Job description

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Kforce's client, a technology-driven organization in Lansing, MI, is seeking a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to help modernize and scale its test automation and quality engineering practices. The team operates in an Agile environment with a strong focus on CI/CD, automation-first testing, and shared ownership of quality across feature teams. This role requires a candidate who can think critically, understand the -why- behind testing strategies, and clearly communicate technical decisions while contributing to both automation and hands-on validation efforts.
Key Responsibilities:
* Partner with Agile feature teams to review user stories, define acceptance criteria, and promote a test-first approach during refinement and design sessions
* Design, build, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks for UI and API testing
* Develop automated test suites using modern tools such as Playwright and TypeScript (preferred)
* Contribute to the migration from legacy automation frameworks (e.g., Selenium with Java, Postman/Newman) to modern unified frameworks aligned with CI/CD pipelines
* Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to enable fast and reliable feedback loops
* Develop and maintain API test coverage for REST and SOAP services, including end-to-end workflow validation
* Perform exploratory and manual testing for complex or non-automated features, ensuring thorough functional validation
* Write and maintain SQL queries for data validation and test data setup
* Participate in code reviews and contribute to test architecture and framework design decisions
* Ensure traceability between requirements, test cases, and defects while supporting compliance and audit requirements (e.g., security and regulatory standards)
* Support continuous improvement of QA practices and act as a quality engineering advocate across teams
* Utilize test management and reporting tools to track execution, coverage, and quality metrics
REQUIREMENTS:
* Strong experience in software testing and test automation within Agile environments
* Hands-on experience with Playwright (TypeScript preferred) or similar frameworks (e.g., Cypress)
* Experience building or maintaining UI and API automation frameworks
* Knowledge of REST and SOAP API testing
* Experience working with CI/CD pipelines and integrating automated tests into build/release workflows
* Strong SQL skills for data validation and test support activities
* Experience with test management tools (e.g., qTest, QMetry, TestRail, or similar)
* Experience working in environments transitioning from legacy automation tools (e.g., Selenium, Postman/Newman) is highly desirable
* Strong analytical thinking, communication skills, and ability to explain technical concepts clearly
* Ability to support both automated and manual testing efforts within Agile teams
