We bring these commitments to life through three core behaviors: ownership and collaboration, trust through outcomes and impact, and a challenge culture with ongoing feedback. Ready to make an impact at the company pioneering security transformation in the AI era? Join us at Zscaler.
What you’ll do (Role Expectations)
- Design and develop scalable, reusable, and maintainable test automation frameworks using an AI-first development methodology
- Develop and execute end-to-end tests to ensure seamless operation of ZDX components, including cloud services, analytics dashboards, APIs, and user-facing applications
- Collaborate with engineering and DevOps teams to integrate testing pipelines into CI/CD workflows, ensuring faster release cycles without compromising quality
- Utilize analytics tools, logs, and testing outputs to identify bottlenecks and troubleshoot issues systematically
- Continuously refine testing methodologies to improve coverage, detect issues earlier, and maximize efficiency
- You thrive in ambiguity. You're comfortable building the path as you walk it. You thrive in a dynamic environment, seeing ambiguity not as a hindrance, but as the raw material to build something meaningful.
- You act like an owner. Your passion for the mission fuels your bias for action. You operate with integrity because you genuinely care about the outcome. True ownership involves leveraging dynamic range: the ability to navigate seamlessly between high-level strategy and hands-on execution.
- You are a problem-solver. You love running towards the challenges because you are laser-focused on finding the solution, knowing that solving the hard problems delivers the biggest impact.
- You are a high-trust collaborator. You are ambitious for the team, not just yourself. You embrace our challenge culture by giving and receiving ongoing feedback—knowing that candor delivered with clarity and respect is the truest form of teamwork and the fastest way to earn trust.
- You are a learner. You have a true growth mindset and are obsessed with your own development, actively seeking feedback to become a better partner and a stronger teammate. You love what you do and you do it with purpose.
What We’re Looking for (Minimum Qualifications)
- Foundational understanding of AI/ML technologies and experience leveraging, securing, or positioning AI-driven solutions to optimize outcomes within your functional domain
- 4+ years of experience in automation testing, preferably within cloud or SaaS environments
- Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or JavaScript for building automation and testing solutions, alongside familiarity with testing tools and performance analysis
- Experience with cloud platforms including AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud alongside containerization technologies like Docker and Kubernetes
- Experience integrating testing workflows into CI/CD pipelines using tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, or similar systems
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
- Experience leveraging AI coding assistants, automated code review tooling, or LLM-assisted development workflows to optimize software architecture and accelerate delivery cycles
- Good understanding of data platforms, SQL, and ETL frameworks to support scalable data ingestion, transformation, and querying
- Solid understanding of networking protocols, diagnostic tools like Wireshark or TCPDump
