Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) - Python
Certain Advantage are recruiting on behalf of our global energy client for an SDET with Python expertise.
Our client's platform delivers business-critical infrastructure and software where reliability, performance, and security are paramount.
To ensure comprehensive software quality, we're recruiting for a Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to address broader testing needs, including integration and end-to-end (E2E) testing.
The purpose of hiring the SDET is to bring expertise in test automation and quality assurance best practices, enabling the development of robust and maintainable automated test suites that cover all layers of the testing pyramid. This comprehensive approach helps identify issues that unit tests alone cannot detect, ensuring the system functions correctly as a whole and meets user expectations.
This is an important role to help the team achieve higher software quality and reliability, which will ultimately deliver better products to users.
Role
The SDET is a hybrid role combining the skills of a software developer (in this case Python) and a tester. As the SDET you are responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining automated test frameworks and test cases. You will work closely with developers to ensure quality is built into the software from the ground up.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identifying and reporting defects early in the development cycle.
- Ensuring features are written in a testable fashion by collaborating with developers to implement best practices.
- Developing and maintaining automated test scripts, which are essential for model validation.
We're seeking experienced test professionals with a demonstrable background in developing test automation solutions with Python, as well as experience in integration and end-to-end testing for business critical systems.
Prior experience in test automation for trading systems is highly desirable.
