We are looking for a Senior SDET who combines strong automation engineering with hands-on experience applying AI in a QA context. In this role, you own the quality of features and work streams assigned to you, build reusable automation the team can rely on, and bring AI-assisted approaches into your day-to-day work.

This is a senior individual contributor role. You take a technical direction and work through it independently, delivering working solutions with minimal hand-holding. You know when to ask clarifying questions and when to move.

You will work closely with developers, product managers, and other QA engineers to understand what quality means for your area, define the right testing approach, and deliver measurable coverage improvements using a mix of automation and AI-assisted approaches.

If you enjoy solving hard technical problems, delivering quality that people can trust, and building your AI in QA skills through real work, this role is for you.

• Own the quality of features or work streams assigned to you, from planning through release readiness
• Define the testing approach for your area, including what needs testing, at what depth, and using which methods
• Partner with developers and product managers on requirement reviews, design discussions, and sprint planning to catch issues early
• Track quality signals for your area (defects, coverage gaps, escaped issues) and act on them

• Build and maintain scalable automation that covers the scenarios that matter for your area
• Design reusable automation framework components (helpers, utilities, page objects, shared services) that are scalable and reliable enough for the team to depend on
• Contribute to and evolve the team's automation framework, following established patterns and shaping new ones where needed
• Write clean, production-quality automation across UI and API layers using Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent tools
• Keep the automation suite healthy. Fix flakes, improve reliability, and remove tests that no longer earn their place.

• Implement AI-assisted approaches within your area's QA workflow. Intelligent test generation, self-healing locators, automated step definitions, and AI-powered reporting.
• Work hands-on with LLM APIs (Claude, OpenAI, or similar) to build utilities the team actually uses
• Apply practical understanding of how large language models work (context windows, prompt structure, response handling) to build reliable integrations
• Evaluate AI tools critically. Adopt what genuinely improves quality outcomes.

• Participate actively in code and design reviews. Give substantive feedback.
• Document your work well enough that others can build on it
• Support and pair with less experienced SDETs when needed

• Produce test reports and quality summaries that stakeholders trust and act on
• Support execution strategy improvements where they help. Parallelism, environment configuration, flakiness reduction.
• Contribute to CI/CD pipeline integration if and when needed. This is not a heavy focus for us, so working knowledge is enough.

• Proven track record of owning quality for features or work streams. Not just executing test cases handed to you.
• Strong grasp of test strategy, risk-based coverage, and the tradeoffs between manual, automated, and exploratory testing
• Experience partnering closely with developers and product managers
• Comfortable making judgment…
