Remote Manual Testing Jobs in Irvine, CA (NOW HIRING)

Senior SDET, Automation Quality and Test Engineering

Position: Senior SDET

Location: Hybrid if local to Irvine, CA. 100% remote if you live more than 30 miles from the office.

Our client is one of the leading mortgage technology companies in the country, investing heavily in AI-driven automation across the full loan lifecycle. They are looking for a Senior SDET to build and own the automated test infrastructure that keeps a fast-moving, regulated platform safe as it scales.

Why Is This a Great Opportunity?

• Build test automation from the ground up for a high-impact fintech platform
• Work on genuinely complex systems including LOS integrations, AI-driven underwriting, broker portal workflows, and compliance-critical automation
• AI-first team where tooling and process are built around accelerating delivery
• Competitive salary, medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and PTO
• Hybrid flexibility if local to Irvine, or fully remote

  Responsibilities

• Design and own test automation strategy across API, integration, and end-to-end layers covering LOS and broker portal workflows
• Build test frameworks, fixtures, synthetic loan files, and environment seeding tools the development team actually uses
• Develop evaluation harnesses for AI and LLM features including golden datasets, eval suites, and regression detection for prompt and model changes
• Convert manual UAT scripts from Ops and Sales into automated coverage
• Define quality gates for pilot expansion and instrument production monitoring to catch issues early
• Verify compliance-critical behavior: disclosure timing, fee tolerances, audit trails, and data integrity across systems
• Integrate test suites into CI/CD pipelines and maintain ongoing regression coverage

  AI-Assisted Development, Required

• Daily use of AI coding tools (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, or equivalent) as a core part of your workflow, not occasional autocomplete
• Ability to decompose work into well-structured prompts and agentic tasks, then critically review, test, and harden AI-generated code before it ships
• Experience using AI agents to generate, maintain, and triage tests at scale
• Candidates who cannot provide a concrete recent example of AI-assisted work do not pass the phone screen

  Required Qualifications

• 6+ years in software engineering with at least 4 focused on test automation and SDET work
• Strong coding skills in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, or C#, with hands-on experience building API and E2E test frameworks (Playwright, Cypress, pytest, Postman) and integrating into CI/CD pipelines
• Experience testing complex multi-system integrations including mocking, contract testing, and test data management
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent experience

  Preferred Qualifications

• Mortgage or regulated fintech experience: LOS platforms, broker portals, AUS, or disclosure systems
• Experience evaluating LLM or ML systems in production including eval frameworks and non-deterministic output testing

Salary: $130,000 to $145,000 annually, depending on experience

Work Authorization: Must verify identity and eligibility to work in the U.S. without visa sponsorship.
