DESCRIPTION
We're on a journey to build something new! Come join our team and build new discovery and shopping products that connect customers with their vehicle of choice. We're looking for a talented Software Dev Engineer II-TEST to join our team of product managers, designers, and engineers to conceive, design, and develop innovative automotive-shopping experiences for our customers.
As an SDET, you would enjoy a fast-paced environment where you can obsess over customers by creating scalable automation solutions to improve the overall quality of testing and partner team operational work.
Our SDETs work with Software Development Engineers, Designers, and Product Managers to understand our systems, processes and develop robust automation framework(s) that support Functional, Performance as well as API level testing and would also support QAEs in extending automation coverage by writing test scripts and utilities that enable the testers and developers approximate real-world environments and regression tests, and driving the software development process towards quality-centric methodologies.
Key job responsibilities
The successful Software Development Test Engineer will be obsessed with customer experience, quality improvement, and challenge the status quo. In this role, you will:
• Lead the design, implementation, and delivery of test solutions using new or existing technologies that test major portions of software (e.g., significant component, set of features, applications or services) for large-scale, critical, and/or highly complex software.
• Influence the design and write a significant portion of the code.
• Ensure work is consistently high quality (e.g., maintainable, reliable, efficient, etc.) and incorporates best practices.
• Ensure code reviews tend to be rapid and uneventful. Provide useful code reviews for changes submitted by others.
• Identify problems and propose solutions, taking on projects that identify and mitigate risk while measuring software quality.
• Improve your team’s automation of development, testing and deployment.
• Design, develop and execute test plans and reporting on test execution.
• Coordinate test approaches, test cases, and test methodology with remote teams.
• Dive deep into our testing methodologies to transform manual quality processes to highly automated quality solutions.
• Train new teammates about your products’ customers, what your software does, how it is constructed, tested, operated, and how it fits into the bigger picture.
• Actively participate in the hiring process as well as mentor others - improving their skills, their knowledge of your software, and their ability to get things done.
A day in the life
As a Software Dev Engineer II-TEST on this team, you will be deploying your technical acumen and experience in driving the development of maintainable, reliable automation deliverables that would withstand the test of time. You will be working closely with Product Managers, Sr. Engineers, Quality Engineers, Technical Program Managers, and highly motivated peers. You will collaborate with teams across Amazon on the planning and execution of complex and highly-technical projects with high impact and visibility.
