Senior Software Development Engineer in Test

About the role

We're looking for a Senior SDET to join our Member Experience engineering team and own the quality engineering foundation for the products our members interact with every day.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks across our member-facing applications (web and mobile), covering UI, API, and integration layers
• Develop and own a comprehensive regression suite that provides confidence for every release across our multi-state health insurance platform
• Embed with product engineering teams to shift quality left—writing testable acceptance criteria, designing test strategies during sprint planning, and catching defects early in the development cycle
• Build and maintain CI/CD-integrated test pipelines that provide fast, reliable feedback on every pull request and deployment
• Pioneer AI-powered quality engineering: explore and implement LLM-assisted test generation, intelligent test maintenance, and autonomous QA agents that can validate complex claims, benefits, and member workflows
• Investigate and triage production issues, perform root cause analysis, and build targeted regression tests to prevent recurrence
• Define quality metrics and reporting that give engineering leadership visibility into test coverage, defect trends, and release readiness
• Champion a quality-first culture across the Member Experience engineering organization—mentoring and showcasing testability best practices to developers

Requirements

Qualifications

• Significant hands-on experience as an SDET, Test Automation Engineer, or Quality Engineer in a software product environment
• Deep expertise building test automation frameworks from scratch (not just writing scripts in existing frameworks)—you've made architectural decisions about tooling, patterns, and infrastructure
• Strong programming skills in Java, Python, TypeScript, or similar languages; you write production-quality code
• Experience testing modern web applications built on frameworks like React/Next.js/React Native/Flutter and backend services on Spring Boot or similar JVM-based stacks
• Hands-on experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar)
• Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred): understanding of how to test applications running on Lambda, Step Functions, API Gateway, DynamoDB, and related services
• Strong debugging and root cause analysis skills—you can read application code, trace through distributed systems, and pinpoint where things break
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence engineering teams on quality practices as a peer, not a gatekeeper
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent practical experience
