SDET

Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and maintain test automation frameworks from scratch or extend existing ones, ensuring integration into our CI/CD pipelines.
• Define and uphold the standards for test quality, ensuring consistency and confidence in our releases.
• Write high-quality, maintainable integration and end-to-end tests that follow production engineering standards.
• AI-first mindset required: leverage AI assistants and tools as part of day-to-day SDET workflows (test design, automation, analysis, and continuous quality improvement).
• Build reusable test utilities, mocks, and simulators.
• Contribute to and help evolve the overall test strategy for one or more products or services.
• Partner with engineers, product managers, and delivery leads to embed quality thinking from day one, and not as an afterthought.
• Design and oversee test strategies that combine automation, exploratory testing, and regression coverage.
• Drive the implementation and evolution of automated testing frameworks,
• Own the structure and health of test suites and regression packs, helping teams keep them lean, relevant, and valuable.
• Actively test front-end, back-end, API, and distributed microservices using tools like Playwright, Jest, Supertest, Cypress, Postman, RestAssured and other modern frameworks.
• Perform and organise performance testing with tools such as K6 and JMeter.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure cross-squad functionality and integration is properly tested.
• Get involved in the testing cycle, helping to investigate issues, write tests, support manual QA, and sign off changes.
• Investigate defects and production issues; ensure fixes are validated through automation.

Requirements:

• Computer Science or Information Technology degree, Diploma or similar.
• CSTAE or ASTQB ISTQB Advanced Certification.
• Certified Automation Tester (with experience on Selenium, Playwright, RestAssured).
• Familiarity with pipeline and event-driven systems (Kafka, AWS EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, queues, streams, SnapLogic).
• 4+ years of experience in Test Automation.
• Strong hands-on experience in building and maintaining test automation frameworks and API testing tools, not just executing them.
• Confident writing automated tests in TypeScript.
• Expertise in designing and Executing End-to-End Test Strategies that align with Agile delivery.
• Solid experience embedding quality early in the SDLC by working closely with Product Managers, Engineers, Principal Engineers and Delivery Managers.
• Experience working in agile continuous delivery teams, including daily coordination with cross-functional stakeholders to evaluate, prioritise, and drive resolution of defects based on reproducibility, business impact, and release scope.
