Your Role

We’re hiring a Senior SDET to join one of our cross-functional product teams in our Football & Rugby group. This squad are focused on building cutting-edge solutions sports teams use to influence how they compete and recruit, supporting key products like Statsbomb and Wyscout, plus new greenfield projects as we expand.

As a Senior SDET, you’ll:

• Improve quality. You’ll drive measurable improvements in product quality and delivery speed. You’ll empower teams to solve tough challenges, bringing in proven practices that enhance quality and accelerate development.
• Collaborate. You’ll be an integral part of a cross-functional team, collaborating closely with coworkers across Engineering, Product, Design and Scrum, all to ensure the delivery of high-quality products.
• Strategise. You’ll use your customer and system understanding to create risk-based testing approaches and plans that focus on user experiences. Overall, you’ll ensure our products meet and exceed user expectations.
• Automate. By aligning our processes with development speed, you’ll make informed decisions on what, how and when to automate.
  Coach. You'll use your technical and quality expertise to guide others on the team to raise their bar. As the quality point person, you’ll influence and challenge teams to incorporate quality best practices in everything they do.

For this role, we're currently considering candidates who live within a commuting distance of our office in London. But with our flexible work policy, there aren't any current requirements for the number of days you come to the office.

Must-Haves

• A focus on quality. You understand quality in the big picture and strive to use what you know to improve quality and velocity.
• Technical know-how. You have in-depth experience with testing desktop and web applications, as well as a deep knowledge of automation and its industry-recognised principles. You've implemented the test pyramid and have experience  working with developers and QA to shift testing left.
• A customer focus. You think critically about user experience and ensure our testing approach adapts to match those workflows.

Nice-to-Haves

• Experience with Playwright. As this is one of the key frameworks we use, commercial experience with it is a plus.
• Familiarity with hardware. You’ve had experience working with relevant hardware products, such as wearable devices.

Our Role

• Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time above any required statutory leave, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
• Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
• Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
• Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech you need to do your best work.
• Support your wellbeing. Depending on location, we offer medical and retirement benefits for employees—but no matter where you’re located, we have resources like our Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support your mental health.

Compensation

We're building an AI copilot for web testing automation. It enables manual and automation QA engineers to turn their manual testing flows into production-ready automated E2E testing scripts, saving hours of manual work and coding. We are a small team with zero bureaucracy, focusing on real users. We optimize for shipping value - not hype.

About the role:

You'll own the top of the funnel: outbound, qualification, and getting leads to sit down for a conversation. Demos, onboarding, and retention are staying with the founder for now.

Phase one: Get individual Automation QAs to try the product, aiming for fast adoption and no procurement. Once we hit 20+ weekly users, we’ll move on to phase two, where we’ll shift the focus to B2B – qualified meetings with QA Leads and Engineering Managers.

Your focus in the first three months:

• Build targeted lists: Automation QAs at companies with web products and Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium in their stack.
• Run outbound sequences (LinkedIn is the baseline, but you decide the channels). A/B test weekly.
• Design qualification gates (forms and scoring) to filter leads before the founder calls.
• Reach 20+ weekly active users after month one – ICP-qualified and giving direct feedback to engineering.
• Document what works into a repeatable playbook.

Growth path:

This role expands as your strategies deliver results. Once the user pipeline works, you can take over demos and run B2B sales end to end. From there, the natural next step is Growth Lead (funnel optimization and scaling the playbook) or Account Executive (owning deal execution).

Why to join:

• You'll be building a strategy that scales the product, not filling a quota. What you create from scratch becomes the foundation.
• Your outreach turns into users who talk directly to engineering, and their feedback ships as features within days.
• AI for developer tools is a market with real pull, and QA automation is one of its sharpest pain points.
• We’re backed by JetBrains – financially secure with no reliance on external VC funding.

Who we're looking for:

You should have a high level of agency and be quant-minded – you live in funnel metrics, run experiments, and are comfortable saying "no" to leads that are a bad fit. 

The ideal candidate will:

• Have done 0-to-1 outbound for an early-stage devtool, QA tool, infrastructure product, or similar.
• Have proven cold outbound results, instead of being dependent on warm inbound.
• Be able to talk credibly about flaky tests, CI pain, and Playwright vs. Cypress. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need domain empathy.
• Possess strong written communication skills, with the ability to craft short, sharp messages that get replies.

Nice to have:

• A QA or SDET background – you've felt the pain yourself before moving to sales or BD.
• Exposure to security/compliance objections – enough to pre-empt and route.
• Content skills – your LinkedIn posts get engagement, not just your DMs.
• Experience as one of the first 10 employees at a startup.
