About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Software Engineer to enhance the Quality Engineering foundation across our SDK teams. This role focuses on building confidence in the quality, reliability, and delivery of SDK solutions across multiple platforms by working on automation, CI/CD, tooling, test strategy, diagnostics, reporting, and engineering practices.

Responsibilities

• Building and improving CI/CD pipelines that support SDK build, test, validation, and release workflows.
• Developing Python-based automation and tooling for test orchestration, system validation, diagnostics, reporting, and quality visibility.
• Creating, maintaining, and improving automated tests across unit, integration, system, and end-to-end levels.
• Applying a testing mindset to engineering problems, including identifying risks, questioning assumptions, improving observability, and designing solutions that are easier to validate and maintain.
• Helping teams bake quality into solutions early by influencing design, implementation, testability, diagnostics, and release confidence.
• Investigating issues across build, test, deployment, and execution environments, then improving the workflows that allow teams to detect, diagnose, and prevent similar issues.
• Supporting Linux and Windows development environments, including cross-platform scripting, automation, debugging, and build/test workflows.
• Using test frameworks, quality metrics, reporting, and engineering data to improve quality visibility and support practical test strategy.
• Working with SDK teams to clarify quality risks, align on shared initiatives, and turn broad goals into actionable engineering work.
• Identifying bottlenecks, fragile processes, gaps in automation, weak feedback loops, or weaknesses in test coverage, then driving pragmatic improvements with the teams involved.
• Using AI-assisted and agentic engineering technologies responsibly to improve coding, debugging, test generation, refactoring, documentation, triage, and team efficiency.
• Building domain knowledge across SDK areas through planned rotations or focused assignments, contributing useful improvements in new technical contexts.
• Balancing immediate delivery needs with longer-term improvements to SDK quality engineering practices, CI/CD reliability, developer feedback, and test effectiveness.
• Coordinating with teams across London, Bristol, and Dublin, including occasional planned travel where useful.
• Mentoring peers, sharing good engineering practices, and helping influence quality engineering approaches across teams.

Requirements

• Strong practical Python skills for engineering automation, tooling, diagnostics, test orchestration, or quality-focused workflows.
• Experience building, maintaining, or improving CI/CD, build, test, release, or deployment automation, using tools such as Jenkins/Groovy or equivalent systems.
• Experience developing, maintaining, or improving automated tests, test frameworks, test infrastructure, or quality-focused tooling.
• A strong testing mindset, including the ability to identify risk, understand failure modes, question assumptions, and design practical approaches to build confidence in complex systems.
• Experience applying quality engineering practices beyond test execution, such as improving testability, observability, diagnostics, developer feedback, reporting, and release confidence.
• Ability to diagnose and resolve issues across complex build, test, CI, deployment, or execution environments.
• Comfortable working across Linux and Windows development environments.
• Familiarity with test frameworks such as pytest, GTest, or similar, and an understanding of quality metrics, test reporting, or practical test strategy.
• Experience using AI-assisted coding tools, LLMs, or agentic technologies to improve engineering productivity, with an understanding of how to review, validate, and apply generated output safely.
• Ability to work with ambiguity: asking good questions, identifying risks, breaking broad problems into practical steps, and making sound engineering decisions when every detail isn’t defined upfront.
• Pragmatic engineering judgement, including knowing when to build a robust long-term solution and when to deliver a focused improvement that unblocks progress.
• Clear communication and collaborative problem-solving, especially when working across distributed teams, resolving unclear ownership, and advocating for quality engineering concerns.
• A willingness to take responsibility for quality engineering improvements, including proposing practical options, implementing changes, and following up with the teams involved.
• Practical engineering work that improves quality, confidence, reliability, or delivery.
• Ability to operate at a senior level, work well with others, and help raise the quality engineering bar across SDK teams.
• Comfortable thinking beyond individual tests or pipelines.
• Ability to help teams understand risk, build better feedback loops, improve testability, make delivery workflows more reliable, and use technology, including agentic AI, to improve how engineering teams work.
