## About the role

You write the code that proves our software works. SDETs are developers first. You build the test-automation and feature test suites the rest of QA runs on, and you validate features in real time alongside the engineers building them, so bugs are caught before they become tickets Build and own automated tests and feature test suites (end-to-end, integration)

## What they're looking for

- Quality-First Mindset: Quality is the job, not a gate at the end of it. You value simplicity, reliability, and velocity in equal measure, treat every escaped defect as a process to fix, and would rather prevent a bug than file one
- Strong Software Engineering: 3+ years (or strong equivalent) writing production-quality code daily in Python, TypeScript/JavaScript, or similar
- Test Automation & Frameworks: Deep experience in automated test infrastructure (Playwright, pytest, Jest) and CI/CD pipelines
- Systems Thinking: Comfortable debugging networked/distributed systems
- Collaboration: You enjoy pairing with developers and Systems Engineers
- A quality-first developer, first and foremost. Someone who measures their work by what doesn't break in the field, and who wants to apply strong software skills to robotic quality. No robotics background required
