SDET III - (JIA)

Role Purpose:

At Jumio, the Software Development Engineer in Test III plays a key role in driving quality assurance across highly scalable backend and web-based systems. As a senior individual contributor, you will architect, design, and implement robust automation frameworks and testing strategies, ensuring high coverage, performance, and reliability. You’ll be responsible for mentoring junior team members, collaborating deeply with developers and product managers, and continuously innovating to improve test efficiency and release velocity.

You will bring deep expertise in test automation (web/API), a strong foundation in Java or JavaScript, and a passion for quality engineering.

T-Shaped Engineering Expectation:
As part of Jumio’s engineering culture, you are expected to adopt a T-shaped mindset—bringing deep specialization in automation and quality engineering, while contributing broadly across test strategy, tooling, system design, and code quality. You’ll participate in architectural discussions, proactively identify quality gaps, and help scale testing across products and services.

Role Value:
Your work will ensure that Jumio’s identity verification products are secure, performant, and meet the highest quality standards. By building scalable automation frameworks, improving test pipelines, and mentoring others, you’ll directly influence release reliability and team productivity.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and maintain robust automation frameworks for web (Playwright/Selenium) and API testing (Postman, REST-assured, etc.).

• Lead the implementation of comprehensive test strategies and plans based on technical specifications and business requirements.

• Drive automation-first approaches in functional, regression, performance, and integration testing.

• Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines and ensure fast feedback cycles.

• Mentor and support junior SDETs through code reviews, tooling recommendations, and technical discussions.

• Collaborate with developers, product managers, and QA to ensure test coverage, traceability, and quality benchmarks are met.

• Contribute to test data management, mocking, and virtualization strategies to improve test reliability and independence.

• Track quality metrics, analyze defect trends, and proactively drive improvements.

Experience and Qualifications:

Must-Have:

• 5+ years of experience in test automation for backend and frontend systems.

• Strong programming skills in Java or JavaScript with a test automation focus.

• Hands-on expertise with Playwright, Selenium, or equivalent for web automation.

• Proficiency with API testing tools such as Postman, REST-assured, or similar.

• Experience building automation frameworks from scratch and integrating with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab).

• Strong knowledge of testing principles, SDLC, Agile methodology, and defect lifecycle.

• Familiarity with performance testing concepts and tools (e.g., JMeter, Gatling).

• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, microservices architecture, and backend testing strategies.

• Working knowledge of Linux/Unix systems and shell scripting.

Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with containerized environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).

• Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP.

• Exposure to infrastructure-as-code or DevOps practices.

• Experience with static code analysis and test coverage tools.

@Work:
You’ll be based out of our Bangalore office in Prestige Tech Park III, working in a fast-paced, collaborative engineering environment. As an SDET III, you’ll drive automation initiatives and collaborate with cross-functional teams to help ship high-quality features faster and more reliably
