Requirements
  • 12+ years in test automation, quality engineering, and reliability engineering with a strong background in functional automation and integration testing for large-scale applications.
  • Strong experience mentoring engineers and working closely with developers to instill testing best practices and error-sensitive coding approaches.
  • Extensive experience building resilient automation frameworks, incorporating SRE practices into testing, and leveraging monitoring to enhance system reliability.
  • Advanced skills in Python, Ruby, Go, Java, or similar languages, with a focus on building maintainable, scalable testing tools.
  • Proven expertise in stack sampling, E2E testing, and deriving test coverage based on production usage data.
  • Mastery of CI/CD integration for automated testing, cloud platforms (AWS, GCP), and containerization (Kubernetes, Docker).
  • Expertise in implementing assertions and error-detection mechanisms throughout codebases to achieve high reliability and self-correcting systems.
Responsibilities
  • Architect and implement expansive functional automation frameworks to ensure comprehensive, reliable coverage across ID.me’s core services. Address critical gaps and elevate automation standards across teams.
  • Develop and refine E2E testing strategies using production stack sampling to map real-world usage patterns against test coverage, ensuring high-impact production paths are consistently validated.
  • Drive initiatives for error sensitivity, automated rollbacks, and zero-downtime failure detection by implementing assertions throughout the codebase, aligning with high reliability goals.
  • Design and build robust systems and testing infrastructure specifically to address and fill gaps in testing for complex and hard-to-test areas, ensuring thorough coverage in integration-heavy or externally dependent components.
  • Act as a testing strategist and consultant for development teams, guiding on best practices for testable code structure, early operational insights, and incorporating quality checks in the development cycle.
  • Lead efforts to organize and streamline the codebase, reducing complexity for testing and enabling efficient test coverage, particularly in services with extensive integrations.
  • Define and monitor critical reliability metrics (e.g., Time to Detect, Time to Remediate, and Time to Fix), aiming for instantaneous error detection and seamless automatic recovery in high-stakes scenarios.
