Job Description

Senior SDET testing distributed backend systems for Welo Data’s global AI data services. Executing controlled API replay scenarios and documenting account lifecycle behavior.

Responsibilities:

  • Analyze distributed system APIs to validate correctness, consistency, and failure handling across services involved in account creation, data persistence, and related record-linking
  • Execute pre-approved request variations and boundary-validation scenarios using sanitized tracer payloads against designated staging endpoints
  • Investigate system behavior under malformed, malicious, or unexpected inputs and document findings clearly
  • Capture complete request/response evidence, including HTTP status codes, latency, headers, and payload bodies, subject to approved data-handling requirements
  • Validate near-real-time inline checks and longer-running background verification/risk pipelines
  • Verify data persistence, referential integrity, and correct linkage of related records and relationships
  • Execute controlled replay suites and compare expected versus observed API behavior
  • Correlate replay results with API schemas and network evidence produced by the Middleware SDET
  • Document observable account/CID lifecycle behavior and downstream state changes for handoff
  • Capture and archive test logs and evidence in a structured, retrievable format
  • Collaborate with backend engineering teams to reproduce, isolate, and validate fixes for distributed-system defects
  • Contribute to backend/middleware reliability test strategy, including failure-mode and chaos-style testing
  • Maintain traceability between test evidence, defects, and system requirements
  • Reconcile backend observations with frontend FSM and middleware/API evidence from earlier workstreams

Requirements:

  • Strong experience of 5-8+ years in testing distributed systems and analyzing inter-service API behavior
  • Hands-on experience with request payload tampering, fuzzing, or adversarial API testing techniques
  • Understanding of layered defense architectures, including synchronous/inline validation and asynchronous/background verification processes
  • Familiarity with testing data persistence and relational/hierarchical integrity in backend data stores
  • Demonstrated discipline in test log archival, evidence capture, and structured documentation practices
  • Solid understanding of backend/middleware architecture, failure modes, and system boundaries
  • Familiarity with API testing tools and scripting for building custom fuzzing/tampering test cases
  • Strong analytical and investigative skills for root-causing complex, systemic defects
  • Experience executing controlled API replay or staging validation is strongly preferred
  • Experience correlating API responses with observable application/account lifecycle states is preferred
  • Experience supporting audit, compliance, or evidence-based reporting requirements is a plus

Benefits:

  • Limitless Flexibility: Work on projects that fit your schedule
  • Access to diverse content types
  • Structured learning and career development opportunities
  • Career paths that can lead to permanent roles
  • Global community with real-time assistance from the Community Experience team
