When faced with any task, their first reaction is to find an engineering solution. Married to this is a deep knowledge of quality, understanding the test coverage requirements and going beyond them. SDET’s are held to the engineering standards of the developers and simultaneously the quality standards of dedicated QA staff

Software Development Engineers in Test (SDET) for our eCommerce Channels will help us increase automation coverage and improve our existing automation frameworks.

• The ability to write and understand code - preferably in Java and JavaScript for the  test automation framework

• Experience with software development tools (IDE, debugger, git, JIRA, Jenkins, etc)

• Professional-level programming skills (regex processing, class design, Map data structure, etc.), particularly in Java and/or JavaScript

• Novice-level shell scripting skills (commands like grep, cut, sed, sort, wget, etc.)

• Knowledge of  RestAssured, Selenium

• Familiarity with Behavior Driven Development approach and Gherkin language

• Familiarity with JSON objects, SQL queries, data structures, log file analysis, etc.

• Familiarity with Swagger and Open API Specifications

Desired Additional Skills

• Knowledge of building mocks with WireMock

Other Candidate Requirements

• The passion to build tools that will enable the engineering team to write tests more easily

• The trait of constantly looking for better solutions to bring down automation flakiness and increase automation reliability, thinking ahead and building for future changes in an ever-changing mobile ecosystem

• Desire to automate everything and reduce the time required to manually test our products

• The willingness to work with other teams such as engineering, manual QA, product and release teams

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Science or other engineering discipline, or equivalent work experience.
