We’re looking for a Senior Software Development Engineer in Test with extensive industry experience to define and execute the design, development, and maintenance of Fivetran’s test automation tools and framework using reliable and scalable techniques. As a Senior SDET, you will focus on solving complex testing difficulties by designing, developing and improving automation and reporting frameworks. You will invest in improving test stability and performance of the framework by developing innovative solutions to boost Fivetran’s testing efficiency. You will also coach Fivetran quality engineers to be the best in class automation engineers, and will continuously work with the team to ensure high standards for automation. The ideal candidate will be highly technical, detail-oriented, creative, motivated, and focused on achieving results.
Job Responsibility:
Review requirements, specifications and technical design documents to provide meaningful, risk-focused feedback
Design and evolve scalable automation frameworks in Java with a strong emphasis on reliability, performance, and data correctness
Write high-signal test strategies for complex features and automate them across multiple environments
Improve CI/CD pipelines by building robust validation layers that prevent silent failures and regressions
Build internal tools and proof-of-concepts using AI/LLM technologies to: Accelerate debugging and failure triaging
Generate high-quality test scenarios
Detect flaky patterns or regression risks
Improve log analysis and root-cause identification
Enhance developer and QA productivity
Design AI-assisted workflows that integrate seamlessly into the existing automation and release pipelines
Experiment with and implement agent-based systems or LLM-powered tooling that streamline development and testing processes
Actively measure and improve engineering impact through reliability metrics, automation efficiency, and defect prevention signals
Collaborate with engineering teams to drive a culture of quality ownership and automation-first thinking
Requirements:
5+ years of experience in the software industry with strong passion for quality, automation, and engineering excellence
Deep understanding of OOP principles and strong proficiency in Java
Expertise in designing scalable automation frameworks and identifying negative, edge, and high-risk scenarios
