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).
Qualifications
At least 5 to 7 years experience in QA/SDET or software development.
Programming fundamentals in any modern language (Java, JavaScript/TypeScript, or Python preferred).
Hands-on with at least one automation framework:
Web/UI: Playwright or Cypress (Selenium/WebDriver okay).
API: REST Assured, SuperTest, or Postman/Newman.
Unit: JUnit/TestNG, Jest/Mocha/Vitest, or PyTest.
Comfortable with Git and basic CI (GitHub Actions/Jenkins/GitLab CI).
Understanding of HTTP, JSON, and basic SQL.
Clear written communication—especially for defects and repro steps.
Curiosity to learn and use AI tools responsibly to speed up work.
