Join Fortinet, a cybersecurity pioneer with over two decades of excellence, as we continue to shape the future of cybersecurity and redefine the intersection of networking and security. At Fortinet, our mission is to safeguard people, devices, and data everywhere. We are currently seeking a dynamic QA Test & Automation Engineer to contribute to the success of our rapidly growing business. As part of this mission, you’ll be joining the FortiDLP team—an innovative group focused on protecting sensitive data through intelligent, high-performance systems.

The FortiDLP platform collects millions of data points per second. We protect people and data anywhere, and innovative companies worldwide use FortiDLP for human-centric data loss protection. Our users need a way to spot trends in this data, search for security breaches, and take effective action. We need to be confident in the quality of our products and the information provided to our customers. This is an opportunity to join our QA Test and Automation Team, who are a critical part of the success of the business and are involved in the full development lifecycle. High confidence in quality allows us to move fast when delivering software.

The team’s purpose is to maintain and improve the quality of the FortiDLP Infrastructure and Agent, ensuring that our product is functional, reliable and intuitive to use. Your job will involve developing tools and applying manual techniques to test our software. We’re very proud of our development culture across R&D. We put security first, and our QA process ensures that our code is always of the highest quality.

As a Test Engineer, you will:

• Build and use test frameworks and tools
• Expand our existing automated test coverage and improve existing regression tests
• Investigate the limits of the products in terms of scalability, endurance and interoperability
• Test new features to check that they work, fit requirements and are user friendly
• Collaborate with the whole of R&D on all areas of the product
• Carry out code reviews for improved code quality, maintainability and optimisation
• Proactively find problems before our customers do
• Make a valuable contribution from day one

We Are Looking For:

An insightful and influential collaborator to join our team. We encourage you to apply for this position if you have some of the following qualities:

• Some experience in software development or a related field
• The desire to learn new things and new technologies
• Curiosity to take things apart in order to understand how they work
• Strong troubleshooting, attention to detail and communication skills
• Outstanding technical ability or achieved excellent academic results from a recognised university
• Proficiency in English

It’s also a bonus if you have experience of:

• Programming and scripting, either in a job role or outside of work
• Development of test strategies and creation of test cases
• Frontend and API testing
• Scale and performance testing, e.g. profiling or benchmarking
• Cloud platforms, containerisation and virtualisation
• Tooling like Terraform and Kubernetes

However, all experience levels will be considered. We use a wide variety of different languages and frameworks in the QA Test and Automation Team, with a focus on Go and Python. Our frontend is developed in Elm. It’s not expected that you would be familiar with any of the languages we use, but you should be enthusiastic and willing to learn new things. We are looking for a team player who can think out of the box, enjoys solving complex problems and thrives working things out themselves, while not afraid to ask for help and learn from their teammates if they’re stuck.

Does this sound like you? We’d love you to apply, even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements and qualifications.
