The SDET Level 2 is an experienced engineer focused on building and executing test automation solutions that ensure product reliability and user satisfaction. This role involves hands-on development of automated test cases across web, mobile, and API layers using modern tools and frameworks. As a core member of an Agile team, the SDET is responsible for translating business requirements into testable scenarios, contributing to BDD specifications, and ensuring complete functional and regression test coverage. The ideal candidate has solid programming fundamentals in JavaScript/TypeScript, working knowledge of automation frameworks, and a passion for shipping high-quality software. While this role operates under the guidance of senior engineers, the individual is expected to take ownership of their test areas, participate in continuous improvement initiatives, and actively collaborate with developers, product owners, and other QE peers to drive quality outcomes. Job Responsibilities: * Design, develop, and maintain automated test suites for web, API, and mobile applications. * Collaborate closely with developers, product managers, and QE peers in Agile teams to define and build test coverage for stories. * Participate in test design reviews and ensure adequate unit, integration, and system-level coverage. * Write scalable, maintainable, and reusable test automation code (primarily in TypeScript/JavaScript). * Execute functional, regression, and exploratory tests during development sprints. * Validate RESTful APIs using tools like Postman, Swagger, or API test frameworks. * Assist with integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions). * Triaging and debugging test failures, and reporting high-quality defects with traceability. * Document and track bugs and test cases using standard tools (Jira, Qmetry, etc.). * Provide test coverage metrics and participate in go/no-go decisions. * Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams. * Protect Chamberlain Group's reputation by keeping information confidential. * Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies. * Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed. ## Related Videos - [Continuous testing - run automated tests for every change!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/190-continuous-testing-run-automated-tests-for-every-change) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [How I Built QA from Scratch in a Scaling Startup - no fluff real life story](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2041-how-i-built-qa-from-scratch-in-a-scaling-startup-no-fluff-real-life-story) - [Collaboration Quantified: Lessons from Open Source Developer Networks](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1422-collaboration-quantified-lessons-from-open-source-developer-networks) - [Git for Code Reviews](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/429-git-for-code-reviews) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Integration And E2E Testing: Are They Complementary or Interchangeable?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/86-integration-and-e2e-testing-are-they-complementary-or-interchangeable) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges)
