Job description

Databases must keep going no matter what. At Cockroach Labs, quality is our number one feature. We are software engineers on a mission to push our product to new frontiers. Our work has a broad-reaching impact on the engineering organisation of over 100 engineers who rely on our tools and methodology to ship a top-notch quality product.

Test Engineering is expanding our investment in next-generation test automation and bug-finding techniques, utilising both randomised and deterministic testing. Note that this is not a QA/manual testing role; all Cockroach Labs engineers write tests and obsess about quality. Test Engineering is a cross-functional team that aims to enable and strengthen the engineering organisation by emphasising correctness and performance testing.

The work encompasses three primary focus areas: Test Infrastructure, Exploratory Testing, and Performance and Scalability. Speaking broadly, Test Infrastructure enables automated test execution, detection of performance regressions, fuzzing, and much more. Exploratory Testing enables new bug-finding techniques such as static and dynamic analysis, metamorphic testing, failure injection, and others. Performance and Scalability enables at-scale benchmarking.

Some examples of recent and future projects:

• framework utilising and
• Failure injection testing (e.g., , )
• Next generation of and
• Parallelised automated microbenchmarks via
• Developing a static analysis framework for concurrency bugs
• Large-scale benchmarking and performance testing
• Automated flaky test detection and quarantining

The ideal candidate will have worked with massively complex codebases and possesses broad experience in distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and automated testing.

• Develop test strategies and methodologies.
• Build and scale test infrastructure.
• Build tools and frameworks to find bugs in complex distributed systems.
• Build static and dynamic analysers.
• Perform at-scale cloud benchmarking.
• Prioritise and execute test suites that are representative of customers workloads.

In your first 30 days, you will become an integrated member of our engineering team. You ll become familiar with our production systems, software development workflows, and the architectures of CockroachDB and CockroachDB Cloud. We believe that it s essential for you to take the first month to get to know our technology and our company. You ll work on a starter project to help you learn about a particular area and start to get the lay of the land.

After your first month, you will align with the team s development objectives and own a medium-sized project to completion.

By the end of the third month, you will be a fully contributing member of the Test Engineering team. You will also have developed enough familiarity with our engineering processes to propose and scope future projects.
