Staff Software Engineer

About the role

Ensuring we deliver high quality, trustable products is table stakes. Every regression you catch, every manual test you automate away, every closed loop you implement to flag and fix issues has material impact on Engineering’s ability to build awesome products fast. As the Staff Test Automation Engineer, you will work within a complex ecosystem system (multi-stage release pipelines, Cloud and Robot environments, etc..) and up and down the entire stack where architectural decisions have concrete, measurable consequences and correctness matters. This is how Lattice gets to customers safely, and how operators trust the platform in the field - and how every SWP team ships without breaking the teams next to them. This role, and this team is what makes that possible at scale.
