Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Staff Software Development Engineer in Test (SSDET) is responsible for building and scaling test frameworks and automation systems that ensure the reliability, accuracy, and performance of complex business critical workflows. This role focuses on validating end-to-end systems that process large volumes of data across multi-step pipelines, ensuring outputs are correct, consistent, and auditable. You will define testing strategies, automation patterns, and quality standards that enable systems to operate reliably at scale.

Core Areas of Responsibility

• Define the overall testing strategy for complex, multi-step workflows across distributed systems.
• Design and build scalable automation frameworks for validating end-to-end system behavior and data integrity.
• Establish patterns for validating data transformations, system integrations, and workflow correctness at scale.
• Define approaches for testing failure modes, retries, and resiliency across distributed workflows.
• Lead the implementation of data validation, lineage verification, and traceability mechanisms.
• Define quality standards and integrate automated validation into CI/CD pipelines.
• Drive improvements in test coverage, system reliability, and defect detection across teams.
• Influence engineering design to ensure systems are testable, observable, and resilient by design.
