SDET

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain robust automation suites using Python and pytest.
• Convert manual/bash test plans into scalable, data-driven test frameworks (CSV/JSON/YAML).
• Design a selective execution strategy (tags, ranges, run flags, grouping/sharding).
• Automate CLI command validation (exit codes, stdout/stderr expectations, failure semantics).
• Integrate and maintain test execution in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions or equivalent).
• Manage and improve test artifacts/reporting (HTML, log, and JSON) for fast triage.
• Troubleshoot environment/auth/configuration drift across runners and VMs.
• Maintain high-quality handover docs, runbooks, and troubleshooting guides.
• Partner with dev/platform teams to stabilize flaky tests and shorten feedback loops.

Requirements:

• 4+ years in SDET/QA automation roles.
• 3+ years of Python automation experience (pytest required).
• Strong Linux and shell scripting (bash) skills.
• Hands-on experience testing CLI tools or developer workflows.
• Experience with Docker and/or Podman.
• Experience integrating and debugging test runs in CI pipelines.
• Strong debugging skills for authentication, environment, and infra-related failures.
• Solid Git workflow and code review practices.

Nice-to-Have Qualifications:

• Kubernetes/KIND/Helm testing experience.
• Compliance/security scan automation exposure (SBOM/STIG-like workflows).
• Multi-runner parallel execution/sharding strategy experience.
• Experience building reusable reporting and observability layers.
• Experience capturing test telemetry for trend analysis (Postgres/SQLite).
