Requirements
- 8+ years in software engineering or test engineering with a significant portion in SDET or quality infrastructure roles.
- E2E testing at scale: Playwright or equivalent (multi-browser config, auth flow automation, Page Object Model, trace collection, CI-tuned retry strategies).
- CI/CD pipeline design: GitHub Actions or equivalent (right tests at the right time, parallelized suites, cached dependencies, fast-fail before expensive e2e runs).
- Experience testing agentic systems: AI-driven workflows, orchestration pipelines, or agent-based systems and practical approaches for validating non-deterministic, multi-step behavior.
- Heavy agentic coding user: Claude Code, Copilot, or similar extensively in daily work.
- Test framework architecture experience: Designed and built test automation frameworks from scratch or significantly overhauled existing ones.
- Security and performance testing chops: Build automated security scans into CI, design load test scenarios, set up performance baselines and regression detection.
- Strong shipping discipline: Balance comprehensive coverage with pragmatic delivery.
- Bias for ownership and action.
Responsibilities
- Own and overhaul the test strategy.
- Assess existing infrastructure, design a testing architecture covering unit, integration, contract, e2e, and performance layers.
- Build automation frameworks that scale.
- Create robust, maintainable test automation that keeps pace with a fast-moving product team. CI/CD integration is table stakes - you’ll own the entire quality pipeline.
- Test agentic systems. Design testing strategies for AI-driven workflows and orchestration pipelines. Tackle the hard problems: non-deterministic outputs, multi-step agent behavior, tool-use validation, fallback paths, and observability of agent decision-making. Build harnesses that can evaluate agent reliability at scale.
- Make security and performance testable. Build automated security scanning into the pipeline. Design performance test suites that catch regressions before they reach production. Establish baselines, thresholds, and alerting for latency, throughput, and resource consumption.
- Shift quality left. Work alongside developers to embed testing into the development workflow so quality is everyone’s responsibility.
- Leverage agentic coding extensively. Use tools like Claude Code as a core part of your workflow - for generating test scaffolds, analyzing coverage gaps, exploring edge cases, and accelerating repetitive testing tasks. Influence the team to adopt these tools where they demonstrably improve velocity and quality.
- Mentor and uplevel. Help engineers write better tests. Review test design, not just test code. Raise the bar on what the team considers “adequately tested.”
- Stay sharp. Keep a pulse on emerging trends in test engineering, AI-assisted QA, chaos engineering, and observability. Bring what’s relevant back to the team.
- Wear whatever hat is needed. Jump into production debugging, incident response, developer tooling, or anything else the team needs.
