building automated test frameworks for large-scale, event-driven, cloud-native systems.

This position requires someone who develops primarily in Go, is deeply familiar with AWS distributed architectures, and can independently design, implement, and optimize complex cloud testing solutions involving microservices, observability, synthetic data generation, and resilience patterns.

You will own end-to-end test automation strategy, framework development, and quality validation for highly distributed systems running at scale.

Key Responsibilities

Golang-Centric Test Framework Development

• Design, architect, and maintain automated test frameworks written entirely in Go (Golang).
• Build integration, contract, and end-to-end test systems for cloud microservices.
• Develop reusable Go test libraries and tooling adopted across multiple services.

Distributed Systems & Cloud Testing

• Test event-driven AWS architectures, including Lambda, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, Kinesis.
• Validate concurrency behavior, retries, resilience, backpressure, and race conditions.
• Perform deep debugging using logs, traces, and distributed observability tools.

Data-Driven & Schema-Based Testing

• Build synthetic data pipelines for deterministic and randomized scenario generation.
• Enforce schema compatibility (JSON, Protobuf, data models) across distributed services.
• Validate data integrity in multi-tenant environments and high-throughput workloads.

Automation Pipelines & Cloud Reliability

• Integrate Go-based test frameworks into CI/CD pipelines.
• Add monitoring, alerting, and documentation to ensure reliable execution at scale.
• Migrate legacy test suites to modern Golang-based frameworks (e.g., Pigeon V2 equivalents).

Cross-Functional Technical Collaboration

• Partner with backend engineers, SREs, and architects to design cloud test strategies.
• Champion quality engineering practices across distributed teams.
• Work with high autonomy, independently owning delivery from concept to execution.

Requirements

Technical Core Requirements

• 5+ years writing production-grade Go (Golang) as the PRIMARY language.
• 5+ years as SDET / Test Automation Engineer, focusing on backend or cloud systems.
• Proven experience building Go-based test frameworks and integration testing tools.
• Deep AWS knowledge, including:
• Lambda, SNS, SQS, DynamoDB, Kinesis (non-negotiable for this client).
• Experience testing microservices, asynchronous systems, and event-driven architectures.
• Expertise in:
• Synthetic test data generation
• Schema validation
• Data modeling fundamentals
• API, service-to-service, and integration testing
• Experience debugging distributed systems using structured logs, metrics, and tracing.
• Proven independence—experience working successfully in contractor or autonomous roles.

Soft Skills

• Strong problem-solving mindset and ownership.
• Excellent communication in English (conversational level acceptable).
• Highly reliable working in a remote, distributed team.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Playwright or other UI automation (nice-to-have).
• Background in security, SaaS, or highly distributed systems.
• Familiarity with multi-tenant architectures or data pipelines.
• Experience with Protobuf, JSON schemas, or event validation tooling.

Why Join Us

• 100% remote work across LATAM.
• Highly modern cloud-native engineering environment.
• Collaborate with world-class distributed systems teams.
• Opportunity for long-term engagement or full-time conversion.
