As an SDET on the Cloud Platform team, you will help ensure the quality, reliability, and scalability of the foundational services that power Esko’s cloud products.

You will work closely with software engineers, architects, and DevOps engineers to build automated testing for platform capabilities such as data and repository services, workflow, search, identity and access management services.

This is a hands-on engineering role for someone who enjoys writing code, understanding how distributed systems behave, finding difficult failure scenarios, and building automation that helps engineering teams release with confidence.

What You Will Do

• Design, develop, and maintain automated tests and test frameworks for cloud platform services and APIs.

• Build API, integration, contract, regression, system, and end-to-end tests for distributed services.

• Test complex platform behaviors including data integrity, asynchronous workflows, service interactions, authentication and authorization, and failure scenarios.

• Build performance, scalability, and reliability tests for critical platform services.

• Integrate automated tests and quality gates into CI/CD pipelines to provide fast feedback to engineering teams.

• Develop test infrastructure, test data, mocks, and tooling needed to test complex cloud services.

• Investigate failures across distributed systems using logs, metrics, traces, and other diagnostic information.

• Partner with software engineers and architects to improve testability and build quality into the software development lifecycle.

• Contribute to automation standards, testing practices, and continuous improvement across the Cloud Platform team.

Required Experience

• 5+ years of experience in SDET, Quality Engineering, Software Engineering, or Test Automation roles.

• Strong programming skills in Java, Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, or another modern programming language.

• Hands-on experience building automated tests for REST APIs, microservices, and cloud-native applications.

• Experience with API, integration, regression, and system-level testing.

• Good understanding of distributed systems and common testing challenges such as asynchronous processing, retries, failures, and service dependencies.

• Experience integrating automated tests into CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or equivalent.

• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.

• Ability to work effectively with software engineers, architects, product managers, and DevOps engineers.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with AWS or another major cloud platform.

• Experience with Kubernetes, Docker, and containerized applications.

• Experience with performance and load testing using JMeter, Gatling or equivalent.

• Experience with API contract testing and testing event-driven or asynchronous systems.

• Experience debugging distributed systems using observability tools, logs, met…
