About the role
Life at Plume At Plume, we believe that technology isn't about moving faster, it's about making life’s moments better. Which is why we’ve built the world's first, and only, open and hardware-independent service delivery platform for smart homes, small businesses, enterprises, and beyond. Our SaaS platform uses WiFi, advanced AI, and machine learning to create the future of connected spaces—and human experiences—at massive scale. We now deliver services to over 60 million locations globally and have managed over 3 billion devices on our platform. We’re expanding rapidly, pioneering a new category, and we achieved our Series F funding in just four years. Our customers include many of the world's largest Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who look to Plume to help them evolve their smart home offerings while gleaning insights from their own data. With a bias for action and a love for being trailblazers,
the team at Plume embodies a combination of relentless curiosity and imaginative innovation. We challenge ourselves to think in ways that other companies don't, work to do what should be done (rather than what can), and if we can’t do it exceptionally well, we don’t do it. It’s how we've assembled a team of world-class builders, thinkers, and doers. And it’s how we’re reinventing what’s possible every day. As an SDET/Dev-QA Engineer at Plume, you’ll play a pivotal role in ensuring the functionality and performance of our edge security products. Collaborating closely with Dev & Automation teams, you’ll develop and execute comprehensive test plans, identify and document bugs, and contribute to the continuous improvement of our QA processes.

Write tests to ensure accurate handling of malformed packets, evasive traffic, and intrusion detection patterns. simulate security vulnerabilities (e.g., DNS tunneling, spoofing, port scanning) and evaluate detection effectiveness. Leverage and extend DPI tools (e.g., nDPI, Suricata, Zeek) for custom validation use cases. Partner with firmware developers to validate & test the access control logic.
