Position Overview

We are looking for a highly motivated, proactive, and self-driven Software Developer in Test (SDET) to join our engineering team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining scalable automation solutions that ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of our applications.

We are looking for an engineer who thinks beyond writing automated test scripts. The ideal SDET is comfortable tackling challenging problems, learning unfamiliar technologies independently, and designing testing strategies for features where traditional UI automation is not enough. Success in this role means taking ownership, and ensuring confidence in every release.

The ideal candidate is passionate about quality engineering, enjoys solving complex technical challenges, and takes ownership of testing initiatives from design through release. You are comfortable working independently, continuously learning new technologies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to build high-quality software.

This role goes beyond validating traditional UI elements such as buttons, forms, and text. We are looking for someone who can design testing strategies for complex application features, including backend services, APIs, interactive maps, geospatial features, dynamic visualizations, and other non-traditional UI components, ensuring a reliable and intuitive user experience.

Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain scalable, reusable, and reliable test automation frameworks

  • Create and execute automated tests for backend services, REST APIs, integrations, and end-to-end user workflows

  • Design automation strategies for complex application features, including interactive maps, geospatial data, dynamic visualizations, and other non-standard UI components

  • Validate cloud-native applications deployed on AWS and ensure system reliability across distributed architectures

  • Troubleshoot application and test failures, perform root cause analysis, and collaborate with engineering teams to resolve issues efficiently

  • Integrate automated testing into CI/CD pipelines for high-quality software releases

  • Partner closely with Software Engineers, Product Managers, and DevOps teams to promote quality throughout the entire SDLC

  • Advocate for quality as a shared engineering responsibility

Minimum Qualifications

  • 6+ years of experience in Software Development and Test Automation

  • Strong programming skills in JavaScript and/or TypeScript

  • Extensive hands-on experience on automation frameworks like Cypress or Playwright

  • Experience with API testing tools such as REST Assured, Supertest, or equivalent frameworks

  • Strong knowledge of AWS services

  • Hands-on experience working with AWS services, including:

    • AWS Lambda

    • S3

    • DynamoDB

  • Experience validating, troubleshooting, and testing applications deployed in AWS environments

  • Ability to work independently, take ownership of testing initiatives, and deliver high-quality solutions with minimal guidance

  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience testing microservices and distributed systems

  • Experience validating interactive maps, GIS/geospatial features, data visualizations, canvas-based applications, or other highly interactive user interfaces

  • Experience working in Agile/Scrum environments
