Job Description
As an SDET-3, you will be the technical backbone of our quality engineering team. We are looking for a hands-on expert who thrives on solving complex business problems—the kind that require deep dives into data flows, integration points, and high-scale logic. You will not only build robust automation but also act as a technical mentor, elevating the bar for everyone around you.
Core Responsibilities
- Automation Excellence: Design and implement highly reliable automated test suites for complex web and backend applications. You should be an expert in at least one industry-standard tool (e.g., Playwright, Selenium, or RestAssured).
- Business Logic Validation: Break down intricate business requirements into comprehensive test strategies. You will be responsible for ensuring that complex edge cases in our business workflows are covered by automation.
- Framework Ownership: Take ownership of the testing framework's health. You will optimize execution speed, reduce flakiness, and ensure the framework scales as the product grows.
- Team Guidance: Lead by example through high-quality code reviews. You will mentor junior and mid-level engineers, helping them improve their automation patterns and debugging skills.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Developers and Product Managers during the design phase to ensure "testability" is built into the product from day one.
Job Requirement
- Experience: 4+ years of professional experience in Software Development or Test Automation.
- The "Toolbox": Extensive, hands-on experience with tools like Cypress, Playwright, or Appium. You should know these tools deeply, not just at a surface level.
- Complex Systems: Experience working with Microservices, RESTful APIs, and Databases (SQL/NoSQL). You should be comfortable navigating logs and debugging across distributed systems.
- Continuous Integration: Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub Actions) and how to integrate automated tests effectively within them.
What We Are Looking For
- The "Problem Solver": You don't just find bugs; you find the cause of the problem and propose architectural improvements to prevent them.
- The "Mentor": You enjoy helping others grow. You can explain complex technical concepts to a junior engineer without being condescending.
- The "Owner": You take pride in your work. When a test fails in the pipeline, you are the first to investigate and the last to leave until the path to production is clear.
