About the Role
As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test, you will design scalable quality solutions for critical workplace applications and help modernize how teams build, validate, and release reliable technology. You will use Quality Assurance, Java, REST APIs, DevOps, SQL, Cloud Services Management, Generative AI, and Communication to build quality into delivery from the start. Your work will help teams detect risk earlier, improve automation coverage, strengthen platform stability and resilience, and deliver faster, safer change. You will serve as a hands-on quality engineering partner for one or more Scrum teams, collaborating with engineers, architects, product owners, and business partners. This is an opportunity to influence technical decisions, raise engineering standards, and help shape a quality culture where people learn, experiment responsibly, and succeed together.
