A Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Indeed is a developer with the primary responsibility of writing frameworks and tools to test products.
It combines the "building" aspect of software design engineering with the "breaking" aspect of software test engineering.. You’ll be writing code that automatically verifies the quality of the product.. That means that you potentially write more code than the developers
SDETs at Indeed are able to understand software internals, debug code, automate repetitive tasks, and implement new tools and frameworks needed to streamline our quality process.. Our SDETs work directly with both Software Development Engineers and Quality Assurance Engineers to understand project features, review technical designs, and implement automated test tools that help deliver quality features with efficiency.
This role will require you to participate in design and code inspections with the focus on enabling tooling, automation support, transitioning automation frameworks, and helping stabilize our test environment against issues.
