ABOUT THIS ROLEAs a Senior SDET II, you will be a critical technical leader within our Software Quality team, directly impacting the performance, scalability, and reliability of LVT's core software products. You will partner closely with engineering and product management to champion a shift-left quality philosophy, designing high-velocity automated testing frameworks that keep pace with our rapid deployment cycles. This role combines advanced software architecture with engineering strategy, allowing you to elevate our continuous integration ecosystem and eliminate systemic bottlenecks across our microservices.
This role is based out of our Headquarters in American Fork, Utah, with a primary focus on driving collaboration and engineering excellence on-site.
ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES- Architect, scale, and maintain highly reusable, distributed test automation frameworks for Web, Mobile, and API layers to reduce release cycle times.
- Design and optimize continuous testing pipelines within CI/CD workflows (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), ensuring rapid, reliable feedback loops for development teams.
- Lead performance, scalability, security, and chaos engineering testing efforts to guarantee the long-term resilience of LVT's platforms under heavy load.
- Partner with Product Managers and Software Engineers during early design phases to champion testability, define clear quality metrics, and mitigate risks early.
- Conduct rigorous code reviews for test automation scripts, enforcing high standards of maintainability, clean code patterns, and modern design principles.
- Diagnose complex, intermittent system failures across microservices architectures and build comprehensive observability dashboards to track platform health.
- Evaluate and introduce cutting-edge testing tooling, strategies, and AI-driven or self-healing testing practices to maximize overall engineering efficiency.
- Mentor and coach Mid-level and Senior SDET I engineers, fostering a strong culture of technical excellence, accountability, and continuous learning.
OUR IDEAL CANDIDATE- Seasoned Quality Engineer: 8+ years of deep software engineering experience with a dedicated, proven focus on automated testing, quality infrastructure, and systems thinking.
- Technical Leader: Track record of operating at a Senior or Lead level, successfully driving cross-functional quality initiatives across multiple autonomous development teams.
- Advanced Programmer: Mastery of modern programming languages-specifically Python or TypeScript/JavaScript-utilizing advanced OOP concepts, data structures, and clean coding practices.
- Automation Framework Expert: Expertise across industry-standard automation tools and frameworks (e.g., Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, Appium, RestAssured) with the ability to build from scratch.
- Cloud & DevOps Infrastructure Fluency: Hands-on experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and modern infrastructure-as-code practices.
- Distributed Systems Native: Strong proficiency in SQL/NoSQL databases, microservices testing paradigms, and debugging across complex, interdependent backend architectures.
- Problem Solver: A relentless drive to root out flaky tests, optimize automated test execution times, and solve deep, systemic technical bottlenecks.
- Influencer Without Authority: Exceptional communication and partnership skills, with a proven ability to align developers, product owners, and executives toward a quality-first engineering culture.
