Senior Python Developer (System Integration testing)

Network Optix (Nx) is a powerhouse in video software development, driven by a mission to empower the creation of intelligent video-based solutions and products capable of converting video into actionable data. Over a decade in the making, the Network Optix Enterprise Video Platform helps innovative organizations rapidly and affordably build world-class, custom-tailored, enterprise-scale video products and solutions.

We have locations in Walnut Creek, CA, Burbank, CA, and Oregon in the USA, and distributed teams around the globe (Taiwan, Australia, France, Spain, and Serbia to name a few). Nx is profitable and actively invests in expanding into new domains. We are growing our teams cross-functionally and across the globe.

Our product is a distributed cross-platform video management system (VMS). The mission of our team is to constantly ensure and maintain the high quality of our product.

We develop large-scale integration tests and make them work robustly, fully unattended. Because our quality standards are high, we have a well-developed infrastructure for integration testing, which we are constantly expanding and improving. We have a great engineering culture and no untouchable legacy code.

We’re looking for engineers with diverse sets of skills to bring a unique experience to the team. We’re interested in candidates with expertise in software design and architecture, Windows or Linux automation, Web interface automation, network programming, and system programming.

We’ve done a lot; our tools fully automate:

• Creating and running VMs with Windows and Ubuntu
• Managing ARM-based RPi and NVIDIA Jetson just like with VMs
• Configuring Windows via via WinRM/WSMan/WMI and Linux via SSH
• Connecting devices and VMs in networks
• Configuring SMB and iSCSI network shares
• Working with physical cameras and running our virtual cameras
• Installing and configuring the product, connecting its instances into systems
• Controlling the desktop and mobile client GUI with our own Qt-based tooling
• Working with our cloud services via API and Web automation
• Controlling the web interface of the cloud services with WebDriver
• Video and audio analysis with ffprobe and VLC
• Collecting product logs, browser logs, OS logs, hypervisor logs, network traffic dumps, crash dumps and backtraces and other diagnostic information

The way we work:

• Python 3.10+
• Git (with clean history)
• Pre-commit reviews (strict sometimes), linters and tests
• Design reviews
• Professional growth, continuous learning

Our values:

• Robust and clear code is more important than doing everything quickly. Our guidelines really work
• Stability and proper operation are more important than new functionality
• Understanding business value and common sense is more important than formal performance

Hundreds of tests run for each change into the product in various environments. Thousands run every night. But there’s more to do:

• Infrastructure development to run more tests and get results faster
• Cloud services testing and deployment
• Running tests on macOS
• Making tests more stable and robust. We solve problems even if they’re hardly reproducible, comb through logs, dumps and backtraces, use strace and procmon, read the docs and apply logic
• Testing VMS server embedded into cameras
• New tools for developers of the product, QA personnel and support engineers

What we’re looking for:

• A high level of computer science and programming knowledge
• Experience with Python
• Experience with troubleshooting using logs, dumps, and backtraces
• 5+ years of full-time commercial experience

Highly desirable (at least one is required):

• Software design and architecture
• Windows or Linux administration and automation
• Network programming
• System programming

We are offering:

• Competitive remuneration
• Working with top industry experts in our international R&D team
• Paid leaves
• Flexible working hours
• Hybrid or onsite work mode in our office in New Belgrade
• Employment or B2B contract as you prefer
• Medical insurance
