We're growing our team in Poland and want to be upfront about how this role is structured. As we don't yet have a legal entity in Poland, we work with an Employer of Record (EOR) or umbrella company to onboard talent in the region. This means the role is offered on a fixed term basis via an international contractor agreement — and is fully remote.
Purpose of the job
We’re looking for a SDET who’s passionate about quality; not just as a phase, but as a core part of how great software gets built. In this role, you’ll help shape what “great” looks like for our engineering, including setting test standards, supporting engineers and making sure quality is everyone’s responsibility. This role requires strong software development skills, deep understanding of distributed systems, and the ability to influence quality across the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). You’ll be embedded in a collaborative environment where software is shipped fast, iteratively, and often. Your work will focus on making sure things don’t just work but work well together. You’ll bring clarity, structure and confidence to the way we test by balancing automation with human insight and keeping the end-user in mind. You would drive the automated testing efforts covering contract testing, smoke testing, regression testing, end-to-end testing ensuring that we deliver fast with full confidence. You’ll bring your considerable knowledge of test automation to help us build new products that are reliable, secure, performant, and resilient. If you’re curious, love asking the awkward questions, and want to support software engineers build and iterate quickly, you’ll thrive here.
