Senior Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET)

We are building the Customer Lifetime Orchestrator — an omni-channel marketing and customer engagement platform that helps banks engage end customers and influence financial behaviour.

As Senior SDET, you own quality for this domain together with the engineering team: test strategy, automation completeness, and the team's ability to execute effectively. This is a hands-on test design and automation role — not a downstream QA handoff.

You will partner with Product, UX, and full-stack engineers (web, mobile, backend, AI-assisted features) to shift quality left and scale automation.

• Co-author acceptance criteria and Gherkin scenarios with Product; act as quality gatekeeper before releases.
• Build and maintain Playwright web E2E tests for real-world customer journeys across engagement channels.
• Govern mobile E2E strategy (Android/iOS) with engineers; use device-farm/matrix testing.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD with GitHub Actions (smoke, regression, quality gates).
• Manage test environments with Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm.
• Use Grafana (or similar) to analyse test results and improve feedback loops.
• Combine automation with exploratory and manual testing for edge cases; reduce flakiness and improve parallelization.
• Coach engineers on TDD, BDD, contract tests, synthetic data, and shift-left practices.
• Advocate AI-assisted testing (generation, visual regression, maintenance).

Required

• 5+ years as SDET or hands-on QA with an automation-first mindset.
• Strong test planning and acceptance-criteria design with Product/UX.
• Playwright (web), Espresso (Android), XCUITest (iOS).
• Java and JavaScript/TypeScript; Angular SPA, mobile, microservices.
• API testing (REST, Postman, RestAssured or equivalent).
• CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Jenkins), BDD/Gherkin, web and mobile E2E.
• Cloud platforms (preferably Azure) and Docker/Kubernetes.
• Device/browser farms (Sauce Labs, BrowserStack, or equivalent).
• Git/GitHub, Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence).
• Non-functional testing (performance, security, accessibility, localization).
• Excellent communication in distributed teams (India, Vietnam, Europe).

Nice to have

• Digital banking, martech, or campaign/engagement management.
• Performance testing (k6, Gatling, JMeter).
• SaaS or enterprise software testing experience.
• AI/ML product testing; XRay, CucumberStudio, SonarCloud, security tooling.

What we offer

• Premium customer-facing platform used by leading banks worldwide.
• Shape quality engineering across web, mobile, backend, and AI orchestration.
• Global, distributed team with core hours in India and overlap with Europe.
