Software Development Engineer in Test

Overview

Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) role on a product engineering pod, combining hands-on manual testing with test automation to keep feature and regression coverage reliable across backend services and the mobile app.

What you'll do

• Maintain, stabilize, and extend existing BVT and regression automation suites across backend services and the mobile app.
• Triage flaky tests, fix breakages, and improve suite reliability.
• Build in-sprint automation by converting prioritized feature and regression test cases into automated coverage.
• Perform day-to-day manual testing, including feature and sprint testing, BVT execution, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Provide timely release feedback and sign-off.
• Maintain QA tooling and test infrastructure, including test data, test environments, and reporting, so the pod can test without delays.
• Keep automated tests running in CI/CD pipelines, investigate failures, identify root causes, and report clear, reproducible defects.
• Partner with developers on API and integration checks to identify issues earlier in the development cycle.
• Use AI tools such as Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and other LLM-based tools to support test authoring, debugging, and maintenance.
• Keep test cases, suites, and documentation current, and contribute reusable utilities that reduce ongoing maintenance.

What you'll need

• 3–6 years of experience in SDET roles, with a blend of manual testing and test automation.
• Hands-on programming experience in at least one language, such as Java, Python, or JavaScript.
• Experience writing, maintaining, and extending tests within an existing automation framework for UI, API, integration, or backend testing.
• Strong manual testing fundamentals across functional, regression, system, end-to-end, exploratory, and BVT testing.
• Experience testing features within an Agile or Scrum sprint cycle.
• Practical exposure to CI/CD test integration using tools such as Jenkins or GitHub Actions.
• Good debugging and root-cause analysis skills, including the ability to triage test failures and flaky tests.
• Working knowledge of test data management and test environment upkeep.
• Experience using AI tools to support test creation, expand coverage, or accelerate debugging.
• Clear written communication, especially when documenting reproducible defects, and the ability to collaborate effectively within a pod or Scrum team.

Nice to have

• Experience in real-money gaming (RMG) or B2C companies.
