BONUS POINTS * Experience with test framework orchestration tools (pytest, Cypress, Playwright, or similar). * Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, bus communication protocols, or edge-to-cloud data verification. * Experience testing event-driven systems or queue-based integration patterns. * Exposure to defense, maritime, or regulated environments with strict software verification and validation (V&V) standards. ## Description We are hiring a Senior Software Test Engineer to own the automated test frameworks, quality assurance tooling, and integration pipelines for our core systems. You will build and scale internal test platforms, design automated verification suites, and validate hardware-to-cloud data flows to ensure our edge platforms and back-office systems operate with high reliability. This is a senior startup role for an engineer who can move quickly from initial system requirements to production-ready test automation, make pragmatic architecture choices, and deliver validation tools that empower engineering teams to ship code with confidence. WHAT YOU'LL DO * Design, build, and deploy automated test frameworks and internal validation tools used by software, hardware, and operations teams. * Develop end-to-end integration tests, regression suites, and ETL data quality checks to validate system telemetry and third-party API integrations. * Build backend integration services and test automation scripts (Python, TypeScript, or Java) to simulate real-world operational environments. * Establish monitoring, automated alerting, and CI/CD testing pipelines to ensure continuous integration and software quality across deployments. * Investigate complex software, firmware, and data integration failures, conducting root-cause analysis across distributed systems. * Partner directly with cross-functional engineering teams to define test plans, qualification procedures, and system performance benchmarks. ## Related Videos - [Innovating Developer Tools with AI: Insights from GitHub Next](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1268-innovating-developer-tools-with-ai-insights-from-github-next) - [pytest: Simple, rapid and fun testing with Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/213-pytest-simple-rapid-and-fun-testing-with-python) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [Continuous testing - run automated tests for every change!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/190-continuous-testing-run-automated-tests-for-every-change) - [Bringing AI Model Testing and Prompt Management to Your Codebase with GitHub Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1536-bringing-ai-model-testing-and-prompt-management-to-your-codebase-with-github-models) - [Automagic Configuration in Python](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/363-automagic-configuration-in-python) ## Related Articles - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [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) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [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) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated)
