This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps.
Our partner is looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) based in Brazil.
Responsibilities
Design, develop, and maintain robust test automation frameworks, either from scratch or by extending existing solutions, ensuring they remain scalable, reusable, and maintainable.
Define and uphold test quality standards and contribute to the overall testing strategy for one or more products or services.
Develop high-quality integration and end-to-end automated tests that meet production engineering standards, alongside reusable test utilities, mocks, and simulators.
Drive automated testing across contract, smoke, regression, and end-to-end scenarios, integrating frameworks effectively into CI/CD pipelines.
Own the structure, health, and relevance of test suites and regression packs, continuously improving coverage while keeping them lean and valuable.
Test front-end, back-end, API, and distributed microservice environments using modern tools and frameworks such as Playwright, Cypress, Postman, and RestAssured.
Plan and coordinate performance testing using tools such as K6 and JMeter.
Partner closely with engineers, product managers, delivery leads, and other cross-functional stakeholders to embed quality from the beginning of the SDLC.
Participate throughout the testing lifecycle, including exploratory and manual QA activities, issue investigation, change validation, and release sign-off.
Investigate defects and production issues, identify root causes, and ensure fixes are properly validated through automated testing.
Actively contribute to continuous improvement by challenging existing approaches and helping engineering teams adopt stronger quality practices.
Requirements
4+ years of professional experience in test automation, with strong hands-on expertise in building and maintaining automation frameworks and API testing solutions.
Strong proficiency in writing automated tests using TypeScript and solid experience designing and executing end-to-end testing strategies within Agile delivery environments.
Demonstrated ability to embed quality early in the SDLC through close collaboration with Product Managers, Engineers, Principal Engineers, Delivery Managers, and other stakeholders.
Experience working within Agile continuous delivery teams, including coordinating with cross-functional stakeholders to assess, prioritize, and resolve defects.
Strong understanding of software quality principles, automation optimization, and continuous improvement.
A critical and analytical mindset, with curiosity and rigor when investigating failures and uncovering root causes.
Strong collaboration and communication skills, including the confidence to constructively challenge technical and product decisions.
Adaptability and ownership, with the ability to manage changing priorities in fast-paced environments.
Strong attention to detail without losing sight of broader product, business, and user objectives.
A degree, diploma, or equivalent qualification in Computer Science, Information Technology, or a related discipline is desirable.
Certifications such as CSTAE, ASTQB ISTQB Advanced, or recognized automation testing certifications in technologies such as Cypress or Playwright are desirable.
Familiarity with pipeline and event-driven architectures, including technologies such as Kafka, AWS EventBridge, AWS Step Functions, queues, streams, or SnapLogic, is an advantage.
