Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET)

Accountabilities • Collaborate with software development and quality assurance teams to understand product requirements and translate them into comprehensive test plans.

• Design, develop, and execute automated API and service-level tests for .NET backend services, including contract testing and mocking downstream dependencies.

• Validate end-to-end workflows across application layers, ensuring that user interface actions trigger the correct backend processes, data is accurately stored in SQL Server, and results are correctly displayed.

• Test asynchronous, event-driven, and batch processes on AWS, including Lambda, SQS/SNS, and scheduled jobs, with particular attention to retries, failure handling, and idempotency.

• Develop and maintain automated and manual test cases for SaaS web applications using modern JavaScript-based automation tools.

• Build, maintain, and continuously improve the test automation framework, defining standards and best practices across the engineering team.

• Create and maintain test data strategies using synthetic data, ensuring protected health information (PHI) is only used within approved environments.

• Use SQL queries to validate data integrity, transformations, and application state changes in SQL Server.

• Analyze application logs and monitoring data, including AWS CloudWatch, to diagnose failures and verify backend behavior.

• Conduct API and backend performance, load, and stress testing using tools such as k6, JMeter, or NBomber, establishing baselines and identifying regressions.

• Integrate automated testing into continuous integration and continuous delivery workflows.

• Own the test automation strategy and roadmap, determining testing priorities and identifying opportunities to improve coverage and efficiency.

• Apply AI-assisted failure analysis to identify root causes such as flaky network calls, timing issues, and data-state problems, reducing manual troubleshooting.

• Leverage AI-driven test case generation and coverage analysis to identify edge cases, uncover untested code paths, and strengthen testing of regulatory and compliance workflows.

• Partner with product and engineering leadership to identify testing gaps and compliance risks, particularly those involving HIPAA and PHI handling.

• Mentor junior automation engineers, conduct code reviews, and lead cross-functional initiatives that improve testing velocity and shorten release cycles.

• Stay current with testing technologies and methodologies, recommending improvements to tools, processes, and engineering practices.
