Position Description:

We’re hiring a Software Developer in Test (SDET) Lead to join the quality engineering team—driving scalable, modern approaches to testing, automation, and developer enablement. Reporting into the Central Quality function and working within the SE Platform team, this role is uniquely positioned to drive the quality strategy across foundational platform areas that underpin our most critical innovations. What makes this role especially exciting: we’re not just building traditional apps. We’re accelerating delivery of advanced Cloud Engagements and moving toward agentic AI capabilities—systems that defy conventional testing and require a new way of thinking around test strategy, verification and validation. If you’re energized by the challenge of enabling velocity while maintaining trust and quality on an ever-evolving cloud ecosystem, this is the opportunity to shape that future.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Being part of the Central Quality Engineering Function

Represent the team of Software Developers in Test (SDETs) who partner closely with product teams to embed quality into every phase of development—through tooling, automation, infrastructure, reporting and best practices.

• Practice Quality Strategy Across the Platform

Contribute within a modern quality strategy tailored to the demands of a rapidly scaling SaaS platform. Impact through improvements within the test pyramid, shifting away from sole UI-based validation towards lower levels of testing to increase reliability.

Contribute to Improving CI/CD and Developer Workflows

Enhance the stability and speed of our E2E tests by making improvements to test data setup processes, test isolation, and execution reliability. Ensuring quality is built in from development to deployment without sacrificing team velocity and promoting actionable test failure signals to shorten feedback loops and increase developer confidence. Champion tooling and practices that reduce flaky tests and noisy signals.

• Functional Testing, from Idea to Value delivered

Work with the test team to ensure timely completion of functionality and enhancements as driven by the roadmaps for the team. Provide horizontal support across the test team where necessary to take the team to the finish line. Participate in all the testing phases to positively impact lead time to value.

• Drive Quality KPIs

Track key DORA metrics such as test coverage, defect trends, test effectiveness and execution health, flakiness, and regression rates. Use these insights to continually refine the quality practices and guide investments in automation and infrastructure.

• Drive Culture and Practice Alignment

Contribute to our team by embodying our core values: Uphold Powered by Trust through instilling a quality-first mindset. Reflect Many Voices, One Team by actively engaging in cross-functional initiatives to ensure Quality influences design, planning, implementation, testing, deployment, monitoring and incident reviews. Exemplify Innovation with Impact by sharing testing methodologies with developers and fellow SDETs, and by consistently applying a growth mindset to your professional responsibilities.

What You Will Bring

• 5+ years’ experience working in Quality Engineering teams within modern SaaS or platform organizations in cloud-native environments (AWS).
• Expertise in working with scaling automated testing infrastructure, including integration with modern CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Workflows).
• Knowledge of testing strategies and tools across the pyramid, from unit to E2E, including API contract and integration testing (Cypress, Pact, K6).
• Solid front-end knowledge and testing fluency in HTML/CSS and JavaScript/TypeScript, enabling effective collaboration across full-stack teams.
• Familiarity with observability tools and best practices for improving test signal and pipeline feedback loops.
• Strong communication and coaching skills with the ability to influence fellow engineering and product stakeholders across the org.
• Foster a cross platform collaborative testing mindset to ensure quality flows through the Clients Cloud Ecosystem
• Experience leading testing initiatives for distributed teams across multiple regions
• Experience in integrating QA tools like Zephyr Scale and on-prem CI/CD systems (GitHub)
• A strategic growth mindset paired with a desire to learn and mentor others with a pragmatic, system-thinking approach to quality at scale.
• Keen interest to stay updated on the latest industry trends like AI powered Testing.
