We are looking for this position as a self-motivated contributor working closely with software development teams. 

Skills & Experiences:

• An SDET is a senior-level specialist with an advanced set of skills in both development and testing processes.
• As the SDET role presupposes a lot of testing, a solid expertise in following Development skills is required in Kafka, .NET, C#, Postgres and Angular
• A good understanding of Distributed Architecture is a must.
• A strong development mindset but not for building software, but with mindset to break the software and identify defects / issues.
• Experience working with Azure DevOps platform, Azure CI/CD Pipelines development, Azure Test plans, Azure DevOps deployments.
• Hands-on experience with multiple test automation tools and frameworks. A software development engineer in test is the one that must use test automation tools and frameworks for improving test case creation, simplifying the debugging process.
• Experience in integrating various frameworks and tools in the software development workflow, as it will help the Quality Assurance engineer to focus on other crucial tasks and duties like UX testing, end-user usability testing, etc.
• Knowledge of multiple software testing methodologies and tools. The SDET must be proficient in testing methodologies such as unit, integration, system, performance tests, and others and should have a strong DevOps Concept.
• Experience working with testing tools, such as Selenium Web Driver, Katalon, Watir, and others. However, the exact tech stack depends on a particular product. An SDET also takes the lead role in choosing tools that are to be used.
• Organizational and time-management skills:  Professionals like an SDET can often work on several projects at once.

• Communication skills: Day-to-day responsibilities of an SDET are not limited to development and testing-related tasks.
• Being a senior-level specialist, one also must participate in frequent stakeholder meetings, and closely collaborate with the development team, etc. Therefore, communication skills are not less crucial than technical expertise.

Responsibilities:

• A software development engineer in tests is responsible for building automation frameworks for tests and other test-related development processes, such as continuous delivery pipelines.
• This also may include (but is not limited to) writing and executing automated test scripts, analysis of test results, and so on.
• Daily, an SDET works closely with software developers and quality assurance (QA) teams to timely identify and resolve software defects.
• Creating and developing automated testing frameworks
• In testing, as a part of a software development life cycle (SDLC), an automation framework is a set of process steps, tools, and guidelines used to create a shared process of automation and build further test cases.
• The SDET’s role is to set up, maintain, and perform them on multiple application platforms like mobile, desktop, and web to build acceptance tests and test scenarios.
• This involves writing code that can simulate user actions and interactions with the software, as well as verifying the results of those actions.
• Designing and implementing test cases
• Creating a set of test scenarios and test cases used to verify that the software application (or other type of product) is properly functioning. This may concern multiple purposes, like creating test cases for new features, for regression or performance testing.
• We have an SDET who works on the development of a new social media platform and can design test cases for a new feature that’ll allow users to upload and share videos.
• The software development engineer in test role here would be to create test cases that verify whether the video is uploading correctly, whether it can be played back on different devices, etc.
• Developing CI/CD pipelines - Continuous integration and continuous delivery/deployment (CI/CD) is a software development practice that involves integrating code changes in the software codebase and deploying them to production. The main goal of CI/CD is to make the software development process more efficient, reliable, and scalable.
• The SDET’s role in the development of CI/CD pipelines is to create execution pipelines and optimize testing strategies to provide good test coverage. If you don’t have a DevOps engineer on board, an SDET can take charge of designing CI/CD workflow.
• Ability to partner with the DevOps Team to create CI / CD pipelines for continuous integration, Testing and Deployment.
