Summary:
As a Software Development Engineer in Test, you will design, build, and maintain software, frameworks, and tooling that enable continuous quality across the software delivery lifecycle. You will partner with engineers, architects, product teams, and quality specialists to improve testability, automate critical coverage, and deliver reliable customer experiences across user interfaces, APIs, services, and data layers.
Responsibilities:
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable automated test frameworks and reusable test tooling for UI, API, service, and data-layer testing.
- Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast, reliable feedback and enforce appropriate quality gates.
- Develop test strategies and plans that define coverage, test data, environment needs, risks, and functional and non-functional approaches.
- Create and maintain automated functional, integration, contract, regression, smoke, performance, and resiliency tests.
- Collaborate with developers and architects early in the delivery lifecycle to improve testability and end-to-end quality.
- Participate in code reviews and promote maintainable automation practices, clean code, documentation, and data-driven testing.
- Troubleshoot failed and flaky tests, pipeline issues, test-data problems, and service dependencies; identify root causes and improve suite reliability.
- Coach team members on automation patterns, testing practices, and effective use of shared frameworks and tooling.
- Use quality metrics, failure trends, and coverage insights to identify risks and guide continuous improvement.
- Perform exploratory testing when automation alone is insufficient for new, complex, or high-risk customer journeys.
- Partner with Quality Assurance specialists to support day-to-day testing and expand sustainable automation coverage.
- Communicate technical quality risks and recommendations clearly to engineering, product, and business audiences.
Requirements:
- 5-9 years’ experience in software development or quality engineering using one or more modern programming languages; C# and modern .NET experience is preferred.
- Hands-on experience building automated tests and test harnesses for web applications, APIs, microservices, and data integrations.
- Experience with modern browser automation and API-testing libraries such as Microsoft Playwright, Selenium WebDriver, REST-assured, or equivalent tools.
- Experience writing unit, integration, component, contract, and end-to-end tests using frameworks appropriate to the application stack.
- Strong SQL skills and experience validating data across relational databases and service boundaries.
- Experience integrating automated tests with source control and CI/CD platforms such as GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.
- Experience with performance and load-testing tools such as k6, JMeter, Azure Load Testing, or equivalent tools will be an added advantage
- Understanding of cloud-native and distributed-system testing, including APIs, asynchronous messaging, containers, and observable services.
- Working knowledge of test-driven development, acceptance-test-driven development, shift-left testing, and Agile delivery practices.
- Ability to diagnose complex failures using logs, traces, metrics, and application telemetry.
- Knowledge of accessibility, security, and reliability testing practices is a plus.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving, technical troubleshooting, and written and verbal communication skills.
- Ability to work independently and collaboratively as a member of an Agile product team.
- Willingness to evaluate and rapidly adopt tools and practices that improve quality, delivery speed, and maintainability.
