About the Role
Our client is scaling several modern digital platforms and is looking for a highly technical Software Engineer in Test (SDET) to strengthen automation, quality engineering and delivery across multiple product teams. This is not a traditional QA role — it is a hands‑on engineering position where you will design automated solutions, build test frameworks, work closely with developers, and contribute directly to the quality and stability of services used at scale. You will be expected to think like an engineer, work with clean, maintainable code, and provide technical input into testing strategy and architecture.
