About the Role
As our platform continues to scale, we are investing heavily in our infrastructure, reliability, and deployment capabilities.
We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Quality Engineer to work within our Infrastructure Platform team, ensuring that our systems are reliable, scalable, observable, and safe to release. This is an exciting new role for us at Dayshape and an opportunity to help shape how we approach infrastructure quality as we continue to scale.
This role will focus on defining and putting in place our approach and strategy for testing infrastructure, infrastructure deployments, and the non-functional aspects of our platform. You will take ownership of building confidence in how our infrastructure and systems behave under real-world conditions, including failure, load, change, and recovery.
You will play a leading role in establishing and embedding quality practices across infrastructure engineering, working closely with engineers to improve testability, observability, resilience, and release confidence. As a senior member of the team, you will be expected to bring strong technical judgement, challenge existing approaches where appropriate, and help set the standard for infrastructure quality.
This role does not own production boundaries in the way an SRE role would, and it is not an on-call or incident management/coordination position. It is also distinct from a traditional product QA role. Your focus will primarily be on:
Infrastructure changes, including Infrastructure as Code (IaC), environments, and pipelines
System behaviour under failure, stress, and degraded conditions
Deployment orchestration, release safety, and rollback capability
What You Will Do
Lead on designing and implementing pragmatic testing approaches and quality gates for infrastructure and platform changes
Validate deployment workflows end-to-end, including:
CI/CD pipeline behaviour
IAC release promotion (sandbox -> dev -> internal QA -> staging -> prod)
IAC version and software version compatibility
Rollback and recovery mechanisms
Coach engineers and SREs around making sure platform changes are:
Deployable with confidence (repeatable, reliable releases)
Observable (clear signals via logs, metrics, and alerts)
Resilient under failure conditions
Identify and test failure scenarios and edge cases, such as:
Pipeline failures or partial deployments
Misconfiguration of infrastructure or environments
Service degradation or dependency failures
Perform exploratory testing of infrastructure changes, focusing on:
Deployment risks
Integration points between services and environments
