Position Overview
We are seeking a Mid+ Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) to drive a high-ownership QA culture and ensure exceptional product quality. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, implementing, and enhancing robust automation frameworks using Java-based tooling for both UI and API testing.  Your contributions will be critical to improving testing efficiency and overall product stability.

This is a hybrid role based in Medellín, Colombia, requiring a regular on-site presence to align with team activities.
 Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, maintain, and optimize automated testing frameworks and suites (UI & API).
  • Participate actively in analysis of feature scope & acceptance criteria.
  • Validate test failures: debug root causes, analyze database changes, and collaborate with SMEs.
  • Execute & monitor automation pipelines (Jenkins or equivalent CI) and properly report failures.
  • Collaborate closely in a distributed environment and escalate blockers proactively.
  • Support developers who contribute to test automation by providing guidance, reviews, and best practices, enabling shared responsibility for AQA due to distributed testing capacity.
  • Drive QA process improvements to reduce regression time and increase stability.

Required Skills & Experience
  • 3+ years of experience in a role as an SDET or Test Automation Engineer.
  • Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent proven professional experience.
  • Advanced proficiency in UI test automation using Java with Selenide (preferred) or Selenium WebDriver, applying the Page Object Model (POM).
  • Experience with Playwright is a strong plus.
  • Demonstrated experience in REST API automation.
  • Proficiency in SQL for data validation and test debugging.
  • Exposure to CI/CD environments, preferably Jenkins, including job execution and pipeline analysis.
  • Proficiency with Git repositories for version control and Maven or Gradle for build automation.
  • Experience utilizing test management tools, such as TestRail.
  • A strong understanding of automation design patterns and industry best practices.
  • High sense of ownership and accountability over deliverables, including proactive communication and timely escalation of blockers.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively within distributed engineering teams.

Nice to Have Skills
  • Familiarity with modern UI testing frameworks such as Playwright, particularly with Java bindings.
  • Knowledge of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) principles and tools like Cucumber or Gherkin.
  • A foundational understanding of mocking strategies and test simulation for event-driven architectures, such as those involving Kafka.
  • Experience with Java test runners like TestNG or JUnit.
  • Experience with performance testing tools, for example, JMeter or Gatling.
  • Previous experience or domain knowledge in the logistics, supply chain, or Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) industries.

Soft Skills
  • Ownership and Accountability: Demonstrate a high sense of ownership over assigned testing initiatives, from initial planning and execution to final reporting, ensuring commitment to deliverables.
  • Proactive Communication: Effectively communicate and collaborate within a distributed engineering team, ensuring the timely escalation of any blockers to maintain project momentum.
  • Attention to Detail: Apply a meticulous approach to validating test failures, debugging root causes, and analyzing results to ensure the highest product quality and stability.
  • Problem-Solving and Initiative: Actively identify and address challenges, drive improvements in the QA process, and take the initiative to unblock processes and enhance testing efficiency.
  • Continuous Learning: Exhibit a strong curiosity and a commitment to continuous improvement, quickly adopting new tools and practices while developing a deep understanding of the product domain to test beyond simple pass/fail criteria.
