Chaos Test Engineer

We are seeking a Chaos Test Engineer professional specializing in the practice of Chaos Engineering. This engineer’s work focuses on experimenting with distributed systems to identify weaknesses and improve their resilience by subjecting the systems to adverse conditions in a controlled manner to observe how they respond and ensure they can handle unexpected failures without significantly affecting their performance. Responsibilities: Chaos Experiment Design: Planning and designing experiments that simulate system failures, such as service outages, network latency, packet loss, etc. Experiment Execution: Implementing and executing these experiments in test or controlled production environments. Monitoring and Analysis: Monitoring system behavior during experiments and analyzing results to identify weak points. Documentation and Reporting: Documenting findings and providing detailed reports with recommendations to improve system resilience. Automation: Developing scripts and tools to automate the execution of chaos experiments. Collaboration: Working with development, operations, and security teams to implement improvements based on experiment results. Key Skills: Knowledge of Distributed Systems: Understanding how distributed systems work and potential failures that can occur. Programming and Scripting: Skills in languages such as Python, Go, and other scripting languages. Chaos Engineering Tools: Familiarity with tools like Chaos Monkey, Gremlin, Litmus, and others. Data Analysis: Ability to analyze experiment results and draw useful conclusions. Communication: Ability to communicate findings and recommendations to technical and non-technical teams. Problem Solving: Ability to identify and solve complex problems in distributed systems.
