Sr. SDET; Selenium​/Automation

Position Summary:

The Senior Software Development Engineer in Test is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automated testing solutions that improve software quality, reduce production risk, and strengthen release confidence across enterprise applications. This is a hands‑on technical role focused on test automation, framework development, API and integration validation, data validation, CI/CD quality controls, and production‑readiness testing. The successful candidate will work closely with Engineering, QA, Dev Ops, Product, and business stakeholders to ensure applications are testable, reliable, scalable, and aligned with business requirements.

The Sr. SDET requires strong ownership, technical depth, and a quality‑first mindset. The Senior SDET is expected to proactively identify quality risks, improve automation coverage, troubleshoot complex failures, and help raise engineering quality standards across the team.

• Design, develop, and maintain automated test frameworks for web, mobile, API, service‑level, integration, and end‑to‑end testing.
• Build reliable, reusable, scalable, and maintainable automated tests using modern engineering practices.
• Develop automation strategies that improve test coverage, reduce manual testing dependency, and increase release confidence.
• Create and maintain automated regression, smoke, functional, integration, and workflow validation suites.
• Analyze automation failures, identify root causes, reduce test flakiness, and improve automation reliability.
• Evaluate and recommend commercial and open‑source testing tools, frameworks, and libraries based on project needs.
• Use AI‑assisted engineering tools where appropriate to accelerate test creation, framework development, defect analysis, and productivity.

• Design and implement automated tests for APIs, services, databases, third‑party integrations, and complex business workflows.
• Validate application behavior beyond the user interface, including service responses, data transformations, event flows, and downstream system impacts.
• Use SQL and other validation techniques to confirm data accuracy, consistency, and integrity across systems.
• Create test data strategies to support automation, regression testing, integration testing, and production‑like validation.
• Partner with Engineering and Architecture teams to identify quality risks in system design, data flows, and integration patterns.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and ensure test results provide meaningful feedback for build, deployment, and release decisions.
• Collaborate with Dev Ops and Engineering teams to define quality gates, pipeline validation, and environment promotion criteria.
• Support release‑level validation by ensuring automated tests reflect actual release scope, dependencies, integrations, and business workflows.
• Participate in release readiness activities by providing clear test results, risk indicators, defect analysis, and quality recommendations.
• Support planned production releases and critical off‑hours deployments as needed, in alignment with team release schedules.

• Investigate complex application, automation, data, integration, and environment issues.
• Use logs, metrics, traces, monitoring tools, and application telemetry to troubleshoot failures and improve test coverage.
• Partner with Engineering, Dev Ops, QA, and business teams to diagnose defects and validate fixes.
• Contribute to root cause analysis and identify opportunities to prevent similar issues in future releases.
• Validate application behavior under realistic conditions, including dependency failures, latency, service degradation, and recovery scenarios.

• Work with business and technical stakeholders to understand requirements and ensure functional and technical validation is built into the delivery process.
• Review requirements, designs, user stories, acceptance criteria, and technical changes to identify testing needs and quality risks.
• Coach and mentor QA engineers, SDETs, and…
