About the role

At Safe Software, our quality engineering efforts span functional, performance, and systems-level testing across complex data integration products.
You'll join a collaborative, cross-functional environment where quality is considered a shared responsibility, not a separate phase.
As a Staff SDET, you'll have opportunities to shape how testing is done across teams and platforms.

Design, build, and evolve reusable test frameworks that are maintainable, scalable, and efficient.
Collaborate with Engineering, Product, and DevOps to embed testing throughout CI/CD and cloud-based deployments.
Mentor developers, SDETs, and QA team members to build testing skills and promote a quality-first mindset.
Standardize tools and technologies that support test automation and improve development workflows.
Maintain a healthy balance of your personal and work life without splitting yourself in two.

8+ years of experience in software development or test automation, including roles with technical leadership scope.
Deep experience with testing frameworks like Pytest, Selenium, or custom solutions.
Strong knowledge of CI/CD and orchestration tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes).
Experience with infrastructure-as-code, systems-level testing, and test infrastructure at scale.
Proven ability to influence cross-team testing strategies and mentor engineers across experience levels.
This role requires strong technical expertise in test automation and infrastructure, as well as the ability to influence and guide quality practices across multiple teams.
Your ability to mentor, innovate, and scale testing impact across an organization will be critical to success.
At Safe Software, we welcome diverse backgrounds and experiences.
While not all candidates will have everything listed, the most successful candidates will bring many of the following:

Practical fluency with AI coding assistants and agentic dev tools (Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, etc.) and a point of view on how to use them safely and effectively in a quality engineering context.
Experience integrating AI capabilities into developer tooling or test infrastructure (e.g., AI-driven flake detection, auto-triage, self-healing tests).
Familiarity with performance profiling, observability tooling, or resilience testing.
Involvement in community-of-practice leadership or internal quality initiatives.
Passion for continuous improvement and innovation in test automation and engineering practices.
When you choose a career with Safe Software, you're also choosing…
Meaningful Work: Make a profound impact across our business, workplace and data integration product.
Work when you want, and how you want to.

Enjoy 3 weeks of vacation to recharge, plus an additional paid 6 seasonal days off per year.

Define and lead the vision for test automation architecture and quality engineering at scale.
Guide architectural decisions to improve testability, observability, and long-term system health.
Monitor and report on testing coverage, quality KPIs, and risk areas to inform planning and continuous improvement.
Extended health, dental, health or lifestyle spending, and counseling benefits from day 1.
We are dedicated to supporting our employees through parenthood and offer a Parental Leave Top-Up Program for new parents through childbirth or adoption.
Take paid time off to volunteer for one of our Safe-organized opportunities that align with our core community initiatives.

You'll work with a growing group of engineers who value thoughtful design, automated delivery, and continuous learning.
Notably, as Safe expands AI capabilities across our product and our internal engineering practice, this role will help define what 'quality' means for non-deterministic systems.
