About the role

We are looking for a Senior SDET to strengthen quality across web and API layers using Java, REST Assured, and Playwright.

  • Create comprehensive API automation suites to ensure the integrity of microservices.
  • Implement and manage frontend automation scripts to ensure a top-tier user experience.
  • Mentor other engineers on testing best practices and foster a "quality-first" culture.

Must haves

  • 4+ years of experience as an SDET Engineer.
  • Strong programming skills in Java (a "developer-first" approach to QA).
  • Extensive experience using REST Assured for backend testing.
  • Proven hands-on experience with Playwright.
  • Deep understanding of the "shift-left" approach and integrating automation into CI/CD pipelines.
  • Ability to work independently and provide technical direction on quality initiatives.
  • Upper-intermediate English level.

Nice to haves

  • Previous experience in the Loyalty or Fintech sectors.
  • Experience with Performance or Load testing (e.g., JMeter or Gatling).
  • Familiarity with Cloud infrastructure and SQL for data validation within test scripts.
  • Experience working with Mocking frameworks.

Perks

  • Growth without limits: build your skills through mentorship, internal TechTalks, challenging projects, and a dedicated annual learning budget
  • Competitive compensation: get recognition that reflects your skills and impact, with regular performance and compensation reviews
  • Flexibility: work 100% remotely with flexible hours that support focus, autonomy, and a healthy work rhythm
  • Meaningful, modern projects: build impactful products using modern technologies alongside global teams and leading brands
  • Collaborative culture: join a supportive environment with zero micromanagement where ideas are welcomed and contributions are recognized
  • Well-being & support: access local well-being programs and people-focused support tailored to your location

FAQ

Have any questions?

What is the work format and schedule?

We are a remote-first company, so all our positions are remote. Schedules are flexible, but the main requirement is to have an overlap with your client’s schedule to ensure smooth collaboration. Specific details depend on the project and are discussed during the interview process.

What level of English is required?

We look for Upper-Intermediate (B2) proficiency or higher. Since you will be collaborating with international teams and global clients (including Fortune 500 companies), English is a part of your daily work.

Does AgileEngine provide work equipment?

It depends on your location. We provide equipment in Ukraine, Poland, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Portugal, Spain, and India. In the USA, equipment is usually provided by the client; otherwise, you will be expected to use your own setup.

What opportunities for professional growth do you offer?

We support continuous growth through personalized development paths tailored to each expert. Also, you can expect:

  • An annual learning and development budget
  • Internal workshops, tech talks, and mentorship programs
  • Opportunities to switch projects or grow into new roles over time

What does a typical team look like, and what tools do you use?

Teams vary by project, but you’ll usually work with a mix of experts across different fields, along with a delivery or project manager who supports collaboration and onboarding.

For day-to-day work, teams commonly use tools like Jira and Google Workspace, along with communication platforms such as Google Chat. Depending on the client, you may also work with Slack, Confluence, Notion, or similar tools.
