Job Description

Role Overview

As a Senior SDET, you will play a critical role in shaping our test automation strategy and tooling for enterprise-grade security and identity software. You’ll be responsible for designing and maintaining automated test frameworks, enabling CI/CD pipelines, and ensuring product quality across complex distributed systems. You’ll work closely with development teams to build testable software, drive automation coverage, and continuously improve release confidence.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable automated tests for backend services, APIs, and integrations.
• Implement comprehensive test strategies covering functional, performance, integration, and security use cases.
• Perform manual testing of new features in early development cycles to validate functionality, usability, and edge cases before automation is in place.
• Contribute to shift-left testing by working closely with developers to embed quality into design and development workflows.
• Build automated regression suites into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous deployment.
• Investigate, triage, and debug complex issues in production and test environments.
• Drive root cause analysis of test failures and production defects.
• Contribute to the evolution of internal test tools and frameworks.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with development, DevOps, product management, and support teams.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience as an SDET, QA automation engineer, or equivalent software engineering in test role.
• Experience building and maintaining test frameworks for REST APIs, microservices, and backend systems.
• Solid understanding of testing methodologies: unit, integration, performance, and end-to-end.
• Familiarity with identity and access management (IAM) concepts and protocols such as OAuth2, SAML, SCIM, and Zero Trust.
• Experience with containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
• Hands-on experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CircleCI).
• Experience working in Linux environments and using tools like curl, jq, traceroute, tcpdump, etc.
• Strong debugging and analytical skills; comfortable working with logs, metrics, and monitoring tools like Grafana or Kibana.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Go programming language in testing or development contexts.
• Familiarity with performance and load testing tools (e.g., Locust, Gatling, JMeter).
• Background in security or identity software testing.
• Knowledge of common security vulnerabilities and secure coding/testing practices.
• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform, Ansible) and DevSecOps principles.

Who You Are

• Quality-first mindset with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and breaking down complex technical problems.
• Proactive communicator with the ability to clearly articulate test results and risk assessments.
• Curious, growth-oriented, and passionate about automation and reliability.

Why Join Us

• Be part of a high-impact team shaping the quality strategy for enterprise-grade security solutions.
• Work with modern technologies and contribute to a high-performance engineering culture.
• Enjoy a flexible remote work environment with opportunities for growth, learning, and innovation.
