Job Title – SDET (Testing & Automation Engineer)

Location - Shelton, CT

 Note - This is a W-2 position, and we welcome candidates requiring H-1B transfer sponsorship to apply. No third-party vendors.

 Requirement 

 This is a senior, hands-on SDET role focused on building reusable automation frameworks and testing tools for application and QA teams across the organization. The engineer may also support direct testing for high-priority applications.

Key responsibilities include:

· Designing automation frameworks for UI, API, backend, and data testing

· Supporting large-scale, parallel test execution

· Partnering with embedded QA and product teams

· Applying AI-assisted and agentic testing capabilities

Core Tools

 Key Experience Required

 The ideal candidate has:

· Built a test-automation framework from the ground up

· Created reusable frameworks used by multiple teams

· Supported UI, API, backend, and data testing

· Designed cloud-based test infrastructure

· Scaled automation to thousands of tests running in parallel

· Managed orchestration, runners, test data, environments, reporting, and flaky-test reduction

· Integrated automation into CI/CD

Candidates must also understand traditional QA practices, including functional testing, test-case design, regression testing, defect tracking, and acceptance criteria.

Environment

· Azure is the primary cloud

· AWS supports some guest-facing applications

· Experience with both is preferred

AI Expectations

The role will use AI for:

· Test-case and automation-code generation

· Self-healing tests

· Failure analysis

· Test prioritization

· Agent-based test planning, execution, and analysis

· Reviewing and validating AI-generated output
