    Join the Akamai Cloud Technology Group

    The Akamai Cloud Technology Engineering team owns, develops and manages the solutions used by our engineers globally. These solutions help to run one of the largest distributed systems in the world. We work closely with internal teams and stakeholders to create innovative, powerful, scalable, highly reliable and secure systems at scale.

    Partner with the best

    As a Senior SDET at Akamai, this role involves building, validating, and releasing software for ARM-based platforms. Collaboration with international cross-functional teams, including stakeholders and developers, ensures the delivery of high-quality software solutions.

    As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test, you will be responsible for:

    • ARM & System Engineering: Work with ARM64/AArch64 and Linux environments, troubleshooting architecture-specific issues across applications, libraries, operating systems, and system resources.
    • Developing automation and scripts with Python and Shell while enhancing CI/CD pipelines to optimize build reliability, validation, and release efficiency.
    • Investigating complex build and runtime failures using system-level tools, logs, core dumps, and debugging techniques to identify root causes.
    • Building infrastructure: Collaborating with compilers, linkers, dependencies, cross-compilation, and build systems like CMake, Make, GCC, and Clang.
    • Working in an agile environment and collaborating with geographically distributed engineering teams.

    Do what you love

    To be successful in this role you will:

    • Possess 5+ of relevant experience in SDET, software engineering, build/release engineering, or a related field within computer science.
    • Demonstrate hands-on expertise with Linux/Unix systems, ARM64/AArch64 architecture, and system testing using physical HIL setups or target emulators.
    • Have strong programming and scripting skills in Python and Shell, with experience developing automation for build, validation, and release processes.
    • Demonstrate expertise in CI/CD and source-control tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Git while resolving pipeline issues.
    • Exhibit outstanding debugging and root-cause analysis skills using tools such as GDB, strace, perf, valgrind, core dumps, and Linux utilities.
    • Have experience validating DevSecOps security controls (SonarQube, Blackduck, SBOM, Cosign) and automated testing of REST APIs, microservices, and SQL databases.
