Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

The role

We're looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test to join our engineering team. We have a well-established automation framework and regression suite. Your job is to assess what’s working, stabilise and extend what’s worth keeping, retire what isn’t, and build the additional coverage needed, establish testing practices, or coach the engineering team in a shift-left model

What you’ll do

• Evaluate, stabilise, and extend the existing automated test frameworks (Playwright- Java/Javascript and Selenium/Java) — preserving what works, rebuilding what doesn’t, and adding coverage for new capabilities
• Write and maintain RESTAssured API integration tests, validate contracts, error paths, and edge cases
• Own CI/CD test execution in Jenkins and CircleCI; reduce flakiness and improve regression signal quality
• Maintain a documented manual regression suite for flows that require live environments — OAuth handshakes, real email delivery, package installs
• Coach developers to write unit and integration tests as part of their normal workflow; review PRs for coverage gaps

What we’re looking for

• 3-5 years of SDET experience with strong coding skills
• Proficiency in Java and/or JavaScript
• Hands-on experience with:
  • Playwright and/or Selenium
  • REST Assured (or equivalent API testing frameworks)
• Proven experience:
  • building OR taking ownership of automation frameworks
  • improving existing test suites (not just writing tests)
