Senior SDET (Software Development Engineer in Test)

at  Semble

Are you looking to impact and be part of something special, such as shaping the future of healthcare? Do you take pride in building and maintaining robust test automation frameworks?
Boxes ticked? If so, read on.
At Semble, we are on a mission to enable health professionals to amplify their impact. We improve the way healthcare is delivered to millions of people by providing doctors and their teams with powerful, innovative, intuitive, and secure software. Our cloud-based clinical system is already used by thousands of clinicians, making their lives easier and saving them money, while structuring their health data to help research.

We are a passionate and driven team, lucky to unite under strong cultural drivers:

• Impact - We do work that matters.
• Collaboration – We are in it together.
• Human touch – We care deeply.

This role can be fully remote in the UK and EU (with occasional travel to our London office) within +/- 2 hours of the GMT time zone. We are unfortunately not able to consider candidates located outside these locations and time zones at this stage.
What you will be doing

The SDET role plays a key part in our product delivery process. The ideal candidate will ensure our software meets requirements and is built to the highest standards. In this role, you will:

• Work in a cross-functional team, collaborating with product owners, designers, and developers to define test cases.
• Conduct testing activities for new feature releases, ensuring they meet both functional and non-functional requirements.
• Coordinate internal testing and UAT sessions, triaging and tracking defects raised.
• Deploy tickets to test environments and production using BitBucket pipelines.
• Create automated tests using Cypress.io for both UI and API test scenarios.
• Participate in code reviews to ensure code quality and promote knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to and enhance the existing test automation framework.
• Work alongside developers and DevOps to improve deployment processes.
• Influence and help shape the roadmap for SDET.
• Coach junior team members.

What we are looking for

At a Senior level at Semble, we will expect you to be mostly autonomous in your scope and to own and solve complex tasks or lead projects independently. You will work with peers from different functions and have an impact across department. You may be in a mentoring role for more junior team members and should be able to influence effectively and lead by example throughout the company.

• 5+ years of professional experience using a recognized test automation framework (Cypress is a plus).
• Proficiency in one or more programming languages (JavaScript is a plus).
• Experience building automation frameworks from scratch.
• Familiarity with automating E2E tests using POM and BDD syntax.
• Experience with API testing using an automation framework.
• Knowledge of non-functional testing.
• Exposure to DevOps tools such as Jenkins, BitBucket, DataDog, and AWS cloud infrastructure.
• A strong advocate for test automation who continually seeks opportunities to enhance the existing automated testing framework.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent SDETs and defend quality in the release process.

What you’ll get in return

• The great feeling coming with knowing you do something that matters: shaping the future of healthcare!
• £65-75k package (based on your experience and the value you can bring)
• Autonomy and ownership – we’ll set the vision and share the context, then we trust you to run with things – that’s the reason we hire you!
• 36 days off: 25 holidays +bank holidays +3 extra days (birthday and ‘feel good’ days) - that we will expect you to actually take so you can recharge and rest.
• Company Equity - We appreciate and recognise all of our employees’ contributions, so everyone is eligible for Semble share options!
• Private Health Insurance – covering physical and mental health, as well as dental and optical!
• Hybrid & flexible work environment – work from anywhere in the UK, with also some flexibility to work across Europe. You decide how much or how little you go to the office.
• Get the tech you need - You will get the latest MacBook and take your pick across a wide range of equipment to set up your home office ergonomically.
• Work alongside an inspiring team – our two founders have started Semble after a successful startup exit, and your future colleagues are all knowledgeable and innovators in their field.
• Fantastic office space in Central London, right outside Monument - with a roof terrace, weekly animations, loads of natural light, and cute doggies!
• The usual free bits coming with nice offices (barista coffee, tea, fruits, happy hours and activities…).
