Software Development Engineer in Test

Summary

Build and maintain a scalable TypeScript-based test automation framework for a healthcare client, focusing on API, integration, and contract testing while improving CI/CD quality gates and reducing flakiness.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) who will join a long-term project for our client, a leading healthcare organization.

This role is part of a broader transformation from traditional QA towards an automation-first engineering culture. Today, the testing landscape includes flaky regression suites and a large amount of manual testing. Your mission will be to help build a scalable quality engineering practice based on robust automation, modern tooling, and strong software engineering principles.

This is not a role for someone who only writes UI tests. We are looking for an engineer who treats test automation as a software product and wants to influence architecture, CI/CD processes, testability, and engineering standards across the organization.

What you will do:

  • Design, build, and maintain a scalable test automation framework in TypeScript

  • Create framework architecture including fixtures, test isolation, reusable components, and parallel execution strategies

  • Improve CI/CD quality gates, trigger strategies, artifact management, and developer feedback loops

  • Reduce test flakiness through systematic analysis, tooling, and framework improvements

  • Design and implement API, integration, and contract testing solutions

  • Collaborate with developers to improve application testability and contribute directly to product code when needed

  • Define and drive technical test strategy across E2E, API, and service-layer testing

  • Use AI engineering tools such as Claude, Copilot, and similar solutions to accelerate delivery and quality analysis

  • Enable engineering teams to own quality through standards, patterns, and reusable libraries

  • Generate audit-ready QMS documentation including traceability matrices, test plans, and test reports

What we are looking for:

  • Commercial experience as a Senior SDET, Senior QA Automation Engineer, or similar role

  • Strong software engineering fundamentals and ability to write production-grade code

  • Strong TypeScript skills or comparable experience with a modern programming language

  • Experience building and maintaining automation frameworks from scratch

  • Hands-on experience with Playwright or equivalent modern automation frameworks

  • Strong API and integration testing experience

  • Experience with REST and contract testing

  • CI/CD engineering experience including quality gates, artifact management, and pipeline reliability

  • Daily usage of AI engineering tools such as Claude, Copilot, or Cursor

  • Ability to contribute directly to the application codebase

  • Strong spoken and written English

Nice to have:

  • Experience within regulated environments such as medical devices, IVD, healthcare, or pharma

  • Knowledge of risk-based exploratory testing approaches

  • Performance and load testing experience (k6, JMeter, Gatling)

  • Experience with Azure, AWS, containers, or Infrastructure as Code

  • Clinical laboratory or IVD domain knowledge

  • Experience with Allure TestOps, Xray, or Zephyr

Perks and benefits (our offer):

  • Comprehensive benefits - enjoy Udemy for Business, private medical care, Multisport card, veterinary package, language lessons, and shopping vouchers.

  • Career growth - access opportunities for professional development and learning, including perks related to our official partnerships with global IT giants: Microsoft, AWS, Snowflake, Salesforce & more.

  • Global collaboration - work with a diverse, international team.

  • Innovative environment - be part of a forward-thinking and growth-oriented workplace.

  • Engaging community – Work with passionate professionals and participate in team-building events, hackathons, and CSR initiatives to make an impact beyond work.

  • Team-building events including our company tradition (annual company event in Mazury).

  • A pleasant surprise to start your journey with us in the form of a welcome pack.
