About the Opportunity

Comrise is looking for a self-driven, senior Software Developer in Test (SDET) to help build scalable automation frameworks from scratch and elevate testing infrastructure for mission-critical web, cloud, backend, and mobile applications.

If you are passionate about building robust regression suites, leveraging cutting-edge AI testing tools, and ensuring the absolute reliability of safety-critical technologies, this is your opportunity to drive end-to-end testing strategy in a high-impact environment.

What You Will Do

  • Framework Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable automation testing frameworks from the ground up for cloud, backend, and mobile applications.
  • End-to-End Automation: Create automated tests covering APIs, integration, subsystem, and edge-case scenarios to minimize repetitive manual testing.
  • AI-Driven Testing: Implement AI-powered tools and workflows to accelerate test execution, boost coverage, and optimize engineering productivity.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Partner with QA engineers and software development teams to refine validation workflows and drive the transition from manual strategy to robust automation.
  • Quality & Performance: Develop regression suites, validate high-stress system scenarios, and enhance automated tooling usability for engineering teams.

What We Are Looking For

  • Experience: 5+ years of hands-on experience as an SDET with a proven track record of architecting cloud and backend automation frameworks from scratch.
  • Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related technical field.
  • Technical Stack: Strong proficiency in PythonKotlin, and modern CI/CD & version control tools like Git and Buildkite.
  • Cloud & API Testing: Hands-on experience building functional and performance automation for backend cloud environments and mobile apps.
  • Bonus Skills: Hands-on experience with Playwright automation and implementing AI tools within the testing domain.

Position Details & Work Environment

  • Work Setting: 100% On-site in Foster City, CA (5 days/week in office).
  • Facility Requirements: Ability to complete background checks and facility compliance requirements.
  • Interview Process: 30-minute Manager Zoom $\rightarrow$ 1.5-hour Panel Interview (includes an on-site portion).
