We are looking for a Software Development Engineer In Test II, oriented towards quality, to build robust frameworks that validate customer journey flows and end to end scenarios, building quality at the source to enable developer ownership of building and testing features to production. You will formulate the right tools and frameworks developers will adopt, build and execute the integration points for testing in the deployment pipelines, and possess the ability to design and execute a testing plan that is scalable, maintainable, and widely adopted by the development team. A strong understanding of ways to move testing practices earlier into the development lifecycle is highly valued!

Technologies we use:

• Backend: Node.js, Kotlin, Java, Go
• Frontend: React, Redux, Swift, Kotlin

• Define the scope and procedures for quality engineering of the application, including the development and maintenance of automated test scripts using Appium, Kotest, Cypress frameworks.
• Determining the best automation framework fit to enable developers to own testing features as part of the acceptance criteria.
• Design and build agent-driven test automation frameworks that can autonomously generate, execute, and maintain test cases across web, api and mobile platforms
• Develop AI agents for test case generation using product specs, user flows, and historical defects
• Implement self-healing automation to improve test stability and reduce maintenance overhead
• Test APIs for resiliency, latency, and performance across many components.
• Assist in the process and plan for extending all tests and bring them to automated build tests
• Collaborate with developers and product owners to understand customer's needs, focus on important features of the application, database use and have automate everything mind set
• Understand how to create reusable components in projects to distribute as libraries and packages, for consumption across other applications
• Triage potential problems with logging solutions, and identify the best course of action for test coverage at a unit, integration and e2e level, for future mitigation during production incidents.
• Interface with service teams on a regular basis and execute POCs or workshops that enable improvements to the testing lifecycle. Some examples include: training newer team members on existing frameworks, soliciting feedback on potential tools or utilities that would improve confidence in shipping, and speaking and facilitating at Communities of Practice
• Understand and support the implementation of quality in the CI/CD pipeline; identify when, where and how tests should run, and update pipeline files to achieve those goals
• Own testing metrics to track to identify gaps and identify ways to report the metrics to drive improvements at multiple levels.
• Demonstrate behaviors which are aligned with the organization's desired culture and core values.
