# Rushikesh Dixit > Engineering Leader | SDET & DevOps | Targeting Engineering Manager / Principal Engineer roles Location: Nashua, New Hampshire, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/rushikesh Seasoned engineering leader and SDET/DevOps specialist with 7+ years building, testing, and running large-scale, distributed systems across financial services, SaaS, and cloud-native environments. I blend deep hands-on experience in Java, Python, microservices, and full-stack development with ownership of complex test automation, CI/CD, and production-ready quality practices.​ Over my career at Fidelity, Alation, Amazon, and MicroStrategy, I have led end-to-end quality initiatives, stabilized release and hotfix pipelines, and driven test automation strategies that improved reliability and release velocity. I work closely with engineering, product, and platform teams to define quality bars, design scalable frameworks, and mentor engineers on modern testing, DevOps, and cloud-native practices.​ Core skills include: test automation (Selenium, Appium, Cucumber, JUnit), API and performance testing (REST, JMeter, Postman), CI/CD (Jenkins, GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes), cloud and distributed systems (AWS, EC2, S3, RDS, Redis, Kafka), programming (Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, Angular), and DevOps/SRE fundamentals (Linux, Terraform, monitoring, release management, automation for UAT and production sign-offs). I also bring experience with data-intensive systems, Hadoop, and analytics-oriented platforms, as well as strong collaboration and leadership proven through recommendations from engineering leaders and peers.​ I am currently open to full-time opportunities only, and particularly interested in Principal Engineer, Principal SDET/QA, or Engineering Manager roles where I can lead technical strategy, raise quality standards, and build high-performing teams.
