Job Description
Software Development Engineer in Test II
Hybrid - Santa Clara, CA
  • This position requires candidates to be based in the Bay Area. Not considering relocation at this time.

About the Role
This role is part of a team driving automation-first quality across web, API, and AI-powered systems. As an SDET, you will help shape and execute testing strategies that ensure features are reliable, maintainable, and production-ready. You'll collaborate closely with Engineering and Product teams to integrate quality deeply into every stage of development, from design to release.
As a Software Engineer in Test, you will:
  • Lead and standardize test automation practices across teams and services.
  • Design, build, and maintain scalable automation frameworks using Playwright and SerenityJS.
  • Develop automated test suites in JavaScript/TypeScript for web, API, and workflow validation.
  • Design and maintain REST API automation using Postman or equivalent tools.
  • Integrate automation into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins and/or GitHub Actions.
  • Enforce mandatory quality gates, blocking releases on automation or sanity failures.
  • Monitor automation executions, analyze failures, and drive root-cause resolution.
  • Conduct automation code reviews to ensure consistency, reusability, and maintainability.
  • Collaborate during design and story elaboration to define acceptance criteria and risk coverage.
  • Mentor QA and engineering teams on automation frameworks, tooling, and best practices.
  • Contribute to automation metrics, reporting, and continuous improvement initiatives.

What You'll Work On
  • Automation frameworks for web, API, and workflow testing.
  • CI/CD integration for continuous quality enforcement.
  • Regression, integration, system, and end-to-end test suites.
  • Accessibility (A11y) testing aligned with WCAG principles.
  • AI-driven features and workflow validations.
  • Metrics, dashboards, and reporting to measure quality and automation effectiveness.

What We're Looking For
  • 3+ years of experience in QA Automation / SDET roles.
  • Strong hands-on experience with Playwright and SerenityJS (JavaScript/TypeScript).
  • Proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript for building reliable, maintainable automation.
  • Solid experience in REST API testing using Postman or similar tools.
  • Hands-on experience with CI/CD automation using Jenkins and/or GitHub Actions.
  • Familiarity with Cucumber BDD framework.
  • Strong working knowledge of Git (GitHub) and modern version control workflows.
  • Experience with Docker and Kubernetes-based environments.
  • Exposure to Desktop Automation testing.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to debug complex automation failures.
  • Excellent communication skills and ability to influence quality across teams.

Even Better If You Have
  • Experience using AI agents/tools for testing or day-to-day automation tasks.
  • Knowledge of visual regression testing, cross-browser testing, and performance validation.
  • Exposure to cloud-native, large-scale SaaS platforms.
  • Experience mentoring teams and driving adoption of quality standards across squads.

Why This Role Matters
You will be critical in building a culture of automation-first quality, ensuring that HackerRank delivers reliable, accessible, and high-quality experiences to millions of developers and top enterprises. Your work will prevent defects, enforce strong release gates, and contribute to scalable, maintainable systems that enable engineering teams to move fast without sacrificing quality.
Compensation
  • Base salary range: $110k -120k
  • This range does not include commissions, bonuses, stock options, or benefits.
  • Final offer may vary based on skills, experience, location, and other compensation components.
