Position Summary We are seeking a Software Development Engineer In Test, to apply advanced software engineering skills to improve quality across the development lifecycle through scalable test frameworks, developer tooling, and reusable automation solutions. This is a senior individual contributor role for a developer who specializes in testing, testability, and quality engineering.

This role combines hands‑on engineering with technical leadership across teams. The individual will influence architecture, strengthen automation strategy, improve developer feedback loops, and help establish consistent quality engineering practices that scale across products and platforms. The role carries strong Software Development Engineer in Test expectations, with an emphasis on building engineering solutions that improve product quality, platform reliability, and development velocity.

Primary Responsibilities

Design, develop, and evolve scalable test frameworks, automation libraries, and developer‑facing quality tools

Understand how the broader software ecosystem works together and define quality engineering approaches that align to platform strategy

Partner with Product, Architecture, and Engineering teams to define test strategy, coverage goals, and acceptance criteria

Build reusable utilities, harnesses, mocks, stubs, and data solutions that improve system testability and validation efficiency

Develop specialized test strategies and harnesses for conversational AI systems across Voice and Chat channels

Support quality across APIs, backend services, and full‑stack workflows, including distributed and multi‑service environments

Validate complex multi‑turn conversations, intent recognition, orchestration logic, and agent interactions

Integrate automated quality checks into CI/CD pipelines to support fast, reliable feedback loops across teams

Establish and promote best practices for framework selection, test data strategy, automation design, and engineering‑led quality

Create clear patterns, examples, and documentation that make testing more accessible and reduce friction for engineers

Identify quality gaps, recommend scalable solutions, and drive improvements that strengthen release confidence and customer experience

Influence architecture and engineering design decisions with a focus on quality risks, test strategy, and long‑term maintainability

Investigate complex defects, analyze failure trends, and support root‑cause resolution across development and test environments

Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers to strengthen developer‑led testing practices and overall quality engineering maturity

Pair with developers on complex quality and testability challenges and contribute directly to implementation when needed

Required Qualifications

7+ years of experience in software development, test engineering, or quality engineering roles, including significant experience in SDET or developer‑led test infrastructure work

Strong programming skills in one or more languages such as TypeScript or Java.

Deep experience building test frameworks, automation infrastructure, harnesses, or developer tooling in modern engineering environments

Strong understanding of software design, object‑oriented design, distributed systems, debugging, APIs, and maintainable code practices

Experience supporting quality across backend services, APIs, and full‑stack systems

Experience integrating automated testing into CI/CD workflows and improving engineering feedback loops

Experience designing and maintaining test data strategies and reusable testing patterns

Experience defining technical standards or reusable solutions that support multiple teams

Demonstrated ability to influence technical direction as a senior individual contributor

Strong communication skills, including the ability to document patterns, mentor engineers, and articulate quality strategy clearly

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with conversational AI platforms, AI agents, or multi‑turn workflow validation

Experience testing Voice and Chat experiences with channel‑specific test methodologies

Experience with API testing, mocking, and contract testing

Experience with developer tooling, service virtualization, or environment‑aware testing approaches

Experience improving automation maturity or quality engineering standards across an organization

Experience with performance, resiliency, or reliability testing

Experience evaluating AI or LLM‑based responses using emerging validation approaches

Experience working in highly regulated or large‑scale enterprise environments

Education

Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience (Highschool diploma plus 4 years relevant work experience)
