This role partners closely with product engineers, platform teams, and product managers to ensure that quality is built into the software lifecycle through strong engineering practices, fast feedback loops, and thoughtful automation.\nThis is not a manual testing role. It is a software engineering role focused on testability, reliability, and continuous learning.\nKey Responsibilities\n· Design, build, and maintain automated test frameworks across APIs, services, and user interfaces\n· Embed quality practices early by partnering with engineers during design and implementation\n· Champion shift-left testing and test-driven development practices\n· Build test strategies aligned to microservices, event-driven systems, and distributed architectures\n· Develop automated tests for functional, integration, performance, and reliability scenarios\n· Ensure test coverage supports rapid delivery without creating brittle or slow pipelines\n· Partner with CI/CD teams to integrate automated testing into continuous delivery workflows\n· Improve observability and diagnostics to support faster defect detection and resolution\n· Collaborate with engineers to improve system testability, resilience, and design clarity\n· Contribute to defining quality standards and patterns used across teams\n· Mentor other engineers on quality engineering and testing practices\nQualifications\nTechnical Expertise\n· 7+ years of experience in software engineering, test automation, or SDET roles\n· Strong programming skills in one or more modern languages\n· Experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks\n· Solid understanding of API testing, service-level testing, and distributed systems\n· Experience testing event-driven and asynchronous systems\n· Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automated quality gates\n· Experience working with relational databases and validating data integrity\n· Exposure to cloud-native systems and SaaS architectures\nEngineering and Collaboration\n· Strong understanding of software design principles and system architecture\n· Ability to collaborate closely with product engineers as a peer\n· Excellent communication skills and ability to explain quality trade-offs clearly\n· Structured thinker with strong debugging and problem-solving skills\n· Comfortable working across teams in a fast-moving environment\nMindset and Values\n· Believes quality is built in, not inspected in\n· Builder mindset with a passion for automation and systems thinking\n· Customer-aware, understanding how failures impact real users\n· Learning-first attitude, continuously improving tools and techniques\n· Calm under pressure and disciplined in incident response\n· Values teamwork, transparency, and shared ownership\nWhat Success Looks Like\n· Quality issues are detected early and addressed quickly\n· Automated tests provide fast, reliable feedback without slowing delivery\n· Engineers proactively design for testability and reliability\n· CI/CD pipelines support frequent, safe releases\n· The Senior SDET is
