Summary
Max Grishkin is a Senior QA Automation Engineer with 9 years of focused experience in computer and network security, currently leading automation efforts at Ростелеком-Solar. He has deep hands-on expertise in Python-based test automation (pytest), Selenium, CI/CD (TeamCity, Docker), flaky test elimination, and building test frameworks and environments. Max has driven QA improvements across products at Positive Technologies, Mirantis, and Acronis, pairing manual exploratory testing with scalable automated suites and performance testing for cloud platforms like OpenStack. He also has experience hiring and onboarding engineers, instituting code review and style standards, and liaising with DevOps and support teams to streamline releases. Based in Moscow and trained at the Moscow Institute of Electronics and Mathematics, he brings a security-minded engineering discipline and a practical knack for turning complex integration puzzles into reliable, repeatable test pipelines. Unusually for a QA specialist, his GitHub bio hints at a personal side (“Землемер”), suggesting interests beyond pure tooling.
