SDET/QA Engineer

Software Development Engineer In Test

The mission of the Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) is to establish and evolve our approach to test automation, test strategy, and quality standards from the ground up—designing scalable, maintainable frameworks and partnering closely with engineering, product, data, and QA teams to deliver reliable, high-quality software with confidence.

Essential Functions

• Design and implement scalable, maintainable test automation frameworks for web applications, APIs, and distributed systems, and establish the best practices, patterns, and tooling that scale across teams.
• Define and execute comprehensive test strategies and plans—covering integration and end-to-end testing across a distributed system architecture—and ensure alignment with product and business requirements.
• Identify high-risk areas, including those involving sensitive or regulated data, and ensure appropriate test coverage and validation.
• Integrate automated testing into CI/CD workflows to improve reliability, speed, and confidence in deployments.
• Partner with engineering teams to ensure systems are designed with testability, observability, and maintainability in mind.
• Partner with product, data, and business stakeholders to translate requirements into testable scenarios and acceptance criteria, and coordinate with offshore QA to define scope, prioritize efforts, and validate results.
• Establish and track quality metrics to drive continuous improvement and reduce production defects.
• Provide technical leadership and guidance on quality engineering best practices, helping to elevate standards across the team.
