The successful candidate will be responsible for generating, executing, debugging, and maintaining automated tests across critical workflows. This role requires a strong focus on test suite ownership, reliability improvement, and providing clear quality evidence to support engineering decisions. The SDET will also be involved in working with and enhancing OpenCode-based skills and frameworks, as well as applying terminal/TUI agentic tools to real test engineering scenarios. A minimum of 3 years of SDET experience is essential, with a proven track record in automated testing across various layers, including UI, API, contract, integration, and regression. Applicants for the SDET position at the company should possess a strong background in Playwright and TypeScript, with experience in fixtures, traces, parallel execution, and CI artifact analysis.

CI/CD integration experience and a solid foundation in API testing fundamentals are also required. The ideal candidate will have a strong debugging discipline, with the ability to investigate and resolve test failures, flaky behavior, and application defects. Exposure to performance, load, or chaos engineering, as well as open-source contributions to test or agentic tooling, is a plus.
