Role Description As a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Ordermesh Inc, you will be a key force in evolving our automation-first quality culture across a complex microservices platform (Kafka, NoSQL, REST APIs, async workflows). The role is less about manual gatekeeping and more about building CI-integrated quality pipelines that let developers ship confidently and independently. It's for someone who wants to own the full automation strategy — from build-time testing to real-time quality metrics. What You’ll Do - Champion an automation-first mindset; manual testing should be the exception, not the rule. - Design, build, and scale automated test frameworks for APIs, UI, and end-to-end microservice validation using Node.js, Playwright, and related frameworks. - Develop load and resilience testing suites with Grafana k6 to benchmark and harden distributed systems. - Integrate test execution and quality gates deeply into GitHub Actions, ensuring every commit, PR, and deployment is validated by automation. - Collaborate closely with MCPs: Kafka event flows, service mesh routing (Istio), and inter-service contracts to design automated validation of message schemas, ACLs, and service dependencies. - Mock endpoints with services like microcks or postman to simulate responses. - Lead TDD adoption by embedding test scaffolds into developer workflows and enforcing test coverage standards across repositories. - Embed security testing and data validation checks into automation frameworks for proactive vulnerability detection. - Create test observability dashboards (via Grafana or Datadog) that expose quality metrics alongside performance and error budgets. - Perform exploratory testing to supplement automation with contextual discovery and edge-case validation. - Collaborate with developers, SREs, and product managers to drive a shared understanding of quality across environments. Qualifications - 3+ years of hands-on experience building and maintaining automated test frameworks for microservice and web applications. - Strong proficiency in Node.js, JavaScript/TypeScript, or equivalent modern language. - Demonstrated experience integrating tests into CI/CD systems; ideally GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps. - Proven track record in load testing (Grafana k6) and performance analysis at scale. - Experience validating MCP integrations including: message brokers (Kafka), service meshes (Istio), and REST/gRPC endpoints. - Working knowledge of Playwright or similar browser automation frameworks. - Understanding of TDD, security testing, and DevSecOps principles. - Excellent debugging, observability, and root-cause analysis skills. - Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience. - Passion for driving automation-first culture and mentoring others in modern test engineering practices. Bonus Qualifications - Experience with Azure, Kubernetes, and containerized CI environments. - Familiarity with contract testing frameworks for validating MCP communication. - Experience with Grafana, Datadog, or similar platforms for system and test observability. - Familiarity with B2B, eCommerce, or fulfillment ecosystems.
