We view testing and quality as engineering disciplines, not as a final checkpoint.
The RoleWe are hiring a Senior SDET to own and evolve our testing strategy across backend services, APIs, and AI-driven workflows.
This role focuses on engineering quality into the system, not on manual testing or after-the-fact validation.
What You’ll Do- Design and implement automated testing frameworks for backend services and APIs.
- Develop strategies and implement solutions for testing AI-driven workflows, including validating RAG outputs and agent behavior.
- Develop integration, contract, and end-to-end tests for event-driven systems.

- Strong programming experience in TypeScript, Python, or .NET.
- Experience testing distributed, asynchronous, or event-driven systems.

- Familiarity with AWS-based systems and CI/CD pipelines.
- Ability to think like both an engineer and a systems-level skeptic.
- .NET, Python, TypeScript
- REST and GraphQL APIs
- Event-driven architecture
- AWS, containerized services
- Terraform for infrastructure
- CI/CD pipelines with automated quality gates
- Quality is a shared responsibility across engineering.
- SDETs are peers and collaborators, not gatekeepers
- We favor early feedback, clear signals, and actionable data.
- Remote collaboration and clear communication are essential.
- You prefer manual testing over automation.
- You see quality as a phase rather than a system property.
- You are uncomfortable challenging design decisions constructively.
