QA/DevOps Engineer
IP Fabric • Prague or Remote EUAbout IP Fabric
Join a pioneering force in network automation!
At IP Fabric, we enable people to uncover the truth about their networks. Built by network professionals and industry experts, our innovative solutions are transforming how enterprises manage their networks. As a post-Series B company, we're expanding rapidly across Europe, the U.S., and beyond.
About The Role
At IP Fabric, correctness, performance, and reliability are not afterthoughts — they are core product features. Our platform continuously models large-scale, real-world networks, and customers trust its outputs to make critical operational and security decisions.
As a QA / DevOps Engineer, you are a key enabler of that trust. You sit at the intersection of software quality, automation, and platform reliability, working hand-in-hand with backend and network engineers to ensure that what we ship is not only fast to develop but safe, predictable, and production-ready.
This is not a manual testing role, nor a pure operations position. It is an engineering role with real architectural influence. Hands-on and creative.
What You’ll Do
Quality Engineering
- Design and evolve automated test strategies for complex backend systems (data processing/network device data mocks, pipelines, distributed components).
- Help to create testing frameworks and tools.
- Build and maintain integration, regression, and end-to-end tests that validate real network scenarios and edge cases.
- Work with network/backend engineers during design phases to ensure testability, observability, and clear contracts.
- Actively challenge assumptions and uncover failure modes before customers do.
- Help with data anonymization tools.
- Own and evolve Gitlab CI/CD pipelines, ensuring fast feedback, reproducible builds, and safe deployments.
- Own mock frameworks and test tools, Docker-related code, and staging environments of our team.
- Improve deployment automation and release confidence across environments.
- Partner on monitoring, alerting, and incident readiness, helping teams understand system behavior in production.
- Contribute to platform reliability by identifying bottlenecks, flaky tests, and systemic risks.
- Be a first-class member of the engineering team — participating in design discussions, code reviews, and retrospectives.
- Drive a culture where quality is shared ownership, not a separate phase
- Help define what “production-ready” truly means for the team
What You'll Need
- Strong engineering background with experience in test automation and/or DevOps for backend systems.
- Solid understanding of backend architectures and data mocking/testing.
- Experience with CI/CD systems, infrastructure automation, and modern deployment practices.
- Ability to think in terms of failure modes, edge cases, and system behavior under stress.
- Pragmatic mindset — you balance speed, quality, and risk rather than optimizing for a single dimension.
Our Tech Stack
- Backend services (Typescript) - no UI testing, yay!
- In-house test frameworks (Python, Typescript).
- API and event-driven architectures, asynchronous processing, and data-heavy workflows.
- Testing against networking labs (simulation of large networks).
