Key Skills: SDET, Java, JavaScript, plunk, AppDynamics, Dynatrace, Prometheus, Grafana, automation tools, AI productivity tools ## Description Sr Engineer, SDET is responsible for designing, developing, and sustaining automated testing solutions that ensure the quality, reliability, and performance of software systems throughout the development and sustainment lifecycle. This role translates business and functional requirements into test strategies, frameworks, and automated deliverables that support continuous delivery. The engineer provides technical leadership in test automation strategy, framework design, implementation, and execution, while partnering closely with software engineering and operations teams. Success is measured by the quality, maintainability, scalability, and performance of automated test solutions, as well as the role's impact on organizational quality standards and delivery confidence. What You'll Do * Design, develop, and maintain automation systems and tools to be used by development and test engineers. * Analyze code coverage using industry-standard tools (e.g., SonarQube). * Oversee integration of automated tests into the Continuous Delivery pipeline. * Design and author test cases for unit, functional, performance, scalability, and durability testing. * Design, build, and operate AI agents that automate software engineering testing tasks such as generating boilerplate code for new microservices, creating unit and API tests, analyzing logs, triaging incidents, and supporting CI/CD pipelines. * Manage and groom automated and manual test suites for balanced coverage and fast feedback cycles. * Work with IT partner teams to provide, create, or modify test data through repeatable, automated processes. * Provide internal training on testing skills and tools; contribute to the Test Community of Practice to evolve testing practices and standards. * Lead defect management and interface with external teams on test strategy and execution. * Ensure requirements and/or user stories are testable and provide estimates for user stories and tasks. * Coordinate with Dev and Ops regarding testing practices to ensure quality thresholds are met. * Contribute to design and code reviews. * Perform other duties and projects as assigned by business management. ## Related Videos - [Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/511-our-journey-with-spring-boot-in-a-microservice-architecture) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Test-Driven Development: It's easier than you think!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1598-test-driven-development-it-s-easier-than-you-think) - [Integrate your Cognitive Assistant with 3rd-party DBs and software](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/249-integrate-your-cognitive-assistant-with-3rd-party-dbs-and-software) - [Continuous testing - run automated tests for every change!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/190-continuous-testing-run-automated-tests-for-every-change) - [GitOps for the people](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/815-gitops-for-the-people) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Résumé-Driven Development: How IT trends affect the job market for software developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/59-resume-driven-development-how-it-trends-affect-the-job-market-for-software-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline)
