Senior SDET

We're looking for a Senior SDET II to join our Core Engineering (CENG) squad, the team responsible for some of the most critical systems at Bark: payments, billing, email, search (Elasticsearch), and a wide range of backend APIs and services that the rest of the product depends on. This is a systems-first role. The work CENG does rarely has a frontend, and the most important quality work here happens at the service level: API behaviour, data integrity, payment and billing edge cases, search relevance, and the interactions between complex backend systems. You'll be someone who reads backend code to understand what's actually happening, writes tests that reflect real system behaviour, and can reason clearly about how these services fail and what the correct state looks like. Beyond the squad work, this role carries real chapter-level responsibility. You'll be the one of the main people driving quality engineering innovation across the company: setting the direction for how we adopt AI tooling, building out our performance and synthetic monitoring capabilities, and helping the wider QE chapter grow technically. This isn't a title that comes with the expectation of staying in your lane. We want someone who sees the whole picture and actively shapes it. You'll be embedded in the CENG (Core Engine) squad, working closely with backend engineers from design through to production, while also contributing to the QE chapter and QE Guild in a way that meaningfully moves both forward.
