Senior SDET - AI-Driven Reliability & DR Automation

Talentify; Seattle (WA); On-site; USD 140,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Socure is seeking a Senior SDET to design and implement automated quality and validation systems for DR and production environments, partnering with QA, SRE, and Engineering to validate critical workflows and improve observability.

You will build end-to-end test strategies for distributed systems, develop AI/ML-driven failure detection, and help drive self-healing capabilities across services, production, and resilience initiatives.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in QA Automation, SDET, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
• Strong experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks, including tools such as Playwright, Jest, SuperTest, and REST API testing frameworks.
• Experience working in cloud environments, preferably AWS.
• Familiarity with observability and monitoring platforms such as Datadog, New Relic, CloudWatch, Splunk, or similar tools.
• Strong programming skills in TypeScript, Python, Java, or similar languages.
• Experience designing end-to-end test strategies for distributed systems and production-like environments.
• Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to analyze failures across application, infrastructure, and workflow layers.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement automated functional health checks for DR and production environments using synthetic transactions and API validation.
• Build continuous validation pipelines that verify end-to-end business workflows such as authentication, transactions, and system integrations.
• Develop intelligent alerting mechanisms based on functional failures and customer-impacting behavior, not solely infrastructure metrics.
• Integrate observability signals including logs, metrics, and traces with automated test frameworks to improve system visibility and diagnosis.
• Develop AI/ML-driven approaches to detect failure patterns, correlate issues across services, and identify probable root causes.
• Build systems that recommend or trigger automated remediation actions to support early-stage self-healing capabilities.
• Partner cross-functionally with QA, SRE, and Engineering teams to improve service reliability, incident response, and recovery readiness.
• Define, measure, and report on functional SLAs, service health indicators, and quality metrics.
• Contribute to disaster recovery drills, readiness exercises, and automated validation efforts that improve resilience over time.
