Role Description We are seeking a Software Engineer in Test (SDET) / QA Automation Engineer to join our Engineering Team! As a Software Engineer in Test, you will own the automated testing that keeps our platform dependable at the scale enterprises bet their partner revenue on. You will be embedded in an agile product team, testing new features hands-on, building resilient end-to-end automation with Playwright in C#/.NET, and extending coverage into API test suites wired into our GitLab CI/CD pipelines. Your key objective is to make risk-based calls on what to automate versus explore, surface the signals the team needs to ship with confidence, and treat quality as an engineering discipline rather than a checkbox at the end of a sprint. This role is ideal for someone with a strong engineering foundation who has owned end-to-end automation at scale, communicates clearly across technical and non-technical audiences, and wants to be an embedded quality owner with real ownership and autonomy. - Test your team's work, hands-on — embedded in an agile team, inspecting new features day to day with manual and exploratory testing first, reporting defects clearly, and automating what's worth keeping. - Own our end-to-end automation with Playwright — designing, building, and evolving UI automation in C#/.NET across our web application, focused on resilient tests rather than brittle ones. - Test beyond the UI by building API test suites that validate our services and integrations, and wiring everything into GitLab CI/CD so every change is checked automatically — fast, stable, and trusted. - Use AI as a daily lever, working with tools like Claude Code to write and maintain tests faster and widen coverage, with the judgment to know what to trust and what to verify. - Own failures end to end — reproducing, root-causing, and reporting clearly, then partnering with engineers to get fixes shipped and verifying they landed. - Shape test strategy by making risk-based calls on what to automate versus explore, and surfacing the signals the team needs to ship with confidence. Qualifications - A strong engineering foundation — 5+ years building or testing production software, fluent in C# (or a comparable language). - Experience owning E2E automation at scale — you've built or substantially evolved a Playwright (or Selenium/Cypress) suite, and you know why suites go brittle and how to fix it at the root, not with retries. - Strong, practical use of AI coding tools with a formed point of view on where they shine and where they mislead. - Exceptional communication skills — you can explain a bug, a risk, or a trade-off clearly to engineers, PMs, and non-technical stakeholders, and back a hold-the-release call with evidence. Preferred Qualifications - API testing depth, including Postman/REST fundamentals, SQL, and data validation. - TypeScript/JavaScript fluency — enough to read a modern front end. - CI/CD pipeline authoring experience, such as GitLab CI or similar. - Familiarity working within agile sprints, code review, and Jira-based workflows. What Success Looks Like - A resilient, trusted Playwright automation suite that catches regressions without brittle, flaky failures. - Growing API test coverage integrated into GitLab CI/CD, giving the team fast, reliable signal on every change. - Effective use of AI tools to widen test coverage and speed up test authoring without sacrificing quality. - Clear, evidence-backed bug reports and risk assessments that engineers and PMs can act on quickly. - Strong collaboration with engineering to reproduce, root-cause, and verify fixes end to end. - Trusted, risk-based judgment on what to automate versus explore, giving the team confidence to ship. Benefits - Opportunity to own quality as an embedded engineering discipline, with real ownership and autonomy on a product team. - Work at meaningful scale, protecting the platform enterprises rely on to run partner-led revenue. - Hands-on use of modern tools — Playwright for .NET (C#/NUnit), Postman, GitLab CI/CD, and AI coding tools like Claude Code. - Collaborative, entrepreneurial culture focused on innovation and growth. - Competitive compensation and benefits, with ongoing professional development opportunities. - Clear career path within engineering and quality leadership as the team and platform scale. Job Location While this is a 100% Remote position, we require that candidates are located in one of the following states: - Arizona - California - Colorado - Florida - Georgia - Indiana - Iowa - Michigan - Minnesota - Nebraska - Nevada - New Hampshire - North Carolina - Oklahoma - Pennsylvania - Texas - Utah - Virginia - Washington Compensation The compensation range for this role is $50,000-$63,000.
