Build and maintain scalable automated testing frameworks across UI, API, and integration layers. Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines, validate REST APIs and distributed cloud systems, support microservices testing, investigate defects using observability data, and improve release quality. The role requires collaboration with developers on shift-left practices, cloud-based test execution, contract validation, test data management, and quality strategy implementation for AI-driven SaaS products.
Role Overview
We are seeking a highly motivated and experienced Senior Software Development Engineer in Testing (Senior SDET) to contribute to the quality of our AI-driven cloud operations platform. This role focuses on building scalable, reliable, and intelligent test automation systems to ensure high-quality releases in a fast-paced SaaS environment.
The ideal candidate will be hands-on with modern quality engineering practices, including automation, API testing, and cloud-native validation, while working closely with engineering teams to ensure end-to-end product quality across distributed systems.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain scalable automation frameworks and test suites across UI, API, and integration layers
- Collaborate with developers to embed quality practices early in the development lifecycle (shift-left)
- Develop and execute automated test cases and ensure integration into CI/CD pipelines
- Contribute to defining and implementing test strategies for microservices-based and distributed systems
- Perform API-first testing, including validation of REST endpoints and schema/contracts
- Identify, debug, and track defects, working closely with engineering teams for resolution
- Leverage logs, metrics, and traces to validate system behavior and improve production quality
- Ensure adequate test coverage and maintain high standards for release quality
- Contribute to improving automation frameworks, tools, and processes
- Participate in design and code reviews to improve testability and quality
- Support test data setup, environment configuration, and test execution in cloud environments
Desired Skills and Requirements
Must Have
- Strong programming experience in Python (preferred) or Java/JavaScript
- Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks:
- Playwright / Cypress (UI Automation)
- Pytest, Robot Framework, or similar frameworks
- Strong experience in API testing:
- REST APIs using tools like Postman/Newman, REST Assured, or Python (requests)
- Experience with CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI
- Solid understanding of cloud-native architectures (microservices, containers, distributed systems)
- Experience working with Docker and Kubernetes-based environments
- Strong understanding of SDLC and Agile methodologies
- Experience testing cloud-based applications, preferably on AWS
- Familiarity with contract testing / schema validation (OpenAPI, Pact, etc.)
- Exposure to observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/OpenSearch
- Familiarity with AI-driven or intelligent test automation tools
- Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
Good to Have
- Experience testing AI/ML-driven systems or data-intensive applications, including:
- Validating outputs for accuracy and consistency
- Understanding non-deterministic system behavior (e.g., LLM-based features)
- Experience with test data management and validation frameworks (e.g., Great Expectations)
- Knowledge of event-driven architectures (Kafka, messaging systems)
- Exposure to security testing fundamentals (OWASP)
- Experience with shift-right practices such as monitoring, logging, or canary validation
Soft Skills
- Strong collaboration and communication skills
- Proactive mindset with a focus on continuous improvement
- Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a team
- Attention to detail with a strong sense of ownership
Experience
- 5-7 years of experience in test automation / quality engineering
- Proven experience working in agile, fast-paced product environments
- Experience contributing to automation frameworks and test strategy implementation
Education
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related field
