Senior Software Engineer in Test

Field AI is transforming how robots interact with the real world. We are building risk‑aware, reliable, and field‑ready AI systems that address the most complex challenges in robotics, unlocking the full potential of embodied intelligence. We go beyond typical data‑driven approaches or pure transformer‑based architectures, and are charting a new course, with already‑globally‑deployed solutions delivering real‑world results and rapidly improving models through real‑field applications. $157,000 - $185,000 a year What You’ll Get to Do Design, build, and maintain a scalable automated testing framework using Playwright and TypeScript, treating test infrastructure with the exact same engineering rigor as production code. Embed directly within Product Engineering teams, shifting testing left by collaborating during the technical design phase to define test strategies and data-testid selectors before features are coded. Own the continuous delivery (CD) gateway, optimizing Playwright parallelization, sharding, and containerization to keep PR build times fast, stable, and clear of flaky tests. Bridge the gap between cloud services and robotics simulation, writing end-to-end tests that mock, stub, or interact with simulated robot APIs to validate complex mission-scheduling and data-ingestion workflows. Architect robust test-data management strategies, implementing efficient setup and teardown hooks to ensure test environments remain pristine across high-frequency browser and API test runs. Build observability and reporting tooling (e.g., custom Playwright reporters or dashboards) that gives engineering teams immediate, actionable visibility into regressions and product health. What You Have Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent professional experience). 5-8 years of experience. Strong software engineering fundamentals, with professional experience writing clean, maintainable code in TypeScript, JavaScript, or another modern object‑oriented/functional language. Deep hands‑on experience with Playwright, including advanced patterns like Page Object Models, network interception/mocking, custom fixtures, and multi‑auth state handling. A "shift-left" engineering mindset, with a proven track record of embedding with developers, reviewing PRs for testability, and advocating for automated coverage over manual QA. Solid understanding of modern web architectures and APIs, including the ability to debug network calls, inspect DOM elements, and write automated tests directly against REST or GraphQL APIs. Experience managing CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI) and integrating automated test execution seamlessly into developer delivery workflows. The Extras That Set You Apart Experience building Playwright infrastructure for large or complex products, such as microfrontend architectures, real‑time data streaming web apps, or dashboard systems handling high‑frequency state updates. Background working in robotics, IoT, or hardware‑adjacent software spaces, where automated UI/API tests interact with physical devices, hardware emulators, or simulation environments. Advanced Docker and cloud infrastructure experience (AWS/GCP), specifically around scaling test agents or orchestrating localized environments for isolated end‑to‑end testing. Aligning Test Quality with Production Quality by identifying testing gaps and improve product observability. #J-18808-Ljbffr Medium
