SDET I

About the Role

• Design, build, and maintain automation frameworks (API, UI, integration) with clean, reusable code.
• Write stable, data-driven tests for REST/gRPC services and web UI; enable shift-left testing with developers.
• Integrate tests into CI/CD (e g, Jenkins/GitHub Actions) with clear pass/fail signals and flaky-test management.
• Create test plans, test data, and environments; use mocks/stubs where needed.
• Drive defect triage and root-cause analysis with Dev/Product; ensure fast feedback.
• Track and improve quality metrics (coverage, defect-escape rate, build health, mean time to fix).
• Contribute to code reviews, quality standards, and documentation.
• Collaborate closely with Dev, QA, and Release teams to ensure on-time, high-quality releases.

  Must-Have Skills

• 0-2 years as SDET/QA Automation with strong coding in Java or Python (OOP, collections, debugging).
• Hands-on with Selenium or Playwright (UI) and REST API testing (Postman/REST Assured/pytest-requests).
• Experience with JUnit/TestNG/pytest, Git, and CI/CD (Jenkins/GitHub Actions).
• Solid understanding of testing levels (unit/integration/e2e), test design techniques, and test data management.
• Well versed with Linux environment and commands.
• Clear communication, ownership, and a bias for automation over manual repetition.

  Good-to-Have Skills

• Experience with Docker, basic Kubernetes concepts, and AWS (S3/EC2/CloudWatch).
• BDD (Cucumber/Behave) and allure/reporting tools.
• Performance testing (JMeter/k6) and basic security testing awareness.
• Exposure to monitoring/logs (Grafana/Prometheus/ELK) for verification in non-prod/prod.
