About The Position

We are looking for a Senior SDET to join our Enablement Group. Enablement builds the shared foundations that power all teams: internal developer tooling and core services, reusable UI platform components, CI/CD and operational enablement, access/security integrations, public APIs and platform adapters, and Apollo (Swap’s ingestion + event/webhook intake and distribution layer). This role owns quality standards for internal systems and drives adoption and compliance across teams. You will define functional and non-functional quality requirements, translate them into measurable standards, and ensure internal services meet them through reviews, gates, validation, and operational signals.

Requirements

5+ years in quality engineering / QA / SDET / reliability-oriented roles in a distributed systems environment.
Strong ability to define engineering standards and get teams to adopt them through influence and clear workflows.
Solid understanding of non-functional requirements: reliability, performance, scalability, security, observability, and operational readiness.
Strong technical background: able to review designs, understand system behavior and failure modes, and speak fluently with engineers.
Experience with CI/CD and quality gates; ability to translate standards into automated checks and measurable signals.
Experience testing and validating APIs (contract testing, integration testing, backward compatibility).
Strong ownership and organisation: can coordinate across multiple teams and drive compliance over time.

Responsibilities

Lead definition of quality standards for internal systems (functional and non-functional): reliability, performance, scalability, security, availability, observability, data correctness, and operability.
Partner with engineering teams to turn standards into service-level requirements and clear acceptance criteria for platform capabilities and internal services.
Own the compliance loop: define how compliance is measured, introduce evidence (tests, checks, dashboards), and drive remediation when gaps are found.
Run structured quality reviews for internal services: design reviews, readiness reviews, release criteria, and post-incident follow-ups that update standards and checks.
Define and maintain quality gates in CI/CD that enforce standards without slowing teams down (contract checks, smoke/regression, security checks where relevant).
Establish API quality standards for public APIs and platform adapters: contracts, backward compatibility, versioning, integration requirements.
Lead cross-team alignment: document standards, drive adoption, coach teams, and create lightweight processes that teams follow.
