As aSenior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)at Tyler Technologies, you will play a vital role in ensuring our public safety solutions work reliably and efficiently at scale, supporting first responders with software used on the front lines of law enforcement, fire rescue, and public safety agencies across the United States.

We are looking for an experienced, pragmatically minded, visionary leader to move our testing practices to the next level by increasing automation and integration with our DevSecOps pipeline, expanding test coverage, coaching and guiding other testers, and engaging with designers and product owners to ensure requirements are testable.
