Software Development Engineer in Test - Remote

About the Role

We are looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test to join our team remotely. In this role, you will design, build, and enhance the quality infrastructure of a complex, cloud-based investment management platform used by leading private equity and real estate firms. This position offers a unique opportunity to work in a hands-on engineering role focused on test automation, quality architecture, and tooling.

What You'll Do

• Collaborate with developers and product stakeholders to define test strategies, identify coverage gaps, and ensure quality is built into the development lifecycle from the start.
• Design, develop, and maintain robust automated test frameworks and scripts using industry-standard tools and practices to validate complex financial workflows, APIs, and user-facing features across the full stack.
• Integrate and maintain automated test suites within CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions) to ensure reliable, repeatable execution across all environments and deployment stages.
• Contribute to non-functional testing efforts including load, performance, and security validation to ensure the platform meets production-grade reliability and compliance standards.
• Conduct thorough code reviews of automated test scripts, enforcing quality standards, maintainability, and alignment with secure development practices.
• Analyze test results, diagnose root causes of failures, and produce detailed, actionable defect reports that accelerate resolution by development teams.
• Communicate regular updates on test automation progress, coverage gaps, risks, and quality metrics to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Pragmatically adopt new development tools and methodologies to enhance testing productivity, whether AI-assisted test generation, emerging testing frameworks, or evolving QA practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• 3+ years of experience designing and maintaining automated test frameworks and scripts for full stack web applications.
• Strong proficiency in at least one test automation language and framework (e.g., Ruby/RSpec, Python/pytest, or JavaScript/Playwright).
• Solid understanding of software testing methodologies, including unit, integration, end-to-end, and regression testing.
• Demonstrated experience using AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code, Devin, etc.) to accelerate feature delivery, including code generation, test writing, and codebase navigation.
• Experience integrating automated test suites into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions).
• Familiarity with test environment management, test data strategies, and mocking/stubbing techniques.
• Strong fundamentals in defect analysis, root cause diagnosis, and producing actionable defect reports.
• Experience working in an Agile team environment with shared quality ownership across development and QA.
• Comfortable working remotely with a distributed team.

Nice to Have

• Experience testing fintech, investment, or financial services platforms.
• Familiarity with Ruby on Rails applications and the associated testing ecosystem (RSpec, Capybara, FactoryBot).
• Understanding of Private Equity Fund Administration or Fund Accounting.
• Experience with performance and load testing tools.
• Familiarity with security testing practices and tools relevant to financial or regulated environments.
• Experience with cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) and containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Exposure to accessibility and cross-browser testing standards and tooling.
• Knowledge of API testing tools and practices (e.g., Postman, REST-assured).

What We Offer

• Work on mission-critical financial systems in the private equity industry.
• Be part of a collaborative and innovative team.
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision coverage.
• Opportunities for professional growth and development.
• Play a key role in our technology transformation journey.
