Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET/UI/API/Mapping/AI/Hybrid)

Attis; Denver (CO); Hybrid; USD 110,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

Attis seeks a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to own the production quality gate for a high‑resolution AI weather and orbital intelligence platform. You will build automated end-to-end tests across spatial frontend workflows and REST APIs, validating live data streams and visual outputs.

You’ll leverage frontier AI workflows daily and contribute to CI/CD gatekeeping, producing production fixes and tooling for frontend and platform codebases.

Qualifications

• U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder.
• Proven software engineering background with production coding experience alongside E2E automation (UI, API, and CI/CD).
• Daily fluency with frontier AI models and agentic coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to ship and validate code rapidly.
• Hands-on experience testing complex frontend state, asynchronous real-time data streams, and system failure modes.
• Based in (or willing to relocate to) the Denver/Boulder, CO area for a hybrid schedule (3+ days/week onsite).
• Bonus: Experience with spatial visualization libraries (MapLibre, Mapbox, deck.gl) or weather, aviation, and geospatial datasets.

Responsibilities

• Write and maintain automated end-to-end tests across complex spatial frontend workflows and backend REST APIs.
• Validate high-frequency asynchronous data updates (forecast uncertainty, data freshness, and live alert severity).
• Inspect visual model outputs on interactive dashboards to catch rendering anomalies and data artifacts before release.
• Build custom test tooling and synthetic data generators to simulate reproducible edge-case scenarios.
• Own CI/CD pipeline quality gates and ship direct production fixes across frontend and platform codebases.

Job description

Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Stack: E2E Automation (UI & API), CI/CD, Mapbox/MapLibre, Agentic AI (Claude, Cursor)

Mission: Owning the production quality gate for a high-resolution AI weather and orbital intelligence platform.

Tired of acting as a manual bug-catcher in slow-moving QA silos where you never touch real production code?

A high-growth global space-data platform just engineered a massive AI-driven weather forecasting engine delivering high-frequency global updates. They need an engineering-first SDET to take full ownership of the staging-to-production quality gate for their flagship visual intelligence platform serving commercial aviation, utilities, and logistics.

This isn't a traditional click-testing role. You'll use frontier agentic AI workflows daily to build synthetic data generators, automate complex spatial UI validation, and ship production bug fixes directly.

Why Build Here:

• AI-First Velocity: Leverage frontier agentic coding tools (Claude, Cursor) daily to accelerate test architecture, synthetic tooling, and debugging.
• Total Gatekeeper Autonomy: Own the CI/CD quality gates and make the final call on when staging releases are ready for production deployment.
• Production Code Contribution: Don't just file tickets—contribute production code, bug fixes, and features directly to the frontend and platform repos.
• High-Resolution Spatial Scale: Validate complex, live-updating geospatial models and visual telemetry with zero corporate bureaucracy.

The Tech & Work:

• Write and maintain automated end-to-end tests across complex spatial frontend workflows and backend REST APIs
• Validate high-frequency asynchronous data updates (forecast uncertainty, data freshness, and live alert severity)
• Inspect visual model outputs on interactive dashboards to catch rendering anomalies and data artifacts before release
• Build custom test tooling and synthetic data generators to simulate reproducible edge-case scenarios
• Own CI/CD pipeline quality gates and ship direct production fixes across frontend and platform codebases

Hard Filters:

• U.S. Citizen or Green Card holder
• Proven software engineering background with production coding experience alongside E2E automation (UI, API, and CI/CD)
• Demonstrated daily fluency with frontier AI models and agentic coding tools (Claude, Cursor, Copilot) to ship and validate code rapidly
• Hands-on experience testing complex frontend state, asynchronous real-time data streams, and system failure modes
• Based in (or willing to relocate to) the Denver/Boulder, CO area for a hybrid schedule (3+ days/week onsite)
• Bonus: Experience with spatial visualization libraries (MapLibre, Mapbox, deck.gl) or weather, aviation, and geospatial datasets
