Low-level Quality Lead

Description

About us

We are looking for an experienced QA engineer to lead and drive the Quality of our cloud sensor - the industry’s most efficient security tool for monitoring application-layer attacks in real time.

Oligo is a fast-growing cybersecurity startup transforming how organizations protect their applications, cloud environments, and AI systems at runtime. Backed by top-tier investors including Greenfield Partners, Red Dot Capital Partners, Lightspeed, Ballistic Ventures, and TLV Partners, we’re on a mission to make real-time security a reality.

Oligo’s industry’s leading runtime security platform built to stop attacks in real time without stopping the business. We transform security from passive visibility to active protection across applications, cloud services, workloads, and AI systems. By uncovering the deepest layers of what actually runs in production, Oligo helps organizations prioritize exploitable vulnerabilities, detect malicious behavior as it happens, and stop modern attacks in their tracks.

As our Sensor Quality Lead, you’ll own the quality of the Sensor - how we test it, and how we prove it works accurately and efficiently across the environments our customers run it in. There's no existing playbook for this role; you'll be the one writing it, tackling complex testing challenges in the Linux systems realm and building the automation that lets us ship with confidence.

In particular:

• Design and build automated test frameworks and specialized harnesses for the Sensor
• Build and maintain test environments across Kubernetes, Docker, and VMs, including test applications written in different languages, so a single build is validated everywhere it runs
• Build the test infrastructure that measures accuracy, performance, and resource consumption under high scale
• Define quality metrics for the Sensor, build the test infrastructure that measures them along with dashboards and visibility measures to surface them
• Collaborate with the Sensor teams, Product Managers, research, and other R&D teams to deliver end-to-end quality

Requirements

Qualifications

• 4+ years as an SDET or quality engineer, building production-grade testing infrastructure - with the confidence to do it again from zero. Hands-on managerial experience is an advantage.
• Understanding of Linux internals (memory, processes, syscalls) (advantage)
• Hands-on experience with Kubernetes, cloud environments (AWS/GCP/Azure), and Docker
• Strong scripting (Python, Bash), ability to read low-level code (Go/C/C++), and comfort writing SQL to analyze test and detection data
• Experience with CI/CD, infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Ansible), and observability tooling (Prometheus, Grafana)
• Team player with strong collaboration skills
• Experience with performance profiling (advantage)
