About the project:

As a Senior Software Test Engineer, you will drive the automated test strategy across the organization, validating user‑facing interfaces, APIs, and backend services to ensure software behaves as intended in production. The Senior Software Test Engineer will report to the Senior Manager, Software Engineering, and will design and implement test procedures that ensure reliability, scalability, and quality across the full application stack.

How you'll contribute

• ✅ Own the quality strategy for key initiatives across frontend, backend, and data pipelines.
• ✅ Define test approaches, quality gates, and release criteria for distributed, event‑driven systems.
• ✅ Design and build robust automation (TypeScript) for UI (Playwright), API/contract (REST/GraphQL, Pact), and event streams (Kafka‑centric validation and consumer tests).
• ✅ Implement CI/CD quality gates: parallelized test suites, flaky‑test detection, test impact analysis, and fast feedback loops using pipelines and containerized runners.
• ✅ Expand non‑functional coverage: performance/load (k6/JMeter/Gatling), resiliency/chaos scenarios, reliability SLOs, accessibility (WCAG), and basic security/OWASP checks.
• ✅ Build test data and environments: deterministic data sets, mocks and service virtualization (e.g., WireMock), and cloud‑native ephemer­al environments (AWS, IaC) to increase speed and repeatability.
• ✅ Partner across disciplines to design for testability, drive defect prevention, and deliver seamless customer experiences.
• ✅ Integrate and validate AI‑driven services: establish evaluation datasets, bias/guardrail checks, and offline/online metrics to ensure safe and consistent behavior.
• ✅ Level up the team: mentor engineers on testing best practices, code reviews, debugging, and observability‑driven testing.
• ✅ Operational excellence: instrument tests and systems for telemetry; analyze failures, reduce flakiness, and continuously optimize execution time and coverage.
• ✅ Document quality architecture with diagrams, flows, and clear test plans (Miro or similar) to align teams on approach and outcomes.
• ✅ Collaborate with Principal/Distinguished Engineers to design highly testable, resilient solutions and evolve our quality platform.
• ✅ Contribute to mobile testing where applicable (device farms, cross‑platform validation).

This would make you the ideal candidate

• ✨ Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• ✨ 5+ Years of experience working in software quality/test engineering, with proven experience shipping and supporting customer‑facing production products.
• ✨ Strong TypeScript automation experience, including building and maintaining automated tests for real product teams.
• ✨ Hands‑on UI automation with Playwright, Cypress, or similar modern frameworks.
• ✨ Experience testing backend systems and REST APIs.
• ✨ Solid manual QA foundation, including exploratory testing, regression strategy, and defect triage.
• ✨ Ability to own quality end‑to‑end as the primary STE while collaborating with adjacent teams.
• ✨ Automation experience running in CI/CD pipelines and working in cloud environments (AWS preferred).
• ✨ Experience maintaining automation at scale across multiple releases.
• ✨ Experience with C# or Java.
• ✨ Advanced English Level is required for this role, as you will work with US clients. Effective communication in English is essential to deliver the best solutions to our clients and expand your horizons.
