Remote Software Engineer in Test (SET)

Champion Quality from Anywhere

Think about a world where every product release is trusted and seamless and sets new benchmarks for user experience. That’s what you make possible as a Software Engineer in Test (SET)—not just by catching bugs but by redefining what quality means for our global user base. Your mission? To empower teams to ship fast, safely, and with total confidence. With an annual salary of $113,758, you’ll bring your talent to a remote-first team that values deep work, outcome-driven results, and bold ownership over every stage of testing and automation.

What You’ll Make Happen

  • Architect and maintain robust automation frameworks that power release cycles for applications used by 100,000+ users worldwide.
  • Uncover what real end-to-end quality means by designing and executing tests that push every boundary—performance, usability, and security.
  • Spot risks early, flag them clearly, and work closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to build features that users trust from day one.
  • Create feedback loops that turn discoveries into actionable improvements, inspiring teams to build it right the first time.
  • Share insights from exploratory testing that shape the entire product roadmap, not just the next sprint.
  • Partner with support to analyze live issues, ensuring customers experience excellence—not headaches—with every release.
  • Mentor others in best practices, raising the quality bar for code and process across continents and time zones.

What Sets You Up for Success

  • You automate everything you can, freeing up time for high-value detective work.
  • Your curiosity means you dive deep into logs, configs, and edge cases others overlook—always seeking the story behind the bug.
  • “Manual testing” isn’t a fallback; it’s a strategic tool you wield to explore, discover, and learn.
  • You simplify complex ideas—whether it’s over Zoom, Slack, or async docs—helping others see both the details and the big picture.
  • Experience with modern CI/CD pipelines and hands-on with tools like Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, or equivalent.
  • Strong coding skills in Python, JavaScript, or Java (or a combination)—you know how to build test automation as elegantly as application code.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native environments, Docker, Kubernetes, and distributed systems.
  • Prior exposure to remote collaboration tools, async workflows, and working across multiple time zones.

Your Day-to-Day Impact

  • Shape test strategies that keep every sprint moving smoothly without sacrificing depth or diligence.
  • Set up, monitor, and troubleshoot automation pipelines that catch issues before they reach users.
  • Jump into pull requests to advise on edge cases and quality gates, ensuring nothing slips through.
  • Facilitate bug bashes, quality retrospectives, and cross-team knowledge sharing that accelerates everyone’s growth.
  • Respond swiftly to incidents, investigating root causes and proposing fixes that last.
  • Design meaningful metrics and dashboards that clearly illuminate the state of quality across the entire organization.
  • Coach teams on risk-based testing, agile workflows, and modern QA approaches that fit our distributed reality.

Tools & Tech Stack

  • Automation: Selenium, Cypress, Playwright, REST Assured
  • Programming: Python, JavaScript, Java
  • Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure
  • Containerization: Docker, Kubernetes
  • Collaboration: Jira, Notion, Slack, Zoom
