Overview
Senior Software Developer in Test (SDET) role focused on automation and manual testing of the suite of software products, ensuring alignment with business requirements and delivering a user-friendly experience. We are seeking a Senior SDET to lead automated testing, maintain test suites, triage failures, and contribute to manual testing for newer initiatives. Day-to-day responsibilities
Define risk-based test plans and acceptance criteria in partnership with Product/Engineering; translate user stories into clear test cases. Build and maintain automated tests (Cypress/TypeScript preferred) across E2E, integration, and API layers; create reusable utilities/page objects and stabilize flaky tests. Implement and own CI/CD test gates (smoke/regression) with parallelization and clear pass/fail signals; track coverage and test health metrics. Perform targeted manual/exploratory testing for new features, edge cases, and UX flows; drive regression for critical paths. Create and manage test data, mocks/fixtures, and environment configurations to keep tests deterministic and fast. Coordinate with engineers to reproduce, triage, and debug issues using logs/metrics/trace tools; verify fixes and prevent regressions. Own post-deploy smoke testing and release sign-off for web apps and mobile apps; document results and risks. Continuously improve the QA/SDET toolchain and practices (coding standards, coverage goals, flake budgets, reporting dashboards). What makes you qualified
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Software or related field (advanced degrees a plus). 5+ years in software testing with strong grounding in functional/regression and modern test design techniques (BC, EP, pairwise, etc.). 3+ years focused on test automation, including designing scalable frameworks and CI integration. Comfortable with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/CircleCI/GitLab), Git, and basic Docker; familiarity with env management and secrets. Strong analytical skills; fluency with SDLC/Agile and tooling (Atlassian suite or similar). Ability to produce clear documentation (test plans, traceability, results) and communicate risks to technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experience writing and maintaining automated tests (unit/integration/E2E) with a focus on reliability and maintainability. Experience with Cypress specifically (selectors, fixtures, commands, intercepts, parallelization). Additional information
The position is a contract position with immediate start expectations. The contractor will be expected to work during EST hours 9 AM - 5 PM EST (New York, USA). This position is open to international applicants.
