Project Summary

We are looking for an SDET who combines software engineering skills with a passion for quality. Working in a rapid iterative agile environment, you will conduct testing (manual and automated), develop automats tests which include writing code and building high-quality test scripts which will be integrated into a CI/CD pipeline. You will work closely with developers, focus on testing efficiencies, and ensuring that software developed will address the organization’s business need or problem as defined in user stories and in adherence to the defined acceptance criteria.

Key Responsibilities

• Work as an SDET within an agile product team, partnering closely with software engineers, product owners, and architects to ensure quality is built into the solution from design through release.
• Design, develop, and maintain automated tests across UI, API, and integration layers using clean maintainable automation code.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (Azure DevOps) to enable continuous testing and fast feedback.
• Contribute to test strategy and test design, including defining test scenarios, edge cases, and acceptance criteria (Gherkin) aligned to user stories.
• Perform exploratory and targeted manual testing where appropriate to uncover high‑risk or complex defects that automation alone may not cover.
• Collaborate in requirements review, design discussions, and code reviews to improve testability, reliability, and overall software quality.
• Maintain and enhance automation frameworks, test data, and test environments as the product evolves.
• Execute and support functional, integration, regression, and API testing, and support performance, reliability, and security testing efforts as needed.
• Analyse test results, track defects, perform root cause analysis, and drive issues to resolution.
• Communicate test status, quality metrics, and risks clearly and transparently to the broader product team.
• Act as a quality champion, promoting best practices in testing, automation, and engineering excellence.

Required For This Opportunity

• Strong programming skills with C# (.NET/ .NET Core) OR Python; ability to write production‑quality automation code.
• Hands‑on experience building and maintaining test automation frameworks.
• Experience with modern automation tools such as: Playwright or Cypress for UI automation (either is acceptable) AND Postman and/or Swagger for REST API testing
• Experience testing RESTful APIs, backend services, and integrated systems.
• Solid understanding of CI/CD concepts, with hands‑on experience integrating tests into Azure DevOps pipelines (YAML preferred).
• Experience using Azure DevOps for: User stories, tasks, and acceptance criteria, Test case management and defect tracking
• Comfortable working across a modern tech stack: React, .NET, PostgreSQL/SQL Server
• Strong understanding of software testing fundamentals, including functional, integration, regression, and exploratory testing.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with the ability to diagnose complex issues and propose practical solutions.
• Experience in working with developers to ensure that systems are designed with testability, reliability, performance, and security in mind.
• Exposure to containerized or cloud‑hosted environments (Azure) - Docker, Kubernetes
• Proven ability to use analytical and problem-solving skills to gather appropriate data to diagnose the cause of a problem or to develop a solution.

Nice to Have Skills

• Familiarity with Agile/Scrum or Kanban delivery models in fast‑changing product environments.
• Experience with performance, load, or security testing tools.
• Prior experience influencing test strategy for large or complex enterprise systems.
