EPAM is a leading global provider of digital platform engineering and development services. We are committed to having a positive impact on our customers, our employees, and our communities. We embrace a dynamic and inclusive culture.

Here you will collaborate with multi-national teams, contribute to a myriad of innovative projects that deliver the most creative and cutting-edge solutions, and have an opportunity to continuously learn and grow. No matter where you are located, you will join a dedicated, creative, and diverse community that will help you discover your fullest potential.

We are looking for a dedicated Senior Functional Tester to join the team as a Verification & Validation (V&V;) team member. You will own the evidence that platform deliverables work — installing, upgrading, and regression-testing the platform on clean clusters, debugging failed deployments, and helping move validation from manual checks toward repeatable, automated gates.

Responsibilities

- Spin up clean Kubernetes environments, run the platform installer (single-node and HA profiles, interactive and silent modes), and confirm every pod/service is healthy
- Perform installation, upgrade, rollback, regression, and integration testing of the platform and its Helm-packaged components
- Install, debug, and clean up Helm charts; troubleshoot failed deployments using kubectl, logs, and events
- Validate GitOps-driven deployments (Git-versioned configs reconciled through Flux), including upgrade, rollback, and backup/restore flows
- Run config checks and post-install smoke tests; define what "working" looks like for each deliverable
- Create test plans and test cases, log defects, retest fixes, and maintain regression suites for installer/CLI changes
- Contribute to automated post-deployment health checks and pipeline-integrated quality gates
- Produce test evidence suitable for a regulated (medical device / healthcare)



environment with formal validation and change control
- Participate in daily stand-ups and sprint ceremonies with a distributed, North America-based scrum team

Requirements

- 3+ years of experience in QA
- Solid background in installation, upgrade, regression, and integration testing
- Hands-on familiarity with Kubernetes and installing Helm charts
- Capability to debug deployments and clean up Helm releases/charts
- Proficiency in functional testing of containerized products, Docker, and Linux shell
- V&V; mindset — skills in designing test strategies and producing clear, traceable test evidence

- Clear, concise communication in English (B2); comfortable working asynchronously
- Flexibility to work within US Eastern (ET) business hours

Nice to have

- Experience with FluxCD and GitOps workflows
- Familiarity with AWS (EC2, ECR, VPC, IAM) and on-prem/virtualized setups (VMware vSphere, Proxmox)
- Knowledge of Terraform, Ansible, and infrastructure testing tools (Terratest, InSpec, or equivalent)
- Competency in test automation/scripting (Bash, Python) and CI (Jenkins)
- Exposure to regulated or compliance-sensitive environments (healthcare, medical devices) and basic Java stack knowledge
