The Role
Owns end-to-end automated testing for software features, developing and maintaining tests across UI, API, contract, integration, and E2E layers. Responsibilities include debugging failures, improving test reliability, analyzing defects, supporting releases and on-call activities, contributing to CI/CD and quality metrics, collaborating with cross-functional teams, mentoring junior testers, and evaluating AI-powered testing tools.
Summary Generated by Built In

Caseware combines over 35 years of industry expertise with AI-powered technology to transform how audit and accounting professionals work. Serving organizations across 130 countries, we bring intelligent automation directly into audit and financial reporting workflows—helping professionals reduce manual work, navigate complexity, and focus on informed decisions. Join our global team and help build technology that strengthens trust in financial information.


The SDET II owns the automated testing of features within their squad, end to end. At this level the person designs, implements and executes automated tests across the platform, keeps the suite green and trustworthy, and debugs their own failures rather than escalating them. They are a full participant in the Central Quality Engineering function — partnering with product teams to embed quality into every phase of development through tooling, automation, infrastructure and reporting. This is also the level at which the person starts moving coverage down the test pyramid, away from purely UI-based validation toward API, contract and integration testing, because that is where reliability comes from. The SDET II contributes to Caseware’s move toward agentic development and testing, working with AI test harnesses applied within the quality engineering space. 

What you will do:

    • Designs, implements and executes automated tests across the platform, and owns the automated testing of new features developed within the squad. 

    • Creates, owns and reviews peers’ automation scripts, and takes ownership of keeping them green. 

    • Investigates and fixes automation failures by debugging daily automation runs and reports, without needing that work assigned. 

    • Contributes to quality releases and reduced time to market by adding meaningful automation coverage and by converting manual tests to automated ones. 

    • Contributes to improvements within the test pyramid — shifting away from sole reliance on UI validation toward lower levels of testing to increase reliability. 

    • Improves the stability and speed of E2E tests through better test data setup, test isolation and execution reliability; champions practices that reduce flaky tests and noisy signals. 

    • Performs root-cause analysis of defects using logs, browser dev tools, API calls and data inspection. 

    • Challenges acceptance criteria for each persona during refinement, and identifies during planning what should be automated. 

    • Handles on-call effectively and promptly, and reliably reproduces production defects. 

    • Assists during hotfix rollouts and other time-sensitive initiatives. 

    • Creates accurate, informative Jira tickets with the data needed to reproduce an issue. 

    • Gives credible automation effort estimates during refinement. 

    • Participates in and improves code review practice across the team. 

    • Contributes toward key delivery and quality metrics — test coverage, defect trends, test effectiveness, execution health, flakiness and regression rates — and uses them to refine practice. 

    • Collaborates with squad Development, Product, UX and Documentation members, and presents sprint demos to the squad and team. 

    • Mentors SDET I and co-op team members, and assists with onboarding new hires. 

    • Works with agentic testing capability and AI test harnesses applied within the quality engineering space, and contributes to evaluating what actually works. 

    • Works with DevOps to build and enhance the CI/CD pipeline. 

What you will bring:

    • 2+ years of experience in quality engineering teams, ideally within a modern SaaS or platform organisation in a cloud-native environment (AWS). 

    • Solid hands-on experience in TypeScript, HTML and CSS; Java and JavaScript depending on the platform. 

    • Core automation skills and a working understanding of the frameworks and tools used for web application and microservices testing — in-depth knowledge of Cypress with TypeScript, or the willingness to get there quickly. 

    • Knowledge of testing strategies and tools across the pyramid, from unit through to E2E, including API contract and integration testing (Pact, K6). 

    • Understanding of cloud, microservice and third-party-integration-based architecture, and of databases. 

    • Extensive knowledge of version control systems such as Git and their application to managing test artifacts. 

    • Working knowledge of GitHub Actions or Jenkins, and experience working with DevOps to build and enhance a CI/CD pipeline. 

    • Familiarity with observability tooling and with practices that improve test signal and pipeline feedback loops. 

    • Experience working in a fast-paced agile environment with changing priorities. 

    • Strong communication, time management, interpersonal and team-building skills. 

    • A keen eye for detail and well-developed problem-solving skills. 

    • Practical interest in AI-powered testing tools such as GitHub Copilot and Claude, and the judgement to know where they help and where they do not. 

    • Nice to have: experience testing Angular / AngularJS applications with Cypress-class frameworks; IntelliJ; and working knowledge of the accounting, auditing or financial domain. 

What's in it for you:

  • Shape what’s next with AI: Help transform audit and accounting through AI-powered technology. Explore new ways to bring AI into our own workflows, rethink how work gets done, and turn ideas into meaningful improvements for our teams and customers. 

  • Make an impact that matters: Contribute to solutions that help professionals navigate complexity, make informed decisions, and strengthen trust in financial information around the world. 

  • Bring your voice. Expand your perspective: Collaborate with a diverse global team where your ideas are valued, knowledge is shared, and different perspectives lead to better outcomes. 

  • Build a career that grows with you: Develop your skills, take on new challenges, and explore career opportunities as our business and technology evolve. 

  • Thrive at work and beyond: Enjoy competitive compensation, comprehensive benefits, recognition programs, and performance bonuses, alongside flexible work options, remote opportunities, and generous time off.
