About the role

Product Assurance Engineer responsible for reliability-oriented testing to surface latent bugs, availability gaps, and performance cliffs, ensuring Oxide ships high-quality products through workload-driven testing, observability, chaos testing, and cross-team collaboration.

Responsibilities

  • Design and execute workload-driven stress tests, focusing on realistic production traffic patterns (high connection-rate workloads, micro-burst traffic, large-flow saturation, multicast, and adversarial packet patterns)
  • Instrument, observe, and correlate metrics to characterize and pinpoint system issues
  • Drive chaos-monkey-style tests to simulate hardware failure modes and control plane outages
  • Investigate availability and reliability gaps and produce reproducible failure reports
  • Work with engineers across the software stack to triage findings and verify fixes and mitigations
  • Improve the assurance infrastructure itself: scripts, harnesses, chaos tooling, and automated regression suites

Qualifications

  • Have deep familiarity with troubleshooting traffic issues at different network layers and characterising performance and reliability of network data paths
  • Comfortable with low-level debugging, reading packet captures and reasoning from raw protocol state
  • Enjoy hands-on work with test infrastructure
  • Track record of finding non-obvious reliability bugs in complex systems
  • Proficient in at least one scripting or systems language (Python, Rust, Go) for building test harnesses and automating workload generation
  • Enjoy writing clear bug reports, knowledge articles, and technical documentation
