Role Summary
We are hiring a SDET to lead and actively execute our quality strategy within a cloud-native, serverless microservices platform on AWS — partnering closely with engineers while building and implementing scalable automation solutions hands-on.
This is not a traditional QA role. You will design, build, and evolve an automation-first testing strategy across backend services, event-driven integrations, APIs, frontend (Cypress), and CI/CD pipelines — working closely with engineering teams to reduce production defects, improve integration reliability, and modernize our overall quality approach.
Key Responsibilities
Redesign and enforce a scalable test strategy aligned with a healthy test pyramid Build robust API and integration automation frameworks Implement contract testing across microservices Validate serverless workflows (Lambda, event-driven flows, IAM, retries, DLQs) Integrate quality gates into CI/CD pipelines Reduce regression time and flaky test rates Mentor engineers and drive shared ownership of quality
Required Experience Strong programming skills (TypeScript/JavaScript/Node.js or similar) Proven experience building automation frameworks Deep experience testing REST APIs and distributed systems Hands-on AWS experience (Lambda, API Gateway, SQS/SNS, IAM) Experience with Cypress (or equivalent) for frontend automation CI/CD pipeline integration experience
