Senior Software Engineer in Test — C#.NET Distributed Systems
Hyderabad, India | Hybrid — 3 days onsite
Role Overview
Nasuni is expanding the DryvIQ engineering team in Hyderabad. DryvIQ brings intelligent content discovery, classification, sensitivity detection, and policy-driven governance to enterprise unstructured data across cloud and on-premises repositories.
We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer in Test (SDET) to strengthen and scale automated quality across DryvIQ's complex, Kubernetes-based distributed application environment.
This is a hands-on senior engineering role with a primary focus on C#/.NET test automation. You will maintain, extend, and improve existing automation frameworks, build high-value automated coverage, strengthen test infrastructure, and help automation scale as the DryvIQ platform evolves. You do not need to have built an automation framework from scratch; what matters is demonstrated depth improving and scaling automation in a complex software environment.
You'll work across APIs, integrations, distributed and asynchronous workflows, containerized deployments, and user-facing functionality. Python and PyTest experience is valuable as we expand reusable tooling and cross-team libraries, but C#/.NET is the primary technical stack for this role.
This role is for an engineer who approaches quality as a software-engineering problem, applying strong coding, debugging, systems thinking, and test-design judgment rather than focusing only on test execution.
What You'll Do
- Maintain, extend, and scale existing C#/.NET-based test automation frameworks supporting DryvIQ.
- Design and implement reliable automated validation across API, integration, system, UI, regression, and end-to-end testing layers.
- Improve framework architecture, reusable components, test utilities, test-data capabilities, diagnostics, reporting, and maintainability.
- Build automated testing for Kubernetes-based, containerized, distributed applications, including multi-service and asynchronous workflows.
- Identify automation gaps, product risks, flaky tests, and framework limitations and prioritize improvements based on engineering and release impact.
- Build automated validation for APIs, microservices, distributed processing, asynchronous jobs, cloud and on-premises repositories, connectors, and enterprise integrations.
- Validate installation, deployment, configuration, upgrade, recovery, and failure scenarios in containerized environments.
- Integrate automated validation into CI/CD pipelines and improve the speed and quality of release feedback.
- Diagnose complex failures using application logs, APIs, Kubernetes/container evidence, telemetry, exceptions, service behavior, and other system evidence.
- Partner with developers to improve testability and determine the appropriate balance of unit, API, integration, system, and end-to-end coverage.
- Create maintainable automation patterns and reusable libraries that can be adopted by developers and QA engineers.
- Contribute to Python/PyTest-based utilities, tooling, or shared libraries as cross-team automation capabilities evolve.
- Help QA teammates strengthen automation skills through pairing, code reviews, examples, and technical guidance.
- Use approved AI-assisted engineering tools where appropriate for test design, code generation, scenario discovery, debugging, and coverage analysis, while independently validating generated outputs.
- Develop appropriate testing and validation approaches for AI-assisted or non-deterministic functionality.
Qualifications
Must-Have
- 6+ years of software engineering, SDET, test automation, or quality engineering experience with substantial hands-on automation development.
- Strong hands-on programming and test automation experience using C# and .NET.
- Demonstrated experience maintaining, extending, troubleshooting, and scaling an existing test automation framework.
- Experience improving framework reliability, maintainability, reusable components, utilities, test infrastructure, or execution efficiency.
- Strong hands-on experience testing Kubernetes-based, containerized, distributed applications.
- Strong understanding of Kubernetes, containers, distributed-system behavior, service dependencies, asynchronous processing, and failure modes.
- Experience building automated validation across APIs, integrations, systems, and end-to-end workflows.
- Experience testing microservices, asynchronous processing, or comparable distributed workflows.
- Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to diagnose complex failures using logs, APIs, application exceptions, Kubernetes/container evidence, telemetry, and system behavior.
- Strong judgment about what to automate, at which testing layer, and when manual or exploratory testing provides greater value.
- Strong collaboration skills working with software engineers, Product, DevOps, and QA peers.
Preferred
- Hands-on experience with Python and PyTest, particularly for test utilities, reusable libraries, tooling, fixtures, or cross-team automation.
- Experience working in engineering environments where C#/.NET and Python-based automation coexist.
- Experience creating reusable automation components or shared libraries used across teams.
- Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or comparable UI automation technologies.
- AWS and/or Azure experience.
- AKS, EKS, K3s, or comparable Kubernetes environments.
- Cloud and on-premises connectors and storage integrations.
- SMB/NFS, S3, Azure Blob, or comparable enterprise data technologies.
- Postgres, ClickHouse, Keycloak, OAuth/OIDC, or similar technologies.
- Performance, load, reliability, resilience, or failure-injection testing.
- Test-data and test-environment architecture.
- Practical use of AI-assisted software or test-engineering tools with disciplined validation of generated outputs.
Ideal
- Significant experience improving automation for a complex product previously dependent on manual regression.
- Experience evolving an established automation framework as product scale, architecture, or engineering requirements changed.
- Strong experience testing distributed C#/.NET applications.
- Enterprise storage, content management, data governance, security, or data-infrastructure experience.
- Experience building reusable automation capabilities adopted across engineering or QA teams.
- Experience helping manual QA engineers become productive automation contributors.
- Experience testing large-scale distributed enterprise applications.
- Experience validating AI-enabled or non-deterministic functionality.
