ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who loves breaking things the right way. You’ll build and run automated tests for web & APIs, wire them into CI/CD, and use AI tools to accelerate test design, data generation, debugging, and documentation.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Design, implement, and maintain automated tests across the test pyramid (unit API UI E2E).
• Collaborate with developers to define acceptance criteria and shift-left quality.
• Use AI assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to:
• draft tests and edge-case lists,
• generate synthetic test data & mocks,
• triage flaky tests and suggest fixes,
• create concise defect repro steps and docs.
• Build resilient test suites with clear assertions, test IDs, and stable selectors.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD (parallelism, retries, artifacts, dashboards).
• Own regression runs, analyze failures, and file high-quality bugs with evidence.
• Contribute to quality gates (coverage thresholds, lint/type checks, API contracts).
• Perform targeted exploratory testing for new features.
• Follow AI usage guardrails (no secrets in prompts, respect PII, store approved prompts in repo).
