Role Summary
We are looking for a Software Development Engineer in Test to join our quality engineering efforts supporting our streaming media player across clients and devices. The role focuses on building test automation frameworks and quality processes for media player verification across web, mobile, connected TV, and gaming console platforms.
Your work will help ensure the player delivers seamless, high-quality streaming experiences at scale, maintaining the integrity and performance of playback across diverse device platforms and network conditions, and catching integration and service-level issues early in the development cycle.
As an SDET, you will strengthen test automation strategy, lead quality initiatives, and champion a culture of engineering excellence. The ideal candidate is innovative, proactive, and thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
Responsibilities
• Work closely with software engineers to understand the media player and its cross-device ecosystem.
• Develop automated test frameworks and suites at the UI, API, and integration levels of testing, using JavaScript/Node or other modern languages.
• Participate in design discussions to help evolve the platform in ways that enable richer testing scenarios and simplify defect detection and prevention.
• Assist with triage, diagnosis, and resolution of issues discovered across teams.
• Contribute to end-to-end acceptance tests.
• Where necessary, develop and execute manual test cases to detect issues that cannot be found through automated means.
• Drive the conversion of manual tests to automated wherever possible.
Basic Qualifications
• Minimum 2 years of hands-on software test development experience, covering both functional and non-functional test development.
• Solid experience with JavaScript/Node, Python, or other modern object-oriented languages.
• Experience with test automation across multiple device platforms (smart TVs, set-top boxes, mobile, web, gaming consoles).
• Interest in streaming media concepts such as playback quality, adaptive bitrate (ABR), DRM, and codec behavior.
• Experience building or improving test automation frameworks.
• Experience with CI/CD integration and pipeline development using Jenkins, Spinnaker, or similar tools.
• Experience with Gherkin (BDD/TDD).
• Passion for driving best practices in the testing space.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across engineering teams.
Required Education
• B.S. in Computer Science, or an equivalent degree, or equivalent work experience.
