Staff SDET

Responsibilities:

• Mentor SDETs through structured reviews, code reviews, and development planning.
• Influence engineers across squads without relying on reporting authority.
• Champion that quality is built in, not tested in, across engineering.
• Partner with the AI Agents Engineer to evaluate and improve the Testing Agent.

Requirements:

• 7+ years of SDET/QA engineering experience, including at least 2 years at the staff/principal/lead level or equivalent scope.
• Strong hands-on automation depth across at least two test frameworks, including pytest and/or Java-based frameworks such as JUnit/TestNG.
• Strong Java and Spring understanding; able to read application code, identify testability issues, and review test design meaningfully.
• Hands-on CI/CD quality pipeline ownership; has written CI YAML, configured required checks, and debugged pipeline/test infrastructure issues.
• Experience with static analysis and quality tools such as SonarQube, mypy, pylint, Checkstyle, SpotBugs, or equivalent.
• Experience with contract/component testing for distributed services.
• Experience with Docker and containerized test environments.
• Experience defining test strategy from scratch for inherited systems and driving remediation using data.
• Experience with ML/model regression or accuracy evaluation, or strong adjacent experience in data-heavy correctness testing.
• Strong SQL and BigQuery ability for defect analysis, trend rollups, accuracy/reliability correlation, and dashboard validation.
• Excellent leadership communication: can present quality health to engineering leadership with data.
