Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Pittsburgh, PA (onsite 4 days per week, remote 1 day)

Monday – Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm

Our client, a leading financial services company, is looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to join a team migrating mainframe code to Java Spring Boot and microservices with an Angular front end. This role is closer to full stack engineering than traditional QA: about 80% coding and 20% testing. You will automate existing manual test processes and write automation test cases from day one.

What You Will Do

• Write automated test cases in Java and TypeScript, starting on day one
• Convert existing manual test processes into automated ones
• Build end-to-end tests with Playwright and BDD scenarios with Cucumber
• Test Spring Boot microservices and the Angular front end as they are migrated from the mainframe
• Report test results with Serenity
• Work in two-week sprints alongside the development team

What You Bring

• 5+ years of experience in test automation or software development (5 to 7 years is the target, and there is no upper limit for a strong candidate)
• Hands-on programming skills in Java and TypeScript (any recent Java version is fine)
• Experience with Playwright and Cucumber
• A background as a Java developer who moved into test automation, or as a QA engineer who has also worked as a developer
• Financial services experience is not required

Nice to have

• Serenity (a working understanding is enough)
• Angular (any recent version)
• Spring Boot
• Microservices
