Software Development Engineer in Test

Role Overview:

About the role:

• Champion a quality-first mindset throughout the entire software development lifecycle. Develop and implement comprehensive test strategies and plans for a complex hybrid application, considering the unique challenges of both on-premise and cloud deployments.
• Collaborate with architects and development teams to understand system architecture, design, and new features to define optimal test approaches.
• Peruse the requirements documents thoroughly and thus design relevant test cases that cover new product functionality and the impacted areas.
• Design, develop, and maintain robust, scalable, and high-performance automated test frameworks and tools from scratch, utilizing industry-standard programming languages (e.g., Python, Java, Go).
• Manage and maintain test environments, including setting up and configuring both on-premise and cloud instances for testing.
• Execute new feature and regression cases manually, as needed for a product release.
• Familiarity with bug tracking platforms such as JIRA, Bugzilla, etc. is essential. Filing defects effectively, i.e., noting all the relevant details that reduce the back-and-forth, and aids quick turnaround with bug fixing, is an essential trait for this job
• Identify cases that are automatable, and within this scope, segregate cases with high ROI from low-impact areas to improve testing efficiency
• Analyze test results, identify defects, and work closely with development teams to ensure timely resolution.
• Willing to explore and increase understanding on Cloud/ On-prem infrastructure
