About the role
Why you'll love this role
Join our Quality Engineering team as an SDET and help scale a reliable, efficient, and consistent automated testing ecosystem across engineering teams.You will manage automated test execution in the Lamdatest test environment, maintain and improve automation frameworks, troubleshoot failures, and strengthen CI/CD quality practices. This role focuses on enabling teams to execute, maintain, and improve automated testing rather than developing individual test cases.
What you'll do
Test Execution and Reliability
- Manage automated test execution in the Lamdatest test environment.
- Monitor test runs and investigate recurring, intermittent, and flaky failures.
- Support regression, integration, end-to-end, and release validation activities.
- Improve test execution speed, stability, scalability, and maintainability.
- Reduce test duplication and identify opportunities to expand automation coverage.
Automation Platforms and Frameworks
- Maintain, troubleshoot, and enhance existing automation frameworks.
- Integrate automated tests into shared execution workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
- Standardize framework usage, test tagging, test organization, and execution patterns.
- Improve test reporting, dashboards, notifications, and test health visibility.
- Maintain test environments, test data, configuration, dependencies, and execution infrastructure.
Cross-Functional Quality Engineering
- Analyze failures across application, automation, environment, data, and infrastructure layers.
- Partner with developers and platform teams to identify root causes and implement solutions.
- Improve application testability and increase release confidence.
- Implement and maintain automated quality gates within CI/CD pipelines.
- Support post-release validation and investigations involving testing or test environments.
- Document setup procedures, execution workflows, troubleshooting steps, and operational guidelines.
- Improve the quality engineering platform and developer experience through continuous process and tooling enhancements.
About you
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Engineering, or a related field.
- 4+ years of experience in SDET, test automation, quality engineering, or a similar engineering role.
- Strong programming skills in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Python.
- Hands-on experience maintaining and enhancing automated test frameworks.
- Experience with UI automation tools such as Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or WebdriverIO.
- Experience with API automation and validation using Postman, RestAssured, or similar tools.
- Experience managing automated test execution in shared or non-production environments.
- Strong understanding of automation architecture, execution strategies, and failure analysis.
- Familiarity with Git-based development workflows and CI/CD pipelines.
- Experience implementing or supporting automated quality gates.
- Strong troubleshooting skills across application, automation, environment, and infrastructure layers.
- Ability to influence and support multiple engineering teams without directly owning their codebases.
- Excellent communication, collaboration, and documentation skills.
- Experience with Playwright or other modern automation frameworks.
- Experience managing automated test execution in a centralized test environment.
- Experience with CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, Harness, or similar CI/CD platforms.
- Experience with flaky test detection, retry strategies, parallel execution, and test reporting.
- Exposure to AWS or other cloud platforms.
- Understanding of microservices and distributed systems.
- Experience with SQL and database validation.
- Experience managing test data, service dependencies, environment configuration, or containerized execution.
- Exposure to observability, logging, monitoring, and debugging tools.
- Experience standardizing automation practices across multiple engineering teams.
- Experience with AI-assisted testing tools and quality engineering practices.
