Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Your Role

We are looking for a Software Developer in Test to join our fully remote QA team (EU-based candidates only). You will contribute to the design, development, and maintenance of automated testing solutions that help ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of our platforms.

You’ll work closely with developers, DevOps engineers, and fellow QA engineers to embed automation into our delivery pipelines and continuously improve how we test. This role suits someone who enjoys building solid, maintainable automation and contributing positively to a mature QA practice.

Our environment values planning and quality, while also recognising that priorities can occasionally shift as products evolve. We’re looking for someone who can adapt thoughtfully, stay constructive, and keep quality moving forward.

Your Responsibilities

• Design, develop, maintain, and improve automated test suites for UI and API testing
• Collaborate with developers and QA team members to ensure meaningful, risk-based test coverage
• Integrate and maintain automation within CI/CD pipelines
• Analyse test results, identify trends and risks, and provide actionable feedback to engineering teams
• Contribute to automation strategy, tooling decisions, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Ensure automation is scalable, maintainable, and efficient, identifying opportunities for optimisation
• Balance long-term automation goals with short-term quality needs when required
• Communicate clearly and constructively during code reviews and technical discussions
• Participate actively in Agile ceremonies (planning, stand-ups, retrospectives)
• Stay up to date with modern testing techniques, tools, and engineering best practices

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in QA automation/SDET or a similar role
• Strong programming experience with JavaScript / TypeScript
• Hands-on experience with modern automation frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, TestCafe, WebdriverIO, Jest, Mocha, or similar
• Solid understanding of API testing (REST, GraphQL)
• Experience integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, etc.)
• Working knowledge of microservices architectures and how they impact testing strategies
• Working knowledge of cloud-based and containerised environments (e.g. AWS, Docker, Kubernetes), sufficient to test, debug, and collaborate effectively with engineering teams
• Working knowledge of edge or traffic-layer platforms such as Cloudflare, including how caching, routing, security rules, or rate limiting can impact testing and automation
• Strong understanding of Git-based workflows
• Excellent analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills
• Ability to work effectively in a remote, distributed team
• Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset
• A strong sense of ownership and responsibility for quality

Where and When

From wherever you want, the position is fully remote in the EU. We’re very flexible about when you get your work done, but we do have some core hours where we like to overlap in order to promote collaboration and low-latency communication between team members (10:00 to 15:00 CET).
