About the role
Blink Health is a healthcare technology company focused on making prescriptions accessible and affordable. The Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) role involves designing and implementing robust testing strategies and automation solutions for complex, cross-team product features.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement end-to-end automation frameworks and testing strategies for complex, cross-team features.
- Own the automation roadmap for one or more modules, defining goals, execution plans, and success metrics.
- Anticipate risks, identify testability gaps, and drive continuous improvements in quality and efficiency.
- Build and maintain functional, performance, resiliency, and security automation tools integrated into CI/CD pipelines.
- Collaborate across engineering, product, platform, and QA teams to ensure comprehensive coverage and reliable releases.
- Leverage AI-assisted automation tooling to accelerate test creation, maintenance, debugging, root-cause analysis, and release validation.
- Drive innovation in autonomous quality engineering systems, including AI-assisted CI/CD validation, failure triaging, and predictive quality analysis.
- Champion modern quality engineering practices including observability-driven testing, production validation, synthetic monitoring, and intelligent automation standards.
- Provide technical mentorship to SDETs and engineers, elevating automation design, AI-assisted engineering practices, and code quality across teams.
Requirements
- At least 5+ years of experience in SDET contributions, automation engineering, and quality tooling.
- Passion for delivering high-quality, reliable products through automation and intelligent testing strategies for both frontend and backend systems.
- Advanced proficiency in testing methodologies, automation frameworks, debugging techniques, and distributed system validation.
- Experience in building and maintaining test infrastructure across multiple platforms and services.
- Strong command over algorithms, data structures, databases, and scripting languages (SQL, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or Java).
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines, performance engineering tools, observability platforms, and monitoring systems.
- Deep expertise in API and backend testing, ideally with experience in AWS and distributed systems such as Kafka, Kinesis, or event-driven architectures.
- Hands-on experience setting up performance/load/stress testing infrastructure at scale.
- Practical experience using AI-assisted development and automation tools to improve test coverage, productivity, and release confidence.
- Understanding of modern AI-first QA concepts including intelligent test generation, self-healing automation, autonomous validation workflows, and agentic QA systems.
- Comfortable evaluating and integrating emerging AI tooling into engineering and quality workflows.
- Systems thinking and ability to identify opportunities where AI can improve reliability, observability, and engineering efficiency.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Proven track record of successful automation projects and contributions to software development processes.
- Experience with cloud-native QA automation architecture and tool implementation.
- Familiarity with observability and monitoring tools for debugging in production.
- Experience with AI-powered testing platforms, autonomous QA agents, or LLM-assisted engineering workflows.
- Exposure to AI-assisted CI/CD validation, synthetic monitoring, chaos engineering, or intelligent release governance systems.
- Experience building scalable quality platforms for microservices and workflow orchestration systems.
Skills
- Strong understanding of software development lifecycle and agile methodologies.
- Proficiency in automated testing tools and frameworks (Selenium, JUnit, etc.).
- Experience with distributed systems and cloud-native technologies.
