Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) - Remote

Overview

We’re looking for a Senior SDET to join a project at a leading data-intelligence company that enables organisations to “do more with trusted data”. Their platform spans data catalog, governance, quality, AI governance and observability — helping businesses turn data into a strategic asset.

In Short

• Design, develop and maintain automated test frameworks and scripts (Java, Playwright/TypeScript) for UI, API and backend-oriented systems.
• Integrate and optimise CI/CD pipelines to ensure automated testing is embedded into the delivery flow.
• Define what to test, how to test it and when — guide the team on test strategy (smoke, regression, end-to-end).
• Collaborate with developers, product managers and operations to troubleshoot defects, improve observability/testability and reduce bottlenecks.
• Perform exploratory testing, analyse customer-reported issues and use findings to enhance automation coverage and test design.
• Advocate for quality: you’ll initiate improvements in test practices, help build culture and push for continuous improvement.

Requirements

• Extensive experience in test engineering with strong software engineering capability.
• Proven ability to write, maintain and refactor automated tests/frameworks in Java and/or Python.
• Hands-on experience with Playwright/Typescript.
• Solid experience working with CI/CD pipelines, GitHub Actions/Jenkins or similar.
• Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS/GCP), containerisation (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with networking and security controls (e.g. authentication mechanisms).
• Quickly acquires necessary domain knowledge.
• Understands non-functional requirements for our product and advocates for proper treatment of these areas.
• Strong troubleshooting skills: reading stack traces, detecting flaky results, isolating root causes of failures.
• Good communication and collaboration skills — you’ll influence across engineering, product and QA.
• English fluency (written & spoken).

Benefits

• You’ll join a forward-looking team at the intersection of data, AI and enterprise governance.
• The role emphasises autonomy: you’ll be trusted to own the SDET agenda, influence test strategy and deliver real impact.
• You’ll work with modern tools: Playwright, Java automation frameworks, cloud environments and shift-left practices.
• You’ll be part of a growth-oriented, high-energy team where quality is a priority.
