About The Position

As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET), you will lead automation efforts and champion AI-driven testing strategies to improve efficiency, coverage, and reliability across We are looking for an SDET with deep expertise in test automation and a strong command of AI-driven testing strategies. This role will lead automation efforts, mentor junior team members, and champion the use of AI to improve test efficiency, coverage, and reliability across distributed, cloud-native systems. To ensure that we have a repeatable process and systems to thoroughly test and uncover defects, quality engineering uses best of breed tools for automation and testing frameworks in conjunction with in-house tooling, infrastructure and services. SDETs are embedded in each agile development team to facilitate and lead the testing strategy and test automation requirements for every iteration and release. The quality engineering team also regularly meets to review and improve overall testing processes, automation, innovations and best practices. Each quality engineer works both independently and as part of a product group, where SDETs write functional tests and the quality engineering framework team supports the testing infrastructure and automation. In addition, they provide guidance for best practices and develop testing systems for smoke testing, behavioral testing, stress testing, performance testing, as well as supporting quality metrics. The SDET is a strong voice for quality that actively pursues quality improvements, writing code, developing new infrastructure and tests to support our fast paced, highly diversified development organization.
