Senior Sdet Engineer

Be a Contributor What Youll Do:

• Architect, develop, and own core components of the test-automation framework,shared libraries, and ephemeral test environments used across platform and application teams
• Design and implement the quality gates governing artifact promotion entry and exit criteria, pass/fail logic, evidence collection, hold-and-return behavior, and automated rollback
• Lead integration of automated testing into CI/CD pipelines across pre-merge, build,deploy, post-deploy, and scheduled certification runs
• Build the reporting layer that makes readiness defensible readiness scorecards, coverage, escape rate, flakiness, and quality and risk views for engineering leadership
• Automate deployment, upgrade, mixed-version, and rollback validation across dev, integration, and staging clusters
• Set technical direction and standards for automation design, test data,environment management, and pipeline reliability, and drive adoption across teams
• Advance AI-assisted development and AI-generated test coverage within the team, establishing effective patterns and guardrails
• Lead complex failure investigations spanning code, tests, environments, and infrastructure, and drive systemic fixes with owning teams
• Partner with Solutions QA to align coverage boundaries and with SRE to consume scale, HA, DR, and chaos results as gate inputs
• Mentor engineers, lead design and code reviews, and contribute to hiring and to the teams technical growth
• Own documentation and runbooks for the automation and gate framework, and represent CDA in release-readiness and go/no-go reviews Internal

Be Prepared What You Bring:

• Seven or more years of software engineering, test automation, or quality engineering experience, including demonstrated technical leadership of a significant automation or delivery-assurance area
• Strong proficiency in modern programming language such as Python, with the ability to design systems and review others code
• Proven record architecting test-automation frameworks and quality gates and integrating them into CI/CD using tools such as Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Argo, or Spinnaker
• Deep system-level knowledge of Kubernetes and Linux workloads, networking, storage, Helm, operators, resource behavior, and debugging plus solid experience with a public cloud such as AWS or GCP
• Strong DevOps skills including containers, infrastructure as code such as Terraform, configuration management, and building or operating test and deployment environments at scale
• Demonstrated use of AI-assisted development tools to accelerate framework development, test generation, and coverage expansion, with judgment about where they apply
• Depth in testing distributed systems and microservices, including REST or gRPC APIs, event-driven systems, and cloud-native applications
• Experience with release engineering concepts such as artifact promotion, progressive delivery, canary and deployment verification, and rollback
• Strong communication and influence skills, with a record of mentoring engineers and driving adoption of shared tooling across teams
• Bachelors or masters degree in computer science, engineering, or a related technical field, or equivalent practical experience
• Nice to have: experience with performance, resilience, contract, or security testing; progressive delivery and canary validation; release engineering; and contributions to shared engineering frameworks or developer-productivity tooling.
