QA Automation Engineer, SASE Firewall
NETGEAR is looking for a QA Automation Engineer to play a key role in validating our next-generation cybersecurity platform, which spans technologies like SASE, NGFW, ZTNA, SWG, VPN, and SD-WAN. You will be responsible for developing end-to-end test automation, validating complex integrations across distributed systems, and ensuring platform reliability, performance, and security at scale. This role is critical to maintaining the quality and robustness of the entire solution stack, including desktop agents, backend services, secure networking layers, and cloud policy engines. Ideal candidates will have a strong background in system-level automation, networking, and security testing in CI/CD environments.
You will work at the intersection of security engineering, automation, and platform validation—building scalable, end-to-end test solutions that verify advanced capabilities across our SASE, Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), Zero Trust, and secure connectivity services. Your work will ensure the stability, interoperability, and performance of a distributed security platform spanning endpoints, networks, and cloud infrastructure.
This is a hybrid role, expected to be onsite 3 days a week in our Bangalore Office.
