- Working knowledge of at least one programming language - Python preferred.
- Exposure to an automation framework such as PyTest, Playwright, or Robot Framework, through work, coursework, or personal projects.
- Understanding of REST API concepts (HTTP methods, status codes, JSON) and familiarity with a tool such as Postman or the requests library.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Hands-on experience with PyTest, Playwright (TypeScript or Python bindings) or Robot Framework.

- Write, execute, and maintain automated API tests using Playwright and Robot Framework.
- Review requirements and user stories, design and document test cases covering functional and non-functional scenarios.




- Execute manual exploratory testing on new features where automation coverage does not yet exist, and convert repeatable checks into automated tests.
- Triage failing tests in CI/CD pipelines, distinguish genuine product defects from flaky or environment-related failures, and escalate appropriately.
- Log transparent, well-evidenced defects with reproduction steps, logs, and screenshots, and track them through to closure.
- Use Git for day-to-day version control- branching, pull requests, and responding to code review feedback on your test code.
- Contribute to test data setup, environment configuration, and small automation utilities that reduce manual effort.
- Collaborate with developers and product managers on quality risks.

We are looking for an early-career Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to help us build and maintain the automated tests that keep our products reliable. You will work alongside developers and senior SDETs to write test automation, expand our regression coverage, and investigate failures in our CI pipelines. This is a hands-on engineering role: you will spend most of your time writing code, not clicking through screens.

It is an ideal role for someone who enjoys breaking things on purpose, is comfortable in a codebase, and wants to grow into a strong quality engineer with a solid automation foundation.
