Agero · Medford, Mass., United States
Join Agero as a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test to lead the modernization of test automation across UI and API layers. You’ll design scalable test frameworks, debug complex production incidents, and collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure rigorous quality without sacrificing speed. This is a hands-on leadership role where your technical excellence and communication skills will drive measurable impact in a mission-critical enterprise environment.
About the Role
As a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test at Agero, you’ll be instrumental in building and maintaining a robust, automated test infrastructure that supports our enterprise-scale driver assistance platform. You’ll work closely with product, engineering, and QA teams to ensure that every release is reliable, traceable, and CI-visible — while also driving process improvements that elevate the entire QA function.
What You Will Do
Design and implement test frameworks, data strategies, and CI gates for UI and API layers.
Write and review production-quality test automation using Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, or pytest.
Collaborate with product and engineering teams to define testable requirements before code is written.
Debug complex CI failures, flaky tests, environment mismatches, API failures, and production-like incidents.
Integrate automated test results into Jira-linked test management tools like Zephyr, TestRail, or Allure.
Balance speed and rigor — determine what must be automated now, what can stay manual, and what evidence is sufficient for release confidence.
Lead process improvements to modernize from manual/spreadsheet QA toward traceable, automated, CI-visible coverage.
Communicate effectively with product, engineering, QA automation, manual QA, offshore/nearshore teams, support, and leadership.
What We Are Looking For
Bachelors Degree – Computer Science or related field.
4+ years of professional software engineering, SDET, or quality engineering experience.
Strong hands-on automation experience across UI and API layers, preferably with Playwright, Cypress, Selenium, pytest, or similar tools.
Ability to write production-quality test automation and review automation/framework code written by others.
Experience designing test frameworks, test data strategies, tagging conventions, CI gates, and regression/smoke suites.
Strong ability to write clear, executable test cases and acceptance scenarios for complex business workflows.
Engineering fluency across front-end applications, backend APIs, service contracts, authentication, logs, CI/CD, and observability.
Ability to join product and engineering meetings and ask useful questions before requirements become code.
Practical experience with Jira-linked test management tools such as Zephyr, TestRail, Xray, Allure, or equivalent systems.
Strong debugging skills: CI failures, flaky tests, environment mismatches, data issues, API failures, authentication issues, and production-like incidents.
Ability to balance speed and rigor: know what must be automated now, what can stay manual temporarily, and what evidence is enough for release confidence.
Strong communication skills with product, engineering, QA automation, manual QA, offshore/nearshore teams, support, and leadership.
Willingness to be hands-on while also leading process: this person should not only coordinate quality work, but be able to do the work and raise the bar.
Nice to Have
Angular, TypeScript, Nx, monorepo, or modern front-end architecture experience.
Python experience for API validation, test tooling, data setup, or internal automation utilities.
AWS, Cognito/authentication, CloudWatch, Datadog, Snowflake, Splunk, or similar observability/data platform exposure.
Experience building synthetic monitors, contract tests, API harnesses, or data-driven regression suites.
Experience integrating automated test results into Jira/test management workflows.
Experience helping a team modernize from spreadsheet/manual QA toward traceable, automated, CI-visible coverage.
Experience in insurance, claims, dispatch, logistics, contact center, or other workflow-heavy enterprise products.
Experience using AI coding or test-generation tools responsibly inside a review-heavy engineering process.
