This is a role within Chamberlain Group's Engineering team. The SDET Level 3 is a highly skilled senior-level engineer responsible for delivering robust test automation solutions across web, API, and mobile platforms. With a strong foundation in modern QA engineering practices, this role focuses on developing scalable automation frameworks, supporting CI/CD processes, and ensuring high-quality software releases in fast-paced Agile environments. The SDET Level 3 collaborates closely with cross-functional teams-including developers, product owners, and DevOps engineers-to ensure testability and quality are built into the product from the start. While not formally a people manager, the individual is expected to guide and mentor junior engineers, influence team-level quality strategy, and take ownership of critical testing initiatives. The ideal candidate has a strong grasp of software development principles, BDD practices, and automation architecture, and is passionate about improving quality through code.

Job Responsiblities:

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable test automation frameworks for web, mobile, and API testing (Playwright/WebDriverIO/Appium).
• Lead automation development for user stories and features, ensuring functional, regression, and integration coverage.
• Collaborate with developers, product managers, and QE peers to define acceptance criteria, build test strategies, and ensure complete test coverage.
• Develop BDD-style test cases using tools such as Cucumber or SpecFlow and ensure traceability from requirements to test coverage.
• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and actively troubleshoot failures.
• Validate RESTful APIs using Postman, Swagger, or similar tools; build API automation frameworks with Karate, or other libraries.
• Conduct exploratory, cross-browser, and cross-platform testing and ensure consistent user experiences on Android/iOS web and native apps.
• Participate in code/test reviews, sprint planning, retrospectives, and Agile ceremonies to advocate for quality and testability.
• Summarize test results, raise high-quality defect reports, and contribute to Go/No-Go release decisions
• Assist in incorporating AI-based tools to accelerate test execution or flakiness detection (optional but preferred).
• Provide mentorship to junior quality engineers and help promote a quality-first mindset across the team.
• Comply with health and safety guidelines and rules; managers should also ensure compliance across their teams.
• Protect Chamberlain Group's reputation by keeping information confidential.
• Maintain professional and technical knowledge by attending educational workshops, reading professional publications, establishing personal networks, and participating in professional societies.
• Contribute to the team effort by accomplishing related results and participating on projects as needed.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or related field
• 5-8 years of hands-on experience in software quality engineering, with a minimum of 3 years focused on automation.
• Solid experience in JavaScript/TypeScript with frameworks such as Playwright, WebDriverIO, or Cypress.
• Hands-on experience testing RESTful APIs and working with API automation tools such as Karate, Restassured using java or similar.
• Proven experience working in Agile development environments and contributing to sprint-based delivery.
• Experience working with cloud-based platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and microservice architectures.
• Experience in integrating test automation into CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with test management (TestRail, QMetry), bug tracking (JIRA), and version control systems (Git).

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and test automation frameworks.
• Solid understanding of QE methodologies, software development lifecycles, and Agile practices.
• Strong experience in BDD/TDD practices and writing executable test specifications.
• Comfortable testing across web, mobile, and API layers.
• Strong debugging and analytical skills to identify root causes of issues in complex systems.
• Familiarity with mobile app testing using real devices/emulators on Android and iOS.
• Good interpersonal and written communication skills to collaborate with distributed teams.
• Ability to work independently and take initiative in solving problems and improving processes.

Preferred Job Requirements:

• Quality Assurance certifications (ISTQB or similar).
• Cloud platform certifications (AWS, Azure).
• Exposure to AI-based testing accelerators (e.g., model-based testing, smart selectors).
• Experience in testing IoT or embedded systems (preferred but not mandatory).
• Experience with non-relational databases like Couchbase or Neo4J.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities:

• Basic understanding of performance, accessibility, or security testing.
