Tigera provides Calico, a unified network security and observability platform to prevent, detect and mitigate security breaches in Kubernetes clusters. Tigera’s open-source offering, Calico Open Source, is the most widely adopted container networking and security solution.
Powering more than 100M containers across 8M+ nodes in 166 countries, Calico software is supported across all major cloud providers and Kubernetes distributions, and is used by leading companies including Discover, Chipotle, NBCUniversal, HanseMerkur, Box, Siemens Healthineers, Playtech, Royal Bank of Canada, and Bell Canada.
As our team grows, we are looking for colleagues who not only share our passion for this work and growing our company, but who will also strengthen our company values and help ensure that Tigera remains a great place to work. At our core, our focus is on our customers, who are the heroes of our story; on aiming high and staying nimble in how we get there; on continuous learning to drive our success; and on respecting, collaborating, and supporting each other on a daily basis.
If you are looking to help make a substantial impact, and our values and products align with your vision of your career growth, we want to hear from you!
Tigera is hiring a Senior SDET to own quality for Calico’s converged networking, the capability that lets enterprises run virtual machines and containers side by side on Kubernetes. Enterprises are migrating large VM estates onto Kubernetes at speed, and the networking carrying those workloads sits squarely on the critical path: a half-migrated cluster that silently drops traffic isn’t a bug someone files next sprint, it’s an outage. You will own the test strategy for that surface end to end, deciding what has to be proved before a release ships, building the Go automation and the environment harnesses that stand up hybrid Kubernetes and VM topologies on demand, and wiring it into CI so every build is exercised against real migration scenarios. This is a hands-on role for someone who treats quality as engineering, not gatekeeping: you’ll write the tests, build the tooling the team depends on, go hunting in the half-migrated and partially-failed states nobody specified, and be the person who can say with evidence whether a release is ready.
We are looking for an engineer who is as comfortable root-causing a packet drop across a cluster as writing the harness that reproduces it, and who turns every field escape into permanent coverage rather than a one-off fix.
For this position, we are looking to hire in Vancouver (Hybrid).
Vancouver Salary Range: CAD $130,000 to CAD $150,000
Own the test strategy: Decide what has to be proved before a release is shipped, write the test plans and drive them to done across releases rather than waiting on the work to be assigned.
With offices in San Francisco, San Jose, Vancouver (Canada), Cork (Ireland), and London (England), we have a thriving team of diverse individuals from all over the world.
