Senior SDET, Agentic Quality

Team: IT

Location: Canada

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: remote

Accountabilities

• Strengthen existing automated test suites by improving reliability, expanding coverage, modernizing testing patterns, and eliminating flaky tests.

• Own and evolve shared test frameworks across unit, integration, and end-to-end testing, maintaining the same engineering standards applied to production code.

• Design, implement, and maintain CI/CD pipelines, automated checks, and quality gates that enforce engineering standards consistently.

• Build and improve agentic quality tooling, including AI-powered workflows for test design, code review, verification, and automated quality assurance.

• Partner with developers through pairing sessions, code reviews, and technical guidance to improve test design and make complex code easier to test.

• Promote a culture of shared quality ownership by documenting best practices and helping teams adopt sustainable testing practices.

• Integrate testability and production observability into feature planning, ensuring teams understand how to validate functionality and detect regressions.

• Develop and maintain metrics, dashboards, and alerts that identify production issues early and help teams assess release health.

• Contribute directly to production features, internal tooling, and new platform services while collaborating with engineering teams.

• Support safe releases through production monitoring and quality signals, helping teams determine when to continue deployment or initiate a rollback.

• Work across individual teams and the broader quality engineering organization to improve engineering practices, automation infrastructure, and delivery outcomes.

Requirements

• At least eight years of professional software development experience, regardless of job title.

• At least five years of hands-on experience building and maintaining test automation as an SDET, test automation engineer, or software engineer responsible for test infrastructure.

• Strong software engineering capabilities beyond writing tests, including experience building test frameworks, internal tools, CI tooling, or production features.

• Extensive practical experience with unit, integration, and end-to-end testing.

• Hands-on experience with browser automation frameworks such as Playwright or Cypress.

• Proven ownership of CI pipelines, including creating, configuring, troubleshooting, or improving workflows using GitHub Actions or equivalent tools.

• Demonstrated experience driving automated test coverage and quality practices within an engineering team.

• Working knowledge of DevOps practices, including software build processes, deployment, production monitoring, and observability.

• Experience implementing metrics, dashboards, or alerts to help teams detect and investigate production issues.

• Daily professional experience using AI coding agents, along with practical experience building or improving agentic tools and workflows.

• A collaborative, multiplier-oriented mindset, focused on enabling teams to deliver higher-quality software more efficiently.

• Excellent written and spoken English, approximately C1 level, and experience collaborating daily with international teams.

• Ability to work remotely from Brazil while reliably aligning working hours with US Pacific Time, frequently matching the 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT business schedule.

Nice to have:

• Mobile development experience in Android or iOS, including mobile test automation with Espresso, XCUITest, Appium, or Maestro.

• Experience with TypeScript, Node.js, and React.

• Experience with Rust or another statically typed programming language.

• Evidence of driving CI/CD improvements across an entire team or organization.

• Experience with production canaries and progressive delivery, using error rates, latency, business metrics, feature flags, or automated rollback to manage releases safely.

• Knowledge of test data and environment management, including repeatable processes for establishing realistic and reliable test conditions.

• Familiarity with test-driven development (TDD).

• Experience with AWS and cloud-native services.

Benefits

• Annual compensation: USD $70,000–$95,000, depending on experience, skills, and professional background.

• Fully remote work arrangement, open to candidates based in Brazil and other eligible locations in Latin America or Canada.

• Flexible paid time off (PTO).

• Laptop and work-from-home setup stipend.

• Monthly technology stipends to support internet access and AI tooling.

• Opportunity to work with AI-driven software development practices and contribute to next-generation quality engineering systems.

• Collaborative, international engineering environment that values diverse perspectives and continuous improvement.
