About Codem

Codem is a managed services and eCommerce transformation company working with enterprise clients across cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, and digital commerce. We place senior engineers into long-term embedded roles where they own real technical scope alongside the client's own engineering teams — not staff augmentation on the margins.

The SET function described here is being built inside the client's engineering organization; You would be Codem engineer owning that scope on the ground.

Overview

Codem is hiring a Software Engineer in Test Lead — the first hire into a net-new SET function at one of our enterprise clients, a high-transaction-volume supply chain technology platform serving major consumer brands.
You'll set framework standards and tooling decisions before any embedded SETs are hired. That sequencing is deliberate: without a lead owning those decisions upfront, embedded SETs make independent tooling choices and diverge within two quarters.
The client already has a solid service-level unit testing foundation.



Your mandate is the next layer — AI-assisted, automated load testing — while owning E2E, regression, and contract standards across every product group as their SETs come online. You'll also partner with SRE on test environment strategy: a dedicated Test setting now, ephemeral per-PR environments in the mid-term.
This is for an engineer who's built a test automation practice from zero before — chosen the frameworks, set the standards, and watched other teams actually adopt them.
Why This Role

First hire into a brand-new function: every standard, tool, and pattern for how this platform tests software runs through your decisions.
Real budget, not a rubber stamp — you scope the AI-assisted test generation spend post-hire.
Cross-org scope immediately, and direct infrastructure influence: you co-design test environment strategy with SRE.

What You'll Build

Strategy & standards
Framework and tooling decisions for E2E, regress
