Associate Software Development Engineer in Test

ReliaQuest’s Quality Engineering team is evolving quality from a test-execution function into a platform capability focused on automation, reliability, and production safety. As an Associate Software Development Engineer in Test, you will help build automated testing and continuous integration capabilities across backend services, web applications, and mobile platforms.

This is a code-first, automation-focused engineering role—not a manual testing or documentation-only position. You will gain hands-on experience with production-level systems, test automation, CI/CD, failure analysis, and AI-assisted engineering practices. Training, pairing, and guidance will be provided, with attitude and aptitude valued over previous job titles.

Build and maintain automated API smoke and regression tests for backend services.

Contribute to UI automation using Playwright and, based on interest and business needs, mobile automation.

Improve test reliability, test data setup, and environment stability.

Develop and maintain automated tests that run within GitLab CI pipelines.

Investigate flaky or failing pipelines and, with guidance, determine whether failures are caused by product defects, test code, or environmental issues.

Analyze logs, metrics, and test reports to identify and troubleshoot failures across services and environments.

Create clear, actionable bug reports that include reproduction steps and relevant technical details.

Collaborate with Software Engineering, SRE, and DevOps teams to resolve quality and reliability issues.

Contribute to test standards, automation frameworks, pre-commit hooks, engineering helpers, and other quality tooling.

Help shape how quality is consistently measured and enforced across services.

Use Claude and other AI-assisted engineering tools to accelerate test discovery, automation design, code review, failure triage, and technical documentation.
