Job Description The Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) creates components, tools and scripts that enable the execution of automated tests either locally, as part of an automated CI/CD pipeline, or within a staging environment. As part of an empowered, agile product team, they consistently deliver high-quality, reliable, and performant applications. They participate in a community of practice that collectively aligns and advances techniques, architectures and technologies in order to keep pace as industry innovates and practices evolve. In this role, the individual works closely with the product manager and agile product team to achieve sprint goals while ensuring high-quality product functionality, reliability, and performance. They conceive and develop BDD tests based on user stories and acceptance criteria, supported by a solid understanding of how applications, interfaces, and software components interact. They write automation code to validate data products, large datasets, data‑driven reports, browser‑based interfaces, microservices, applications, and APIs using the established automation framework and tools. The role involves assisting team members in enhancing and expanding test coverage, actively engaging in modern engineering practices such as coding standards, peer reviews, test automation, knowledge sharing, and strong participation in scrum ceremonies. They collaborate with other SDETs and architects to identify technology and process improvements, enhancing quality, efficiency, and commercial outcomes. Additionally, they support consultants, trainers, and technical staff during system rollouts, device commissioning, user training, and ongoing support. They diagnose customer issues escalated by application support and use insights to strengthen regression safeguards by extending test cases. The individual documents and communicates findings in a way that ensures processes are repeatable and automated when possible, while also contributing to continuous improvement by mentoring and coaching junior team members.
