Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

We are looking for a Senior SDET with strong core testing fundamentals, hands-on automation expertise, and a consultative mindset to lead quality initiatives for large-scale products. The role requires ownership across web, API, and/or mobile testing, balancing manual exploratory/UAT testing with automation strategy and execution, while working closely with product and engineering stakeholders in an Agile environment.

Requirements:

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts using TypeScript/JavaScript for web applications (Playwright / WebdriverIO) and APIs (modern API automation tools/frameworks).
• Plan and execute comprehensive test strategies, including test plans, test cases, UAT cycles, and release validation.
• Perform functional and exploratory testing across web, API, and mobile layers to identify issues early in the SDLC.
• Drive API testing and validation, identifying functional defects, contract gaps, REST standard violations, versioning inconsistencies, and documentation issues.
• Collaborate closely with Developers, Product Managers, and stakeholders to clarify requirements, validate expected behavior, and resolve defects.
• Actively participate in Agile ceremonies (sprint planning, stand-ups, reviews, retrospectives) and contribute to sprint quality goals.
• Lead and mentor SDETs, ensure execution excellence, and take ownership of deliverables.
• Create and maintain test metrics, defect dashboards, and progress reports, and communicate status effectively to client stakeholders.
• Continuously evaluate and implement best practices in testing, automation, and quality engineering.
• Contribute to improving testing processes, standards, and methodologies from a consulting perspective.

Qualifications & Core Skills (Must-Have):

• 6+ years of experience as an SDET with strong hands-on testing experience.
• Proficiency in TypeScript / JavaScript for test automation.
• Solid experience in web, API, and/or mobile application testing.
• Hands-on experience with automation tools such as web: Playwright or WebdriverIO; API: any modern API automation framework; or mobile: Appium (preferably with WDIO).
• Strong understanding of software testing principles, test design techniques, and defect lifecycle.
• Good understanding of REST APIs, HTTP methods, status codes, payload validation, and integration testing concepts.
• Experience in creating test plans, test strategies, release plans, and owning end-to-end test execution.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in client-facing environments.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced Agile environment with minimal supervision.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
