Hybrid Work Model

At Assent, we proudly embrace a remote-first work model, valuing the flexibility and autonomy it provides our team. We also acknowledge the intangible benefits of occasional in-person workdays. For team members situated within 50 kms/31 miles of our five global offices in Ottawa, Eldoret, Penang, Columbus, Pune and Amsterdam, you can expect to come into the office at least one day a week. Similarly, those near our co-working spaces in Nairobi and Toronto are encouraged to work onsite once a month.

Position Summary

We are looking for a quality-first Software Developer in Test (SDET) who brings a strong QA Analyst mindset to software delivery.

This role goes beyond writing automated tests. You will act as a bridge between Product and Engineering — deeply understanding what and why we are building before engineering how to validate it. You are analytical, user-focused, and risk-aware, using automation as a powerful enabler of quality — not the only tool in your toolbox.

If you enjoy asking the right questions, thinking critically about business impact, and building scalable test solutions that protect customer value, this role is for you.

What you will do

  • Own Quality Through Analysis
  • Collaborate early with Product, Development, and Data teams during discovery and refinement.
  • Review and challenge requirements and acceptance criteria to ensure they are testable, complete, and reflect real customer journeys.
  • Identify risks, edge cases, and coverage gaps before they become production issues.
  • Lead exploratory testing and business-flow simulations in complex or ambiguous areas.
  • Translate business requirements into meaningful test strategies and risk assessments.
  • Engineer Robust Automation
  • Design and implement automated tests across API, UI, performance, and end-to-end layers.
  • Develop automated coverage using tools such as C#, Playwright, NBomber, and JMeter.
  • Work closely with developers to strengthen test coverage in the upper layers of the test pyramid.
  • Contribute to CI/CD pipeline improvements and automation environment setup.
  • Maintain meaningful test metrics focused on escapes, performance, and coverage trends.
  • Drive Defect Prevention & Release Confidence
  • Perform triage and root cause analysis for test failures and production defects.
  • Partner with Support and Engineering to prevent repeat issues.
  • Lead reviews of test results and outstanding risks to assess release readiness.
  • Maintain traceability and test evidence aligned with ISO9001 and SOC2 standards.

Your Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

  • We strongly value your talent, energy and passion. It will also be valuable to Assent if you have the following qualifications,
  • 3+ years of experience in software testing or development with strong automation experience.
  • Experience writing automated API and UI tests (C#, Playwright, or similar tools).
  • Experience with performance testing tools such as NBomber or JMeter.
  • Strong understanding of Agile/SCRUM methodologies and test lifecycle practices.
  • Experience testing SaaS web applications across multiple browser platforms.
  • Familiarity with monitoring/log analysis tools (ElasticStack, DataDog, New Relic, etc.).
  • Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to review and challenge requirements and acceptance criteria to ensure they are testable, complete, and reflect real customer journeys and business outcomes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.
  • A proactive, user-centric approach to quality.

Nice to Have

Experience working with AWS environments.

Knowledge of data architecture patterns (e.g., medallion architecture).

Technology Environment

Our Automated Testing team works within a modern, cloud-native platform environment. You’ll have the opportunity to work with the following tools and technologies:

Cloud: Amazon Web Services (AWS)

Version Control & CI/CD: GitHub

API Testing: C# with Postman or custom test harnesses

UI Testing: Playwright (C#/TypeScript)

Performance Testing: NBomber

Test Management & Traceability: Zephyr, Jira

Experience with some or all of these tools is helpful—but we value mindset over tool mastery. If you are curious, analytical, and motivated to grow, we’ll support you in learning what you don’t know yet.

Life at Assent

Wellness: We believe that you and your family’s well being is important. As a result, we offer vacation time that increases with tenure, comprehensive benefits packages (details vary by country), life leave days and more.

Financial Benefits

  • It’s not all about the money – well, it’s a little about the money. We understand that financial health is important and we offer a competitive base salary, a corporate bonus program, retirement savings options and more.
  • Life at Assent: There is purpose beyond your work. We provide our team members with flexible work options, volunteer days and opportunities to get involved in corporate giving initiatives.
  • Lifelong Learning: At Assent, curiosity is not only valued but encouraged. You will receive professional development days that are available to you the day you start.
  • At Assent, we are committed to growing and sustaining an environment where our team members feel included, valued, and heard. Our diversity and equal opportunity practices are guided and championed by our Diversity and Inclusion Working Group and our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs).
  • Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion includes recruiting and retaining team members from diverse backgrounds and experiences, and fostering a culture of belonging where all team members are included, treated with dignity and respect, promoted on their merits, and placed in positions to contribute to business success.
  • If you require assistance or accommodation throughout any part of the interview and selection process, please contact talent@assent.com and we will be happy to help.
  • We use AI to support parts of our recruitment process, such as note-taking and initial shortlisting based on job-related qualifications. AI does not make hiring decisions. All candidates will speak with a real person, and final decisions are always made by our recruitment team.
